Brief Description
Join FreshDirect's Data Warehouse & Business Intelligence Team in Istanbul
FreshDirect has been New York's most trusted online grocery brand for over 20 years. Our name is synonymous with quality across the city, and our delivery trucks are a familiar sight in every neighborhood. As a sponsor of the New York Yankees, we are proudly woven into the fabric of New York City and its culture.

Powering Data-Driven Grocery Innovation
We deliver the freshest, highest-quality groceries and food in New York. Picture this data challenge: fish caught in Iceland, tracked through our supply chain systems, and served on a dinner table the next day. With more than 12,000 products—many exclusive to FreshDirect—we generate massive datasets across inventory management, customer behavior, and logistics optimization that directly impact New Yorkers' daily lives.

Our team of 3,000 people operates from a 60,000 m² fulfillment center just minutes from Manhattan, creating rich operational data streams that fuel business intelligence across every aspect of our operations. FreshDirect isn't just a delivery service—it's a data-driven ecosystem that's integral to daily life in the city.

Your Impact on Data Architecture and Analytics excellence
You'll architect and scale the cloud-native data platform that powers our omnichannel retail ecosystem, leveraging GCP's modern data stack to deliver real-time insights across our entire value chain.

As our Senior Data Architect, you'll drive architectural decisions that enable:

Advanced Supply Chain Intelligence
: Design and implement scalable data lakes using BigQuery and Cloud Storage to optimize demand forecasting models across 12,000+ SKUs, integrating real-time inventory streams with ML-powered prediction pipelines using Vertex AI.

Customer 360 & Personalization
: Architect comprehensive customer data platforms combining transactional, behavioral, and preference data through Cloud Dataflow and Pub/Sub, enabling sophisticated segmentation and recommendation engines that deliver personalized experiences at scale.

Real-time Operational Intelligence
: Build event-driven architectures using Cloud Functions and Dataflow to create low-latency analytics for fulfillment optimization, inventory management, and operational KPIs across our distribution network.

Strategic Data Products
: Lead the design of enterprise data models and semantic layers that democratize insights across business units, implementing governance frameworks and data mesh principles to ensure scalability and reliability.

Your expertise in modern data architecture patterns—from lakehouse implementations to stream processing at scale—will directly influence how we leverage data as a competitive advantage, impacting millions of customers across our market. You'll be working with cutting-edge GCP services including BigQuery ML, Looker, Cloud Composer, and Data Catalog to build the next generation of our data infrastructure.

Our Foundation & Culture
FreshDirect is owned by the founders of BiTaksi and Getir—companies renowned for combining operations excellence with technology innovation at massive scale. This gives us unique insights into building data systems that support both rapid growth and operational complexity.

Our Istanbul office is housed in a villa in Levent—the same location where Getir began its journey. We foster a focused yet dynamic environment where founders are accessible and data-driven ideas translate quickly into action. You'll collaborate closely with our New York-based teams and have opportunities to visit our Manhattan operations to see your data solutions in action.

Join us to build the data infrastructure and analytical capabilities that serve millions of people every day, transforming how a major metropolitan area thinks about food delivery and grocery shopping.
