- Apply machine learning and LLMs to solve practical, customer-facing problems
- Work with complex and imperfect datasets to identify opportunities and develop solutions
- Take ideas from early exploration through validation and into production
- Partner closely with engineers and product teams to turn models and analysis into working product features
- Design experiments and measurement approaches to understand whether what you build is delivering real value
- Analyse model and feature performance once deployed and iterate based on what you learn
- Translate ambiguous customer or business problems into practical technical solutions
- Communicate your thinking and results clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
Skills
- Strong experience using Python and SQL to work with real-world data

- Experience taking ML or data science work beyond experimentation and into production
- Hands-on experience with LLMs and/or applying them to practical problems

- Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work through ambiguous problems without needing everything defined upfront
- The ability to understand the commercial or customer problem behind the technical challenge
- A pragmatic, hands-on approach - you're comfortable getting stuck into the data, building something, testing it and figuring out what needs to happen next
- The ability to work closely with engineers and product teams to actually ship what you build
- Experience working in a start-up or other environment where priorities move quickly and you have significant ownership
- Experience working directly with customers or customer-facing teams
