Senior Data Scientist

Senior Data Scientist

Remote (UK) Occasional Travel to London Full time

Salary: up to £95,000

We're working with a business that are building an AI powered platform that helps brands activate their happiest customers through intelligent referral journeys, reward automation, and predictive modelling. As we expand our generative AI and experimentation capabilities, we're hiring a full stack Senior Data Scientist who loves solving ambiguous problems, prototyping fast, and turning data into meaningful product experiences.

What You'll Work On

In this role, you'll be hands on across the full data science lifecycle-from idea to prototype to production. If you enjoy wearing multiple hats and working in fast moving, high growth environments, you'll thrive here.

You'll work on projects such as:

• Prototyping generative AI applications and scalable LLM powered tools
• Designing and running experiments and A/B tests to validate new ideas
• Conducting consumer behaviour and segmentation research
• Developing causal models to understand the drivers of customer advocacy and business growth
• Building "imperfect," rapid prototypes to explore product market fit

This is a Senior IC role-ideal for someone who wants to stay hands on and move fast.

What We're Looking For

We're looking for a generalist, not a narrow specialist-someone comfortable with modelling, experimentation, prototyping, and cross functional collaboration.

You're a great fit if you:

• Have strong experience with ML and generative AI/LLM development
• Love rapid experimentation and hypothesis driven prototyping
• Are comfortable operating in uncertainty and evolving problem spaces
• Have startup, scaleup, or high growth experience
• Can manage multiple projects and context switch easily
• Communicate clearly with both technical and non technical audiences
• Bring an entrepreneurial mindset and enjoy turning data into product value

Nice to have

• E commerce or consumer behaviour experience (e.g., rapid growth environments)
• Familiarity with GANs, VAEs, causal inference, or rapid prototyping frameworks
• Non linear or multidisciplinary career paths

Why Join

• Work on cutting edge AI innovation: LLMs, generative AI, behavioural modelling, causal inference
• Shape new product capabilities in a fast growing category
• Move quickly, experiment often, and influence product direction
• Join a curious, collaborative team that values creativity and learning
• Remote first flexibility, with occasional in person collaboration in London
