Lead Data Scientist

We're hiring for an AI-for-good startup based in London that's reimagining the future of renewable energy in the UK.


Fresh off a £10M+ Series A round in April 2024, they’re using cutting-edge AI to connect users directly with renewable energy generators making clean energy more accessible, efficient, and impactful. With an eye toward a Series B raise in late 2025 or early 2026, they're building out their team to support ambitious growth and deeper market penetration.


The Role


They’re looking for aLead Data Scientistto architect a next-generation, deep learning-based time series forecasting engine. This engine will sit at the core of their dynamic energy marketplace, shaping critical decisions across pricing, risk, and broader commercial strategy.


This is a high-impact, high-ownership role with clear leadership opportunities. As the company scales, the data science function will grow under your guidance. You’ll work closely with a team of 16 engineers who’ll handle data prep- freeing you up to focus on advanced modeling and experimentation.


What You’ll Do


  • Design and build robust long-term forecasting models using deep learning techniques (LSTMs, RGUs, deep fusion models), though strong statistical or machine learning backgrounds are also welcome.
  • 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


  • Fully remote or London-based (small office space available).
  • 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.
  • Competitive compensation.
  • ... and more, as the company grows.

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.
