About the Job

We are a VC-backed startup focused on behavioural AI, currently in stealth. We are building for retail with a focus on Recommendation Systems, Reinforcement Learning and Generative AI. Our platform is designed from the ground up — no legacy, no patchwork systems — just a clean slate and a clear vision. Our mission is to build products that customers love by harnessing cutting-edge AI to transform their shopping experience.

We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist with experience in bringing advanced machine learning and data science systems to production to work with our team of industry leading domain experts and engineers. You'll be working across our entire data science stack, from advanced recommender systems to comprehensive performance analytics.


Key Responsibilities
  • Design and implement scalable machine learning for complex data analysis, optimised recommendations, and predictive modelling.
  • Translate the latest advances in machine learning into impactful solutions and products, from rapid MVPs to fully deployed, production-ready systems.
  • Bring your models to production and optimise for inference in edge computing environments.

Essential Qualifications
  • 3-5+ years implementing advanced data science solutions in a commercial setting.
  • MSc in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or a related field.
  • Experience building data pipelines (real-time or batch) & data quality using modern toolchain (e.g., Apache Spark, Kafka, Airflow, dbt).
  • Strong foundational knowledge of machine learning and deep learning algorithms, including deep neural networks, supervised/unsupervised learning, predictive analysis, and forecasting.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python, with a demonstrated ability to develop and debug production-grade code.

Desired Skills (Bonus Points)
  • Strong practical understanding of retail analytics including consumer segmentations, personalisation systems, campaign effectiveness and media measurement.
  • Experience with recommender systems and/or behavioural AI.

What We Offer
  • Opportunity to build technology that will transform millions of shopping experiences
  • Real ownership and impact in shaping our product and company direction
  • A dynamic and collaborative work environment
  • A chance to work with cutting-edge technologies and solve challenging problems
  • Competitive compensation
  • Equity in a rapidly growing company

If you're an energetic data scientist who thrives in a fast-paced environment and wants to make a real impact on the future of retail, we encourage you to apply.

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.
