Come and change the world of AI with the Kumo team!
Companies spend millions of dollars to store terabytes of data in
data lakehouses, but only leverage a fraction of it for predictive
tasks. This is because traditional machine learning is slow and
time consuming, taking months to perform feature engineering, build
training pipelines, and achieve acceptable performance. At Kumo, we
are building a machine learning platform for data lakehouses,
enabling data scientists to train powerful Graph Neural Net models
directly on their relational data, with only a few lines of
declarative syntax known as Predictive Query Language. The Kumo
platform enables users to build models a dozen times faster, and
achieve better model accuracy than traditional approaches. As a
Data Scientist in London, you will be a technical liaison for
Kumo’s customers and prospects in the UK region. Your objective is
to discover the technical needs of customers and showcase how Kumo
can address them (or explain why you think it won’t). With this
information, you will craft and tell a story of how Kumo can
deliver value to their organization. Together with the customer and
Account Manager, you will put together a plan to solve the
customer’s machine learning problems using Kumo. You will leverage
your industry knowledge and data science expertise to help the
customer craft the solution architecture and machine learning
approach for their use cases, and guide them to achieve technical
wins. You will maintain relationships with technical champions,
ensuring continued success of existing models as well as expansion
to new use cases. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with
deep expertise in machine learning and passion for data science to
grow into a confident leader within a dynamic and innovative
environment. The Value You Will Add: - Be a Kumo platform superuser

  • understand the product in and out and how it should be used to
    solve customer problems. - Lead the technical discovery to
    understand the alignment between what Kumo offers and prospective
    customer expectations. - Conduct product demos of Kumo solving ML
    problems in a variety of verticals, including finance/fraud,
    growth/marketing, personalization/commerce, and
    forecasting/optimization. - Guide the customer to achieve
    meaningful wins on high-impact ML problems, by leveraging your
    problem-solving skills, data science knowledge, and industry
    experience. - Be hands-on, to help customers overcome challenges
    they may encounter in achieving sufficient model performance, or
    integrating Kumo into their production systems. - Lead architecture
    reviews and security assessments. - Maintain meaningful
    relationships with technical influencers and champions within ML
    teams, both pre and post-sale. - Educate current Kumo users on how
    to successfully use our product, best practices, etc. so that they
    increase usage across a larger number of internal workloads. -
    Provide market and customer feedback to the Product and Engineering
    team to refine feature specifications and the product roadmap. -
    Create broader processes for each customer to go through to ensure
    we can drive repeatable successes in PoCs. - Generate Kumo platform
    educational materials to disseminate amongst current users or
    prospects. Your Foundation: - Someone who finds genuine
    satisfaction in solving customer ML problems and helping them
    deliver value to the business. - 5+ years of relevant professional
    experience working with external customers in deploying AI/ML/data
    science solutions in production for customers. - Proficiency with
    ML and data science fundamentals, at the level of a
    bachelors/graduate program. - Persuasive communication – ability to
    present, speak, demo well to customer stakeholders and convince
    them to partner with Kumo! - Self-starter, motivated, resourceful
    and persistent: demonstrated ability to structure complex problems,
    take the initiative, and identify creative solutions to deliver
    outcomes in the face of obstacles. - Knowledge of common data
    science tools around SQL-based data warehousing (e.g., Snowflake,
    Databricks, DBT), BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker), workflow
    orchestration, and ML Ops. - Excellent spoken and written English
    skills. - Fluency with scripting in Python. - Ability to work
    effectively across time zones. Teammates will be located from PT to
    CET time zones. Customers will be in GMT/CET, while occasionally as
    far as SGT. ------------------------- Benefits: - Stock -

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.
