Your team
Join Statista's Data Visualization team, responsible for how data is presented and experienced across the platform and beyond (e.g., APIs, LLM integrations).

Your profile
* Experience building data-driven or AI-powered systems (e.g., classification, RAG, data workflows)
* Strong Python skills (analysis, experimentation, prototyping)
* Pragmatic, product-focused mindset with interest in end-user impact
* Motivation to learn and work with Java in production
* Knowledge of data visualization principles (chart types, best practices)
* Experience with LLMs, prompt engineering, or evaluation frameworks
* Familiarity with AWS, event-driven systems, or messaging tools
