Junior Data Scientists (x3) – Theoretical AI & Creative Problem Solving

We’re hiring three Junior Data Scientists with strong academic grounding in AI and a real flair for thinking differently. You’ll be working on AI problems where fresh thinking and outside-the-box creativity are as important as technical skill.

We’re not just looking for coders — we want original thinkers who are curious, analytical, and confident enough to challenge assumptions, but who also thrive in quiet focus and collaborative dialogue. You're likely neither highly introverted nor the loudest in the room — just sharp, engaged, and grounded.

You’ll likely bring:

• ~2 years of experience in data science or machine learning
• A strong Master’s or PhD in Maths, AI, or Computer Science
• Excellent theoretical grounding in AI/ML
• Creativity in model design and problem-solving
• Proficiency in Python (Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow)
• Bonus: fluent in German, French, or Spanish

Role Highlights:

• £80,000–£100,000 salary plus bonus (depending on experience)
• UK-based | Remote-first with occasional European travel
• Flexible, research-focused environment
• Opportunity to contribute to novel AI projects from day one
• Supportive team that values deep thinking and clear communication

We value diversity of thought, background, and approach.
