We’re Hiring!

Charlotte Stiller
Junior Data Analyst

Where are you from?

I grew up in a small village between Osnabrück and Bielefeld. After my bachelor studies in Osnabrück, my master studies and my love for the countryside brought me to Berlin. Our office, located in the middle of Berlin at Rosenthaler Platz, offers exactly what a country girl would expect from a tech office in Berlin: Endless lunch options, a park behind the building where you can watch yoga classes, high ceilings in old buildings and of course a fridge full of Club Mate.

What values does Smart Pricer represent?

In my opinion, the three values of transparency, quality, and team spirit are the most to the core of Smart Pricer.

What did you do before joining Smart Pricer?

Before joining Smart Pricer, I worked as a product and brand manager in the e-commerce sector. In this position, I was constantly faced with the challenge of making my decisions based on data. From a tentative approach to data, I quickly grew an insatiable curiosity and passion for data analytics and Python. After a Data Analytics Bootcamp 2021 and first experiences in a Data Science team, I started at Smart Pricer in June 2022.

What is your favourite food?

My favorite food is potatoes in any form, whether it’s French fries, potato pancakes or smashed potatoes. I could never get enough of anything.

The last book I read was…

“The secret of the black lady” by Arturo Pérez-Reverte. A crime novel that revolves around a painting from the 15th century. I devoured the book – probably also because it combines my two passions of art history and solving mysteries.

If you were an animal, what animal would you be?

Definitely a squirrel – all day looking for the next tasty nut, climbing trees, and in the evening snuggling up in the fluffy blanket I carry with me.

Stefan Richter
Country Manager DACH

I grew up in the Harz mountains, studied in Marburg and after my first job in Munich I have been living and working in Innsbruck for 15 years now.

What do you find particularly interesting about your job at Smart Pricer?

I am passionate about the mountain railroads and tourism industry and our Smart Pricer product ‘Dynamic Pricing’ supports the ski resorts in the area of capacity management and optimization of products and prices, which in turn benefits both the mountain railroads and their guests.

What motivates you?

My passion is to advise our customers with our pricing know-how and with exciting insights, which we discover in the ticket analyses of our mountain railway partners. Together we complete successful projects.

What are your hobbies?

Of course, my favorite thing to do in the winter is skiing – whether on the slopes, freeriding or ski touring – the main thing is to be outside. In summer you can find me on the MTB in the forest.

In fact, it’s Innsbruck, because it’s the ideal combination of work and alpine environment for me.

When I don’t have internet, I’m out in the mountains.

Magdalena Blaski-Makara

Junior Data Analyst

Where are you from?

I’m originally from the south of Poland, I grew up in the city of Pszczyna (who wants to guess how to pronounce the name?). I went to school in Salzburg, studied in Krakow and live in Berlin since July 2014.

What do you want to achieve in your new position?

Since I just recently started at SP and this is my first job in the tech industry, I want to learn as much as I can and get involved in various projects to get to know different industries and job roles better. Maybe I will then develop further in the direction of product management or rather as a data engineer. I am very excited about my future at Smart Pricer.

What motivates you?

I like variety – I’d rather work on several smaller projects than one big, monotonous task, which the job at Smart Pricer definitely offers me! When I work like this, I’m usually very motivated and focused, but in order to maintain this state, I also need to get enough rest – I then prefer to spend time in nature and like not to look at the screen for a while.

What is your favourite food?

I love food in general and I love trying new things, but my comfort foods are definitely beetroot soup and oatmeal with roasted apples and nuts.

What are your hobbies?

When I have the opportunity I prefer to go hiking in the mountains. Otherwise I often go to yoga, go for walks, read or spend time with friends in a boat on the river Spree when the weather is nice.

Which place on earth would you be right now if you could choose freely?

Maybe in the Alps in the Bernese Oberland? Or maybe in Andalusia… It’s very hard for me to decide.

Phillip Zastrow
IT Projectmanager / Data Analyst

I’m from Berlin and have already been around quite a bit professionally, with stops in Köpenick, Hellersdorf, Mitte and Pankow. I even had a ‘stay abroad’ in Potsdam. It is important to use terms like Schrippe and Pfannkuchen correctly!

What do you find particularly interesting about your job at Smart Pricer?

It’s the variety that it offers me. In my hybrid position, I’m responsible for advancing our product portfolio on the one hand, and on the other hand I can advance my tech skills at the same time, since I work on the code myself and keep the servers running.

How do you motivate yourself?

Smart Pricer is my first stop in the tech sector. Before that, I worked in project management in the mechanical engineering sector. In 2020, I participated in a Data Science Bootcamp and kind of tasted blood. Currently, I have an almost endless list of areas in which I can learn and acquire new skills. Smart Pricer offers me the opportunity to do just that and that’s fantastic.

Especially my Pandas/Python skills have reached a new level through various data projects and I love working with our BI dashboards. Lastly, I love getting involved on the servers and building my data engineering skills. So “Long Story Short”, the huge development opportunities are my main drive.

If I don’t have internet then…

Shhh, are you crazy?

Which place on earth would you be right now if you could choose freely?

It’s a head-to-head race. Either Lisbon or Valencia.

What’s your favorite food?

Burritos… Tacos…. Mexican? The main thing is habaneros and lots of avocados.
