Overview

We\'re hiring data scientists who get into the weeds, ship delightful software, and want to step into the arena in the fight against climate change.

We\'re building the software infrastructure for the decarbonised energy system, backed by some of the best investors in the world (TechCrunch).

We make the technology to move energy usage to times when electricity is cheap and green. Our software controls vehicle charging, heating systems, and home batteries. We use machine learning to figure out what energy people will need, and when they\'ll need it. We control tens of thousands of energy assets, and we\'re growing quickly.

Read more about what we\'re building here.

Requirements

You can expect:

  • insane amounts of ownership
  • hard technical challenges
  • that what you build is commercially and environmentally valuable

In return, we ask for:

  • the courage to build new things fast
  • a commitment to real world impact over technical perfection
  • a desire to help build and lead an exceptional and tight knit team
  • deep-seated motivation to combat climate change

And it\'d be nice if you could bring:

  • knowledge of the electricity system, specifically power trading
  • comfort speaking to clients (we\'re a small team and we all wear many hats)
  • familiarity with time-series data

You shouldn\'t apply if:

  • uncertainty scares you
  • you aren\'t prepared to try, fail, and try again
  • you\'re looking for a low intensity, low impact role
Interview process
  1. Initial interview
  2. Take-home exercise
  3. Final interview (in-person)
  4. Offer, references, and welcome to the team!
Tech stack

We do everything in Python, because it allows data scientists and engineers to collaborate closely and move quickly. Our data scientists write lots of production code. We Streamlit.

We try a bunch of things in Figma before we build them in code, because it\'s a fast and cheap way to get feedback.

Everything we build lives in Docker, for minimal cross-platform faff and maximal reproducibility.

We deploy on GCP

Benefits

We love the idea of fully remote work but it doesn\'t... work. For very early stage companies, people learn faster, get on better, and accomplish more when they\'re spending a decent chunk of time together. We ask that you spend 2-3 days a week in our London office.

We are extremely keen to build a diverse company, and we\'re particularly eager to hear from candidates who don\'t fit the traditional engineering stereotypes. If you\'re motivated by our mission, please do reach out, even if you feel you might not \'check all the boxes\'.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.
