What’s the role?


The Data Scientist role at CAVU is an exciting opportunity to be at the forefront of our data-driven transformation. Sitting within our centralised data team, you’ll act as an internal consultant across multiple business areas, developing models and data products that shape both operational and commercial decisions.


As a key member of the Data Science function, you’ll work closely with specialists in Data Engineering, BI, Analytics, and Data Governance to solve new and exciting problems — from customer personalisation models to forecasting and NLP use cases. You’ll help productionise scalable machine learning pipelines, support automation, and drive continuous improvements in our data science practices.


This is a fantastic opportunity for a curious, solutions-focused data scientist to help build out our capability, working with cutting-edge tools like Databricks, AWS data services, PySpark, and CI/CD pipelines.


What’s in it for you?


You’ll be joining a collaborative, supportive team with a real passion for data-led innovation. It’s a chance to help shape the future of data science at CAVU, contribute to best-in-class products, and see your work directly influence how we serve customers and partners around the world.


If you’re excited about problem-solving, experimenting with new ideas, and delivering real business impact — we’d love to hear from you.
