Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it’s through customer service, coding or couriers.

About this role

We are looking for Data Scientists to join the Insights and Enablement team. This newly established team sits within Retail Media, part of Jet Ventures, and plays a pivotal role in shaping how we use data from our Customer Data Platform (CDP), enabling advanced audience segmentation, data visualisation, dashboards and surfacing insights across Retail Media and the broader JET organisation.

This is not a typical Data Scientist, as part of a multidisciplinary, data driven team, you’ll be responsible for exploring new methods in machine learning, statistics, casual interference; prototyping and validating novel algorithms; and work closely with other data scientists, product managers, analysts and engineers to ensure data is reliable, accessible and actionable for product development and analytics. You’ll also partner with the broader Data & Analytics department, helping scale capabilities across our wider engineering teams.

We’re seeking self starters, who are passionate about data, experimentation and emerging technologies in machine learning and AI.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role
  • Lead and conduct research into advanced ML / AI methods, causal inference,(i.e. A / B Testing) and experimental design, applied to Retail Media challenges.
  • Prototype and evaluate algorithms for audience segmentation, recommendation, targeting, and campaign optimization.
  • Collaborating with data and ML engineers to design and maintain scalable data pipelines and ML workflows, ensuring robust model deployment and monitoring.
  • Identify and address critical gaps in data quality, model performance and pipeline reliability.
  • Mentor and support fellow data scientists, fostering a culture of collaboration and technical excellence.
  • Shape and implement data strategies that enable experimentation, audience segmentation and performance analytics.
  • Champion best practices in data science and ML, contributing to the wider data science and engineering community at JET.
What will you bring to the table?
  • Proven experience as a research-focused data scientist, with a track record of applying ML, AI, or statistical methods to complex, real-world problems and building and deployment of these models into production.
  • Strong background in machine learning, causal inference, experimentation, or recommendation systems .
  • Demonstrated ability to bridge theoretical depth with practical impact , knowing when to experiment and when to deliver.
  • Deep understanding of data mining, feature engineering and ML techniques - especially in audience segmentation or personalisation .
  • Clear and effective communication skills, with the ability to tailor insights for both technical and non technical stakeholders.
  • Strong analytical rigor in evaluating models, experiments and algorithmic changes using offline and online methods.
  • Skilled at navigating ambiguity and t urning complex, messy data into actionable insights.
  • Proficiency in SQL and navigating large scale data lakes and warehouses (e.g. Google BigQuery, Redshift).
  • Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP is a plus!
At JET, this is on the menu :

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment.

Fun, fast-paced and supportive, the JET culture is about movement, growth and about celebrating every aspect of our JETers. Thanks to them we stay one step ahead of the competition.

Inclusion, Diversity & Belonging

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

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.
