As a ****Senior Machine Learning Engineer**** at PDR.cloud, you will take ownership of the entire ML lifecycle --- from exploratory data analysis and model development to production pipelines and ongoing evaluation. You work hands-on, are the first ML hire on the team, and shape what data-driven intelligence looks like at PDR.cloud. Greenfield, real creative freedom, and bold pilot customers included. ### Activities * PDR.cloud is a Berlin-based SaaS company enabling fully digital workshops for automotive repair shops --- with modern IT architecture and smart solutions for complex damage processes * As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at PDR.cloud, you will own the complete ML lifecycle: exploratory analysis, data modeling, feature engineering, model development, and production pipelines * You work hands-on across everything that comes with it --- including data acquisition, schema design, data preparation, and the tools we use to evaluate our data * You collaborate closely with Product and Engineering using a rapid prototyping approach: validating hypotheses, iterating on models, extracting insights from data, and turning them into real product decisions * The role at PDR.cloud offers maximum creative freedom: you shape architecture, tooling, and data culture * Beyond the prototyping phase, exciting long-term challenges await: you will calibrate our models for a growing, heterogeneous customer base and continuously improve model quality ### Requirements ****Must-have**** * Several years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, Data Engineer, or Applied Data Scientist with a clear engineering focus --- you design pipelines yourself and solve data problems independently * Strong Python and SQL skills, plus confident use of a cloud platform (AWS, GCP, or Azure) * A solid statistical foundation beyond sklearn defaults: you know classical and probabilistic model families and understand when to apply which approach * Experience with production model deployment and MLOps fundamentals --- you don't need a ready-made ML platform, but build new model pipelines from scratch together with our ops professionals at PDR.cloud * A pragmatic, hands-on mindset: you enjoy working in rapid prototyping mode, deliver MVPs instead of over-engineered architecture, and handle incomplete data and shifting requirements with confidence ****Nice-to-have**** * Experience with event or sequence data (logs, tracking events, transaction data) and irregular timestamps * Knowledge of probabilistic modeling or process mining * Experience building data and ML infrastructure in a greenfield setup * Background in SaaS, automotive, or insurance environments * Experience in agile product teams and direct collaboration with pilot customers ### Team You will be part of a dedicated, interdisciplinary development team of experienced fullstack developers, UX designers, and product managers. At PDR.cloud, open communication, mutual support, and a constructive feedback culture are what matter --- you will feel that from day one. You will work primarily remote, but regularly join your team for workshops or team-building events in Berlin --- for shared ideas and genuine connection beyond the screen. Flat hierarchies and short decision-making paths give you the freedom you need to work creatively, efficiently, and independently, while continuing to grow personally. ### Application Process Our application process is transparent, streamlined, and personal: 1. ****Initial introduction (remote)**** --- A brief conversation to get to know you and your motivation. 2. ****Technical interview**** --- A technical discussion with our developers, potentially including a code review or a small practical task. 3. ****Team interview**** --- An exchange with your future colleagues to ask questions and get a feel for our working environment. 4. ****Final conversation \& offer**** --- A joint alignment on the terms and your earliest possible start date. We value prompt feedback and will support you throughout the entire process in an open and appreciative way. ### About the Company PDR.cloud wurde 2018 in Berlin gegründet.
