• Applying statistical and AI techniques to generate actionable insights
• Contributing to experimental research, model prototyping, and A/B testing
• Presenting findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Collaborating across data science, engineering, and product teams to build scalable solutions
• Staying current with advancements in machine learning and AI, and contributing new ideas to internal R&D discussions

• A recently completed Master’s degree from a Russell Group university in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related discipline
• Strong programming skills in Python (e.g. NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib); R is also welcome
• A solid understanding of core machine learning concepts, data wrangling, and model evaluation
• Proficiency with SQL and experience handling large datasets
• A passion for solving complex problems using data and a continuous learning mindset
• Excellent communication and collaboration skills
• Full right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role)

Desirable (Not Essential):

• Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch)
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Experience with experimental design, research methods, or academic publishing
• Understanding of MLOps, version control (Git), or containerisation (e.g. Docker)

Benefits:

Competitive Salary & Bonus : £35,000 – £45,000 plus bonus

Hybrid Working : A flexible mix of office and remote work

Career Growth : Structured professional development, mentorship, and training opportunities
