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Historically, these businesses have been overlooked by the tech world , relying on outdated systems that make it hard to use their data effectively.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 CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact. Your goal is to make both happy without gimmicks: plain structure, sharp evidence, and links that prove you can ship to production. This guide shows you exactly how to do that. You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

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.
