causaLens is pioneering the world’s first platform for building AI data scientists - empowering everyone to create and deploy their own data science agents in days. Our platform enables teams to collaborate in a multi-agent environment, ensuring human oversight across the entire workflow and making AI-powered data science trustworthy and accessible to everyone – from analysts to business leaders.

We power industry leaders, including Cisco, Johnson & Johnson, Canon, and McCann Worldgroup, to accelerate and scale their data science capability. Join us to build the World’s First Platform for AI Data Scientists.

What we are looking for

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist based in London to join our mission to create AI Data Scientists to radically advance decision-making for leading enterprises. You will join a team of 9 Data Scientists. We hire the top 1% of Data Science talent to create an intellectually stimulating environment where you can thrive and learn. You will be helping leading enterprises build their custom data science agents and help our users get the maximum out of the platform.

What you will do

As a Senior Data Scientist at causaLens, you will play a pivotal role in advancing our decision-making technology. This position demands a strong foundation in data science, particularly but not limited to time series, and using Python as the primary programming language. Some of your responsibilities will include:

  • Collaborating directly with business stakeholders to integrate domain knowledge into the modelling process, demonstrating how insights can enhance decision workflows.
  • Crafting long-term visions and plans, in collaboration with clients and causaLens stakeholders, to successfully deploy agentic workflows into customers' strategies.
  • Work closely with the product and engineering teams to shape the development of our platform.
  • Communicate technical topics to non-technical audiences.

Requirements

  • At least 2 years of commercial data science experience using Python.
  • Please note that this and the following bullet imply a significant breadth and depth of technical skills we will be testing for during the interview process - e.g., Statistics; other programming/scripting languages; solid understanding and experience with Cloud technologies; OOP, TDD, GitHub/Actions/Flow, and MLOps best practices; classical ML algorithms; at least some NLP, etc.
  • Strong academic record in a quantitative field (MEng, MSci, EngD or PhD).
  • Excellent and proven communication and teamwork skills.
  • Previous experience in high-growth technology companies or technical consultancy is a plus.
  • Previous experience in sales, pre-sales, and/or other technical evangelism is a plus.
  • Experience with consulting and/or customer-facing roles, especially in the supply chain, demand forecasting, retail/cpg, manufacturing, marketing, financial services, or the public sector is a plus.
  • Experience with LLM and RAG, GenAI, and agentic workflows is a plus.

We care about our people’s lives, both inside and outside of causaLens. Beyond the core benefits like competitive remuneration, and a good work-life balance, we offer the following:

  • 25 days of paid holiday, plus bank holidays.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
