Senior Data Scientist - National Security (TIRE) based in Cheltenham/H

Senior Data Scientist and Machine Learning Researcher

We are working with Fyxer AI, the UK's fastest-growing tech company in the UK, to hire a Senior Data Scientist.


Fyxer are building the Cursor for email. Since launching in May 2024, they have gone from $0 to $20m in ARR and raised a $30m Series B from top investors. Hiring small numbers of exceptional people, Fyxer’s next vital hire is a Senior Data Scientist who will take on ownership of key predictive modelling.


Job Description

As Fyxer’s Senior Data Scientist, you will not only own the company’s data science and analytics capabilities - you’ll set the roadmap for high-impact business areas like marketing and retention, implement scalable solutions, and ensure stakeholders use data to make confident commercial decisions.


You’ll join a team of 2 Analytics Engineers and a Data Engineer, and will collaborate with the wider engineering team composed of Growth Engineering, Product Engineering, and Product Reliability Engineering.


One example of an immediate priority for the Senior Data Scientist is developing a Churn Prediction Model. There is a huge base of self-serve users generating rich product usage data, and the goal is to identify key churn signals and build a predictive model to surface actionable insights for Sales and Customer Success teams, through a production-ready model or API endpoint that can be easily consumed.


This is a full-time position working in the Holborn, London office, 4+ days per week.


Primary Responsibilities

  • Build and refine predictive models on multi-channel customer and usage data to drive product and marketing decisions
  • Collaborate with engineering, marketing, sales, and product teams to define KPIs, experiment with new algorithms, and surface actionable insights that drive impact
  • Maintain data infrastructure (BigQuery, dbt, Fivetran) and ensure data quality for reporting and self-service analytics
  • Develop a culture of data-driven decision-making and proactively suggest improvements to tools, processes, and architecture


Requirements

  • Exceptional SQL skills and comfortable with Python/R, with considerable experience building and deploying machine-learning models
  • An experienced problem solver with a head for building solutions that have real business impact
  • Experience working at a fast-paced early-stage tech company (<100 people)
  • Have demonstrable experience in transforming messy data into production-ready datasets and can communicate technical findings to non-technical stakeholders


And ideally you…

  • You want to build and have an impact from the ground up
  • You want to have unreasonable ownership of your own world
  • You work hard, with intensity every day & move incredibly quickly
  • You always challenge the systems you’re in to be better


Tech Stack

  • BigQuery
  • GCP
  • Vertex AI
  • Python
  • SQL


Compensation and Benefits

  • Up to £140K base salary + equity
  • Private medical and dental insurance
  • Pension
  • 25 days annual leave
  • The opportunity to build the UK’s fastest-growing AI company with a world-class team


Interview Process

  1. Initial call with Fyxer team (30 mins)
  2. Take-home technical task (60 mins)
  3. Final onsite interview (60 mins)

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
