  • Data Science & Analytics – Content – Build personalised customer experiences using viewing data and help customers discover more of what they love
  • Data Science & Analytics – Product & Operations – Work with product teams to build new data tools and improve effectiveness and performance of everyday products
What we’re looking for

You’re a graduate from any degree discipline, or will soon be. You may have studied maths, statistics, computer science, economics, or physics, or be able to demonstrate your understanding of data through personal or university projects. What matters most is your passion for data and the drive and ambition you can bring to the team.

Other skills we value
  • Logical, end‑to‑end thinker
  • Enthusiastic problem‑solver with numerical, presentation, and IT skills
  • Previous experience in data manipulation using Python, SQL, R, SAS, MATLAB
  • Academic experience in machine learning, including supervised/unsupervised learning, regression, decision trees, random forests, and boosting
  • Enjoy task‑focused delivery, fast‑paced environments, and overcoming challenges
  • Collaborative, great with people, and keen on following recent trends in the market
