About

This is a chance to join a high-growth technology environment where data science is not just exploratory work but directly tied to product outcomes.

The focus is on turning ideas into deployed machine learning systems that improve real user experiences at scale.

You will be part of a Data and AI team working closely with product and engineering to build intelligent features powered by modern machine learning and large language models.

What the role involves
  • Taking ideas from early hypothesis through to production systems
  • Building and deploying ML and AI features that are customer facing
  • Designing experiments that prove real world impact through clear metrics and A/B testing
  • Working across prototype, MVP and scaled production systems
  • Partnering with product managers, engineers and designers to define the right problems to solve
  • Applying modern AI approaches including transformers, recommender systems and time series modelling
What you will bring
  • A track record of shipping machine learning or AI features end to end in production
  • Strong experience in NLP, retrieval augmented generation, recommender systems, anomaly detection and deep learning methods
  • Strong Python skills with experience in production ML frameworks and LLM tooling such as Hugging Face Transformers and LangChain or LangGraph
  • Cloud experience with AWS services such as SageMaker, Bedrock, S3, ECS and Lambda
  • An experimentation first mindset including offline evaluation, A/B testing, model monitoring, drift detection and telemetry linked to business outcomes
  • Solid data engineering skills including SQL, NoSQL or vector databases, streaming systems and data quality practices
  • Understanding of responsible AI principles, including security, privacy and compliance considerations
How you will work
  • You will work in a highly collaborative environment with product, engineering and design
  • You will be expected to move quickly from idea to production while maintaining quality and reliability
  • You will contribute to a culture of experimentation and continuous improvement
  • You will help mentor others and share knowledge across the team
What is on offer
  • High impact work on real AI driven product features
  • Strong ownership from idea to production
  • Flexible hybrid working environment
  • Support for home office setup and modern tools
  • Strong investment in learning, training and professional development
  • Access to wellbeing initiatives and flexible leave options
  • Inclusive culture that values different perspectives and backgrounds
Who will succeed in this role

This role suits someone who enjoys building real systems rather than research alone. You will likely thrive if you are comfortable working in ambiguity, enjoy experimentation, and are motivated by seeing your work deployed into production where it directly affects users.

If you want to work on applied AI problems with real scale and impact, this role will be a strong fit.
