Who we are
Vorsee (by ZYTLYN Technologies) empowers companies across the $11 trillion travel industry to shape the future with predictive AI solutions that augment commercial planning, sales, marketing, retailing and operations. We work with some of the largest travel brands in the world, and our vision is to answer highly detailed and granular questions about the future of travel, such as demand, supply, market fluctuations and pricing. Our core focus is on airlines, airports, travel agencies, destinations, tourism boards, hotels, car rentals, travel retailers, and luxury brands.
Who we are looking for
We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist who is passionate about solving complex data and forecasting problems in the travel industry. You are someone who thrives on turning large-scale, real-world data into accurate, actionable insights and predictions that drive business decisions. You combine strong statistical foundations with practical machine learning expertise and are comfortable owning projects end-to-end from problem framing and data exploration to deployment and monitoring in a cloud environment.
You are curious, business-oriented, and collaborative. You understand that forecasting in the travel industry requires both technical excellence and domain awareness, especially when working with seasonality, demand volatility, and external drivers.
Location / Contract type
- Geneva, Switzerland Office;
- Full-time, Permanent contract.
Our culture
We have a culture that focuses on empowering people, with team members working in our HQ (Geneva, Switzerland), and all across Europe (e.g. France, Spain, Italy, Poland, UK).

- Work with large-scale datasets (e.g., data pipelines, model training).
- Apply and compare classical statistical models (e.g., ARIMA/SARIMA, ETS, Prophet) and machine learning models (e.g., Random Forest, Gradient Boosting, XGBoost, LightGBM) for forecasting tasks.
- Explore and implement deep learning approaches where appropriate.
- Perform thorough data analysis, feature engineering, and validation tailored to time series data (cross-validation strategies, backtesting, handling seasonality and trends).
- Collaborate with data engineers, product managers, and business stakeholders to translate business needs into scalable data solutions.
- Ensure high-quality code standards, reproducibility, and documentation.
- Contribute to model deployment and lifecycle management in production environments.
Requirements
