Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it’s through customer service, coding or couriers.

About this role

We are looking for Data Scientists to join the Insights and Enablement team. This newly established team sits within Retail Media, part of Jet Ventures, and plays a pivotal role in shaping how we use data from our Customer Data Platform (CDP), enabling advanced audience segmentation, data visualisation, dashboards and surfacing insights across Retail Media and the broader JET organisation.

This is not a typical Data Scientist, as part of a multidisciplinary, data driven team, you’ll be responsible for exploring new methods in machine learning, statistics, casual interference; prototyping and validating novel algorithms; and work closely with other data scientists, product managers, analysts and engineers to ensure data is reliable, accessible and actionable for product development and analytics. You’ll also partner with the broader Data & Analytics department, helping scale capabilities across our wider engineering teams.

We’re seeking self starters, who are passionate about data, experimentation and emerging technologies in machine learning and AI.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role
  • Lead and conduct research into advanced ML / AI methods, causal inference,(i.e. A / B Testing) and experimental design, applied to Retail Media challenges.
  • Prototype and evaluate algorithms for audience segmentation, recommendation, targeting, and campaign optimization.
  • Collaborating with data and ML engineers to design and maintain scalable data pipelines and ML workflows, ensuring robust model deployment and monitoring.
  • Identify and address critical gaps in data quality, model performance and pipeline reliability.
  • Mentor and support fellow data scientists, fostering a culture of collaboration and technical excellence.
  • Shape and implement data strategies that enable experimentation, audience segmentation and performance analytics.
  • Champion best practices in data science and ML, contributing to the wider data science and engineering community at JET.
What will you bring to the table?
  • Proven experience as a research-focused data scientist, with a track record of applying ML, AI, or statistical methods to complex, real-world problems and building and deployment of these models into production.
  • Strong background in machine learning, causal inference, experimentation, or recommendation systems .
  • Demonstrated ability to bridge theoretical depth with practical impact , knowing when to experiment and when to deliver.
  • Deep understanding of data mining, feature engineering and ML techniques - especially in audience segmentation or personalisation .
  • Clear and effective communication skills, with the ability to tailor insights for both technical and non technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical rigor in evaluating models, experiments and algorithmic changes using offline and online methods.
  • Skilled at navigating ambiguity and t urning complex, messy data into actionable insights.
  • Proficiency in SQL and navigating large scale data lakes and warehouses (e.g. Google BigQuery, Redshift).
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP is a plus!
At JET, this is on the menu :

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.

Fun, fast-paced and supportive, the JET culture is about movement, growth and about celebrating every aspect of our JETers. Thanks to them we stay one step ahead of the competition.

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.
