We’ve already achieved significant ARR, closed a £3m fundraise, and are backed by Azzurri Group, one of the UK’s most successful hospitality investment platforms. With an exciting roadmap to deliver, we’re looking for a Data Scientist to help us build price modelling & optimisation for the hospitality sector, enabling brilliant restaurants, pubs, bars & cafés to thrive and grow.

  • Collaborate with engineering teams to integrate algorithms into production systems.
  • Monitor and refine pricing models based on real‑world performance and feedback.
  • Enable Openr customers to conduct A/B testing and scenario simulations using our platform to evaluate the impact of pricing strategies.
  • Conduct research with customers & stakeholders and present insights and recommendations in a clear and actionable manner.
  • Train & upskill your peers, sharing best practice and learnings with the wider team.

  • Experience in e‑commerce, SaaS, or a related industry.
  • Familiarity & experience with AWS.
  • Knowledge of statistical modelling and time‑series forecasting.

What Success Looks Like

  • Implementation of pricing algorithms that enable our customers to sustainably grow their revenue through price optimisation without requiring their own data science capability.
  • Building trust in customers to use machine learning and data science in their pricing decisions as a matter of course.
  • Delivery of scalable, high‑performance pricing models that are responsive to real‑time data and adapt seamlessly to changes in market dynamics.
  • Building strong partnerships with product, engineering, sales & customer success teams, and effectively communicating data science recommendations to influence strategic decisions.
  • Demonstrating a commitment to experimentation, learning, and iterative improvement, ensuring pricing models remain cutting‑edge and competitive.
  • Enhanced customer experience and satisfaction through fair and optimised pricing, coupled with stakeholder trust in the reliability of the pricing systems.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
