About JOKR

JOKR is an extremely fast-growing, well funded international startup reinventing retail with 15-minute  or less grocery and consumer items delivery that allows shoppers to put less energy into planning, waste less, and save time whether they want to buy from global suppliers or local brands. 

Within four months, we’ve built hubs in 13 cities across 7 countries in North and South America and Europe. And investors and customers have noticed, which has given us the fuel to enter another 7 cities and build hundreds more hubs within the next two years. 

What We Need From You

We are looking for a Senior and Junior Data Scientist/researcher to join the personalization and recommendation team in our new Tel Aviv office, dubbed the Vision Team, which will propel us ahead of all existing competitors to come. Once clear goals are scoped by product, and datasets and data pipelines have been created per your and product request, we will leverage your applied and research expertise to train initial models, refining them based on test set performance and feedback from cross-functional stakeholders, developing new algorithms if needed, and finally producing one or more candidate models that meet the required accuracy and latency benchmarks to take the models to production. The role of the data scientist is prominent to our core Tel Aviv team, alongside data engineers. You should feel comfortable working in a Decentralised team structure, rather than a functional/centralized one.
