Senior Data Scientist

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)

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
