Hi there!
We are Semrush, a global IT company developing our own product – a platform for digital marketers. New stars are born here, so don’t miss your chance.

Tasks in the role

  • DS project development cycle: from problem statement and research to experiments

  • Development of classification/ranking/regression/clustering models

  • Working with LLM: embeddings, prompt engineering, model fine-tuning

  • Supporting the infrastructure for conducting experiments, storing results, retraining models, quality monitoring, and alerting

  • Working with data providers' API

Who we are looking for

  • 3+ years of experience as a DS/MLE

  • Strong understanding of the principles of machine learning algorithms, probability theory, statistics, and linear algebra

  • High proficiency in Python and ML stack

  • Experience with LLM

  • Reproducible research

  • Responsibility and proactivity; someone who wants to achieve goals rather than just complete task

Not required, but a plus

  • Data visualization and presentation skills

  • Proficient in SQL

  • Experience with NLP

  • Experience with DVC

  • You share our common values: Trust, because we prefer to speak up and be our true selves; Sense of Ownership, because it’s not worth wasting time on something you don’t believe in; and enthusiasm for Constant Changes, because we are always looking to make things better

Olga

Researcher

At Semrush, we take a serious and comprehensive approach to hiring new people. We welcome those who are professionals in their field and passionate about their work to join our team.

A “five-minute interview” or “get a job in three clicks” approach is not the way we work.

During the interview, we ask candidates to talk about themselves and their background in detail. We try to discover the most important aspects about the way someone works and their personality before a job offer is made.

Up to 3 days

Once the resume is received it will be reviewed by a member of the Talent Acquisition team. We try to provide feedback within three working days.

Flexible approach for an interview format

We’re flexible and open for both online interviews and personal meetings at the offices. Choose the option that’s most suitable for you!

In order for the online meetings to be productive, we suggest following these tips to make sure you are set up well:

  • Join the interview from a laptop or desktop computer (not a smartphone). You may need to print something or present your screen during the interview.
  • Please turn on your camera. Visual communication is especially important for us.
  • Choose a quiet place to talk. Attending an interview from the street is not a good idea.
  • Keep your phone at hand in case there are technical issues that mean we have to continue the interview by direct call.

Good luck!

Product & Development

The name Product & Development (P&D) is self-explanatory. More than 50 teams are involved in creation and development of Semrush products.

Data Scientist (Samurai Team)

Fun fact: many P&D teams are associated with a specific color–maroon, navy, orange, khaki, etc. Some teams opt for really unusual colors, like “avocado” or “coffee.” Instead of mundanity, we strive to enjoy bright daily routines. The spirit of creativity is in Semrush’s DNA.

In every location, the team set-up looks similar: the Product Owner is responsible for the tool development strategy. Then there are Backend, Frontend, or Fullstack developers, and a QA Engineer.

However, there are frequent exceptions. For example, some teams may include a Data Scientist or a DevOps Engineer, other teams–a Scrum Master.

The P&D team has bases in all our European locations: Spain, Germany, the Netherlands, Czech Republic, Poland, Cyprus, Serbia, and Armenia. Our P&D colleagues work in sprints and believe that releasing a new feature on Friday might not be the best idea.
