Heart Mind Talent is proud to partner with a fast-growing, mission-driven startup that is building the future of the energy grid. Their goal is to optimize renewable energy usage, reduce CO₂ emissions, and make electricity greener and more affordable for everyone.

As the energy system evolves at an unprecedented pace, innovative software solutions are critical in the fight for a net-zero future.


This company’s cutting-edge platform leverages machine learning to shift energy consumption to times when electricity is cheapest and cleanest.


Backed by leading investors, they are scaling rapidly to meet this global challenge.


Why Join?

At the intersection of advanced software and real-world energy systems, this company is moving gigawatt-hours of electricity while maintaining the agility of a startup.

With ambitious goals and a world-class team, they are pioneering a new era of smart energy systems.


As aData Scientist, you will:

  • Take full ownership of projects, driving them from concept to deployment.
  • Solve complex problems in renewable energy optimization and data science.
  • Develop machine learning models that drive both commercial success and environmental transformation.


We are seekinginnovative Data Scientistswho:

  • Have 4+ years of experience as a Data Scientist in a startup environment.
  • Have a strong background in data science and machine learning, particularly with time-series data.
  • Have the courage to build and iterate quickly.
  • Prioritize impact over perfection, focusing on real-world applications.
  • Thrive in collaborative, fast-moving teams where every contribution matters.
  • Are passionate about fighting climate change and shaping the future of energy.


Bonus Points If You Have:

  • Knowledge of electricity systems, particularly power trading.
  • Experience engaging with clients and managing stakeholder relationships.
  • Expertise in time-series forecasting models and working with energy data.


Benefits & Culture

  • Hybrid Work Model – Team members are encouraged to spend two to three days per week in the London office to foster collaboration and learning.
  • Inclusive & Mission-Driven – The company is committed to building a diverse, inclusive team and welcomes applicants from all backgrounds, even if they do not meet every listed qualification.
  • Real-World Impact – Your work will contribute directly to decarbonizing the grid and driving the clean energy transition.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
