Data Scientist | Python | Machine Learning | SQL | Large Language Models | Hybrid, London


Our Mission

We’re on a mission to help blue-collar parts businesses grow and scale. These are the companies that keep the world running — powering the food we eat, the cars we drive, and the buildings we live in.


Historically, these businesses have been overlooked by the tech world, relying on outdated systems that make it hard to use their data effectively. Their information is often fragmented, unstructured, and inaccessible — meaning they can’t make the data-driven decisions that fuel modern growth.


With the rise of Large Language Models (LLMs), it’s now possible to bring this data together and make it understandable and actionable for non-technical users. Our team is leveraging these breakthroughs to empower every blue-collar business to grow with data.


We’re VC-backed by leading investors with a track record of supporting some of the world’s most successful startups.


The Role

We’re hiring a Research Data Scientist to join us at an exciting early stage. You’ll play a pivotal role in turning messy, real-world industry data into AI-driven insights and intelligent products.

Our customers operate in industries that have been underserved by modern software for decades. Their data is fragmented, incomplete, and complex — you’ll bring scientific rigor, creativity, and experimentation to make sense of it, test hypotheses, and build models that deliver measurable business impact.


This is a blend of data exploration, applied ML, and LLM experimentation. You’ll design and run experiments, validate ideas with real-world data, and collaborate closely with engineers to turn research into production-ready systems.


Key challenges you’ll help tackle:

  • Transform large, messy datasets from legacy systems into structured, usable formats
  • Design, run, and evaluate experiments using rigorous statistical methods
  • Prototype ML models for forecasting, optimization, and recommendation across sales, inventory, and operations
  • Explore and fine-tune LLMs for practical use cases within industry workflows
  • Partner with engineers to take research from proof-of-concept to scalable production systems
  • Build a culture of experimentation — documenting results, sharing learnings, and influencing product direction through data


You’ll work alongside experienced engineers and founders who are passionate about the intersection of AI, data, and real-world impact. This is your chance to shape the foundation of an AI platform for underserved industries — from raw data to tangible outcomes.


About You

  • You see data as the engine for innovation — using it to uncover insights that drive business value
  • You bring a scientific mindset (Bachelor’s/Master’s/PhD in a quantitative discipline) with strong experimental and statistical reasoning
  • 2+ years of hands-on experience in data science, ML engineering, or applied research
  • Skilled at designing and evaluating experiments with proper baselines, controls, and metrics
  • Excited to explore and apply LLMs in practical, business-focused contexts
  • Thrive in a fast-moving, iterative environment where research rapidly turns into real-world applications
  • No domain expertise required — curiosity and adaptability are key


Technical skillset:

  • Must-have: Python, data science/ML libraries (pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, Hugging Face), experiment design, evaluation metrics
  • Nice-to-have: LLM fine-tuning, prompt engineering, SQL/PostgreSQL


How We Work

  • We live for our customers — aiming to be the most reliable, highest-ROI product they’ve ever used
  • We move fast and stay focused on real-world results
  • We tie every tech metric directly to user impact
  • We’re open, collaborative, and challenge ideas — not people
  • We take ownership — “that’s not my job” isn’t in our vocabulary
  • We’re bold — transforming how an entire industry works isn’t easy, but we’re here for it
  • We care deeply about our team and your growth — this should be the most enjoyable and impactful chapter of your career

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.

Neurodiversity in AI Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The AI industry moves quickly, breaks rules & rewards people who see the world differently. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & considering a career in artificial intelligence, you might have been told your brain is “too much”, “too scattered” or “too different” for a technical field. In reality, many of the strengths that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia map beautifully onto AI work – from spotting patterns in data to creative problem-solving & deep focus. This guide is written for AI job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in an AI context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths match specific AI roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of where you might thrive in AI – & how to set yourself up for success.
