- Take a contextual approach to forecasting, with a focus on intelligent modeling over data wrangling (datasets are already clean and accessible).
- Prepare for a potential future shift toward short-term forecasting as the platform evolves, though long-term remains the current priority.
- Mentor and support junior data scientists as the team expands.
What You'll Need To Bring
- 8 to 11 years of experience working with time series forecasting; long-term forecasting is a plus, but strong short-term expertise is also valuable.
- Proven track record using deep learning for time series forecasting.
- Comfortable collaborating across teams and clearly communicating complex ideas.
- Experienced in mentoring junior team members.
- Nice to have: background in startups or small, fast-moving teams.
- Nice to have: product-focused mindset and familiarity with the energy sector or pricing models.
What They Offer

- Flexible working with core hours from 10 AM to 4 PM UK time.
- Mission-driven, collaborative culture with strong team values.
- Wellbeing allowance and two fully-paid company retreats each year.
