We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

* You are a strong Python programmer, proficient in essential libraries (NumPy, Pandas) and a deep-learning framework (TensorFlow/PyTorch).
* You possess a solid grasp of core data science techniques (supervised/unsupervised learning, time-series, NLP, model validation) and the ability to innovate new algorithms.
* You apply a rigorous scientific and entrepreneurial mindset, translating complex business problems into a mathematical framework and measuring model impact upon deployment.
* You are an exceptional communicator, adept at translating complex technical solutions into persuasive, actionable insights for senior and non-technical audiences.
* You contribute to team success by project planning, assessing technical feasibility, estimating delivery timelines, and achieving measurable outcomes.

Our Recruitment Ethos
We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to the world in which we live. We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact. We strongly encourage applications from people of all backgrounds, ethnicities, genders, religions and sexual orientations.
If you don’t feel you meet all the requirements, but are excited by the role and know you bring some key strengths, please don't hesitate in applying as you might be right for this role, or other roles. We are open to conversations about part-time hours.
A note on AI: we're happy for you to use it for research and interview prep, but please don't use it to generate answers during live interviews. We also use an AI note-taker (Metaview) in interviews so interviewers can stay present (which you can opt out of just let us know,) and every application is reviewed by a human, never decided by AI.
