• Partner with engineers to productionise models and ensure performance, reliability, and scalability
• Monitor, evaluate, and continuously improve model performance in live environments
• Communicate findings, trade-offs, and recommendations clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Required Skills & Experience

• 1-3 years of commercial experience in a Data Science role
• Strong foundation in statistics, probability, and experimental thinking
• Proficiency in SQL and Python or R for data analysis and modelling
• Hands-on experience deploying machine learning models into production environments
• Ability to work across the full model lifecycle, from data exploration to live deployment
• Strong problem-solving skills with a commercial, outcome-driven mindset

What’s on Offer

• The chance to work on real-time machine learning problems, not static reporting or offline analysis
• A small, collaborative team environment with full ownership and visible impact
• Exposure to high-scale, high-availability ML systems in a fast-moving start-up
