About this role
Rate: 89 – 119 / hour (B2B)
We are looking for an experienced Data Scientist to engage with Flix on a freelance/service agreement basis (B2B contract). This is a contractor engagement for a professional who wants to work on impactful, hands-on data science challenges like estimating price elasticity from noisy booking data, testing new demand signals, and turning a sound method into a model that runs in production.
Scope of Services
Bring expertise in data science and quantitative analysis to w ork within Flix's Revenue Management System and build demand forecasting and price elasticity models.
About the Engagement
- Further develop demand forecast and price elasticity models that drive automatic pricing across the Flix network
- Research and test improved approaches to modelling price elasticity — from first hypothesis to validated, production-ready model
- Act as a subject-matter expert partner for forecast and pricing models, advising product and business counterparts on problems, solution ideas, and feasibility
- Actively contribute your ideas to technical brainstorming and modelling discussions as advisor
- Effectively collaborate with others to implement solutions and ensure they are practical to operate reliably in production
- Monitor and analyse the behaviour of pricing products and respond to support cases
- Contribute to the technical health, reliability, and observability of the existing system
About You
- Strong academic background in mathematics, physics, statistics, operations research, quantitative economics, or a related field, with a solid grounding in statistics and data analysis
- Alternatively, proven hands-on expertise in price elasticity or demand modelling, for example from pricing or revenue management in transport, travel, hospitality or retail
- Critical thinking and attention to detail: You question assumptions, check your results and derive your own solutions in a complex environment.
- Programming experience — preferably Python; strong background in another language is acceptable
- Good SQL skills
- Basic knowledge of machine learning
- Strong communication skills to explain your approach and results clearly to technical and non-technical colleagues
- You implement your models yourself and care that they run reliably
- You enjoy working with others, and you can build resilient working relationships with your stakeholders, even in a remote setup
Cooperation model
- Cooperation based on a service agreement (B2B/freelance contract), not an employment contract.
- You will operate as an independent contractor, responsible for delivering agreed services and submitting invoices
- Location : open for contractors based in Poland
