Data Scientist - Renewable Energy

We're looking for an experienced Data Scientist to help us on an exciting new project based on our proprietary clickstream data. We collect tens of millions of events per month, from tens of thousands of users across the world.


About us

Since its launch in 2018, Gener8 has been at the forefront of the “open data” movement: the belief that people should be able to control and be rewarded from their own data. Gener8’s consumer products include a web browser, browser extension, IOS and Android apps. Our products enable people to transparently and willingly share their data with Gener8, whilst preserving their privacy, so that we can create value from it for them.


We are growing fast. With tens of thousands new app downloads every month. Every month our desktop browser racks up the equivalent of 250 yrs in time spent browsing on it. As you can imagine, we have huge amounts of proprietary data which we can create value from.


Gener8 was named ‘Disruptor of the year’ in 2022 by the Great British Entrepreneur Awards. Our investors include 3 Dragons fromas well as personalities such as the rap star Tinie Tempah, former football manager Harry Redknapp and cricketer Chris Gayle to name a few. In 2023 we met with the Prime Minister at Downing street and were invited to become a member of the Government’s new “Smart Data Council”, shaping the future of data legislation in the UK. We also regularly engage with European legislators on the Digital Markets Act which empowers users to control and earn from their data.


The first part of the project will involve modelling our raw clickstream data to make it nationally representative of the UK and US, where we already have relevant national census data.


The second part will be analysing this dataset for behavioural changes amongst several cohorts of users, to measure how it has changed over time (~1yr) and understand this in greater detail.


There is also the opportunity to include our other datasets in this analysis, such as in-app usage.


As well as executing the modelling and analysis we'll be looking to learn from you what the best approach is and questions to ask are, as we discover more through the project.


The final output will firstly be a presentation given to senior business stakeholders, technical experts and other data scientists as well as an accompanying written report.


Relevant skills & experience:

  • Nat Rep modelling
  • Analysing large clickstream (pageview) datasets
  • Python and or R
  • SQL

Technical details

  • Primary dataset: ~200GB, ~360m rows, ~30 columns
  • Dialect: BigQuery - we can provide experienced in-house technical support with complex queries

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
