Why should I apply?

This is an opportunity to work inside a genuinely high growth business on a clear path to IPO, where data science directly shapes the core product. You will be working on problems at real scale, using modern AWS tooling, with ownership across the full machine learning lifecycle. The role offers exposure to senior leadership, meaningful technical influence, and the credibility of being part of a market defining company before it goes public. Combined with competitive compensation, flexible working, and a strong data culture, this is a compelling contract opportunity.
