• Use a combination of business acumen, coding and statistical skills to navigate large amounts of data and extract actionable solutions.
• Work cross-functionally on projects that support key business initiatives and drive sustainable growth.

• Experience developing and deploying deep learning models, particularly for sequential data (e.g. time series, language) using techniques such as LSTMs or transformers.
• Hands-on experience with modern Machine/Deep Learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face Transformers.
• Familiarity with both pre-training and fine-tuning of large-scale models.
• Experience working with structured and unstructured data, such as text, logs, or time series and tokenisation techniques.
• A strong understanding of probability, statistics, machine learning and familiarity with large data set manipulation.
• Experience in producing reliable and maintainable code in Python, with an ability to adapt to new languages and technologies.
• Ability to communicate findings to a diverse business focused audience, influencing others in both verbal and written form.
• A drive for continued learning through an internal and external focus, in order to develop enterprise and industry leading solutions.
