Overview

We\'re hiring data scientists who get into the weeds, ship delightful software, and want to step into the arena in the fight against climate change.

We\'re building the software infrastructure for the decarbonised energy system, backed by some of the best investors in the world (TechCrunch).

We make the technology to move energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green. Our software controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We use machine learning to figure out what energy people will need, and when they\'ll need it. We control tens of thousands of energy assets, and we\'re growing quickly.

Read more about what we\'re building here.

Requirements

You can expect:

  • insane amounts of ownership
  • hard technical challenges
  • that what you build is commercially and environmentally valuable

In return, we ask for:

  • the courage to build new things fast
  • a commitment to real world impact over technical perfection
  • a desire to help build and lead an exceptional and tight knit team
  • deep-seated motivation to combat climate change

And it\'d be nice if you could bring:

  • knowledge of the electricity system, specifically power trading
  • comfort speaking to clients (we\'re a small team and we all wear many hats)
  • familiarity with time-series data

You shouldn\'t apply if:

  • uncertainty scares you
  • you aren\'t prepared to try, fail, and try again
  • you\'re looking for a low intensity, low impact role
Interview process
  1. Initial interview
  2. Take-home exercise
  3. Final interview (in-person)
  4. Offer, references, and welcome to the team!
Tech stack

We do everything in Python, because it allows data scientists and engineers to collaborate closely and move quickly. Our data scientists write lots of production code. We Streamlit.

We try a bunch of things in Figma before we build them in code, because it\'s a fast and cheap way to get feedback.

Everything we build lives in Docker, for minimal cross-platform faff and maximal reproducibility.

We deploy on GCP

Benefits

We love the idea of fully remote work but it doesn\'t... work. For very early stage companies, people learn faster, get on better, and accomplish more when they\'re spending a decent chunk of time together. We ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in our London office.

We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we\'re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don\'t fit the traditional engineering stereotypes. If you\'re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not \'check all the boxes\'.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.
