Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it’s through

customer service, coding or couriers.

About this role:

Join our Customer Data Science (CDS) team and build the engine that powers our customer experience. You won’t just tweak existing models; you will deploy ML and AI solutions that shape how millions of users discover our apps. Backed by a state-of-the-art ML platform and some of the richest datasets in the industry, this is your chance to move beyond proof-of-concepts and see your work drive real-world impact.

These are some ingredients to the role:

  • Impact at Scale: Your algorithms will solve complex ranking and search problems, instantly affecting the user journey for millions of customers.
  • Cutting-Edge Tech: Pioneer the integration of Generative AI, Large Language Models, and real-time features into our foundation models and search and recommendation engines.
  • Autonomy: We trust you to lead well-defined assignments independently, owning projects from conception to production.
  • Growth Culture: Work alongside highly skilled colleagues in an ambitious, diverse team that prioritizes your development and career progression.
  • Build & Deploy: Take a hands-on role in exploring data and building training pipelines to ensure models are scalable, robust, and solve real business problems.
  • Innovate with GenAI: Apply Generative AI approaches to create hyper-personalized experiences in our apps.
  • Drive Decisions: Partner with stakeholders to transform business needs into actionable methodologies, using your evaluations to influence product strategy.
  • Engineer for Success: Collaborate with Data and ML Engineers to enhance pipelines and apply MLOps best practices across the model lifecycle

What will you bring to the table?

  • The Experience: Hands-on data science experience with a track record of building ML/AI solutions that drive quantifiable business value.
  • Strong Foundations: A solid grasp of data mining, feature engineering, modeling, and evaluation specifically within the search and recommendations domain.
  • The GenAI Edge: Practical experience applying Large Language Models (LLMs) and Vector Search techniques (e.g., semantic retrieval, embeddings).
  • Evidence-Driven: The ability to design and evaluate both ML models and LLMs in offline and online experiments.
  • The Toolkit: Fluent in Python with the ability to write clean, testable code that integrates seamlessly with engineering workflows.
  • SQL Mastery: Expert navigation of complex data warehouses (BigQuery) to wrangle huge datasets without hand-holding.
  • The Mindset: An analytical problem solver who values simplicity, brings clarity to ambiguous questions, and communicates complex insights effectively to any audience.

At JET, this is on the menu:

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
