• You help others at RTL and beyond understand how we use data science and AI in production and at scale.
• You mentor, develop, and inspire your colleagues in the team with technical expertise and keep an eye out for improvement opportunities for the long term.

• The ability to work independently, as well as collaboratively. 
• The ability to build good and productive working relationships with colleagues and stakeholders.
• Strong language skills in English and Python.
• Located in the Netherlands and eligible for work in the Netherlands.
• You have at least 2 years of work experience.

Additionally, we would love it if you have experience: 

• building data science products in industry.
• being part of a team developing and managing production models.
• mentoring other data scientists and improving data science teams.
• with Docker, Databricks, and MLflow, or other MLOps systems.
• in media or multimodal content.
• with (open-source) software development.
   

We strongly encourage candidates of all different backgrounds and identities to apply. If you're excited about this role but your past experience doesn't align perfectly with every qualification in the job description, we'd still like to learn more about you and see if you could be a great fit for this position. We're committed to considering a broad array of candidates, including those who may not meet every single requirement. 

Your Team

We are a team of 7 data scientists and a data science manager looking to have one more colleague. We build data products that directly impact our consumers, advertisers, or employees. Our main focus is on developing human-in-the-loop ?- + ?'?‍🎨 solutions that empower our creative people. Additionally, we keep it flexible and contribute in multiple ways, from producing models for forecasting, enabling personalisation, to supporting marketing with a marketing mix model. As we work on a lot of diverse challenges, a day at RTL is never the same. One day, you might work on a model to pick the most aesthetically pleasing thumbnail for Videoland. Another day, you might help with selecting what movie to show on RTL 7. A third day, you might fix a production issue for search on rtl.nl. 

The data science team is part of the data unit, where you will find people with other roles, such as data engineers and data analysts. In turn, the data unit is part of the tech department. 

Our data science tech stack is focused on Python (with libraries Pandas, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and we are mostly on Azure. We also use PySpark. We track our code with git, package our work in Docker, deploy using Argo CD, schedule with Airflow, and track experiments with MLflow on Databricks. For video processing, we leverage Argo Workflows on Kubernetes. Most of our data comes from Snowflake or Kafka. Elasticsearch powers our search and much more. 

About us

RTL started in 1989 as the first commercial broadcaster in the Netherlands. Our mission has not changed since then: we want to reach and inspire everyone in the Netherlands with essential stories that touch the heart and mind. RTL has five television channels (RTL 4, RTL 5, RTL 7, RTL 8 and RTL Z), streaming platform Videoland, three digital theme channels (RTL Lounge, RTL Crime, RTL Telekids), sales organization Ad Alliance and the platforms RTL.nl and RTL Weer / Buienradar. RTL Nieuws, Editie NL and RTL Z bring you 24/7 the latest news, their own journalistic research and interpretation via the broadcasts, website, app and socials. Our makers tell the stories that are relevant to the Netherlands. Personal, recognizable, close by and thanks to our tech and content experts you can view it where and when you want. We are always looking for new colleagues who bring a perspective that complements and makes us better. RTL is a subsidiary of the international RTL Group, part of Bertelsmann.
