Our mission is to build products that customers love by harnessing cutting-edge AI to transform their shopping experience.


About the Job

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist with experience in bringing advanced machine learning and data science systems to production to work with our team of industry leading domain experts and engineers. You'll be working across our entire data science stack, from advanced recommender systems to comprehensive performance analytics.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and implement scalable machine learning for complex data analysis, optimised recommendations, and predictive modelling.
  • Translate the latest advances in machine learning into impactful solutions and products, from rapid MVPs to fully deployed, production-ready systems.
  • Bring your models to production and optimise for inference in edge computing environments.


Essential Qualifications:

  • 3-5+ years implementing advanced data science solutions in a commercial setting.
  • MSc in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • Experience building data pipelines (realtime or batch) & data quality using modern toolchain (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt).
  • Strong foundational knowledge of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, including deep neural networks, supervised/unsupervised learning, predictive analysis, and forecasting.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python, with a demonstrated ability to develop and debug production-grade code.


Desired Skills (Bonus Points):

  • Strong practical understanding of retail analytics including consumer segmentations, personalisation systems, campaign effectiveness and media measurement.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
