Actively hiring Posted about 12 hours ago

Role overview

We are looking for an early- to mid-career professional with strong analytical foundations.

Your background

  • M.Sc. or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or similar
  • ~1–5 years of experience working with ML/statistical models
  • Strong skills in modelling, mathematics, and problem formulation
  • You have had experience with designing, training and implementing of predictive models or optimisation algorithms in a production environment

Your strengths

  • You enjoy turning messy real-world problems into structured models
  • You are comfortable working across ML, statistics, and optimisation
  • You are curious about LLMs and modern AI — but not driven by hype
  • You can prototype solutions in Python and collaborate with engineers on production

For this position, we value strong analytical thinking and modelling ability more than deep software engineering expertise.

We think the strongest teams are built on diversity and inclusivity. Contrasting opinions, varied skills, and strong characters bring out the best in us all. And we cannot wait for you to join.
