You will collaborate closely with a cross-functional team of engineers, product managers, designers, data analysts, and ML engineers to develop and maintain impactful AI/ML models at scale.

Responsibilities
  • Work on some of our most exciting Data Science initiatives aimed at improving the Trustpilot consumer experience: from ranking and recommendations to natural language processing and search.
  • Build, deploy, and maintain production-ready ML models that directly power features used by millions of users.
  • Collaborate closely with engineers, product managers, and designers to develop user-facing features informed by ML and experimentation.
  • Use data and model insights to identify new opportunities for personalization and discovery across our platform.
  • Take ownership of specific ML features or components and drive them from concept to production and iteration.
  • Work with leading tools such as GCP Vertex AI, BigQuery, Airflow, and emerging ML technologies.
  • Be a part of a friendly, diverse, innovative, international team and workplace that encourages learning and growth.
Qualifications
  • To succeed in this role, you'll bring hands‑on experience developing and deploying machine learning solutions, especially in areas such as ranking, search, recommendations, conversational experiences and personalization. You'll also demonstrate a strong understanding of user behaviour data and how to use it to influence product development. A product mindset and ability to work cross‑functionally are essential.
  • Experience working in a Data Science or Machine Learning role, ideally on consumer‑facing products like search, ranking, recommendations, personalization, or discovery.
  • Strong hands‑on ability with ML modeling, including semantic search, ranking algorithms, clustering, recommendation systems, and natural language processing (NLP), with a track record of deploying models to production.
  • Strong skills in data analysis, statistical modelling, and computational problem‑solving; ideally with a background in a quantitative field such as Statistics, Mathematics, Physics, or Computer Science.
  • Comfortable working with large‑scale data and behavioural/user interaction data, and using it to build impactful, data‑driven product features.
  • Proficient in Python and SQL, and confident working across the full ML lifecycle from exploration to deployment.
  • Experience with cloud platforms like GCP (preferred), AWS, or Azure, and tools such as BigQuery, Vertex AI, and Airflow.
  • Familiarity with ML production tooling and infrastructure, including CI/CD workflows.
  • Comfortable using metrics to monitor, iterate, and improve model performance.
  • Excellent communication skills - able to engage clearly and effectively with both technical teams and business stakeholders.
  • Collaborative and agile‑experienced in working closely with Product Managers, UX Designers, and Engineers within cross‑functional teams to create impactful solutions.
  • You take ownership, move quickly, and are driven to solve real user problems with scalable, measurable, and maintainable solutions.

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.
