At Kortical we are on a mission to enable any company to be an AI company by providing world class tooling to enable data scientists to deliver superhuman ML solutions much quicker than than current offerings allow, all fully transparent and editable in code. Remote working: Flexible remote (up to 4 days p/w) At Kortical we are on a mission to enable any company to be an AI company by providing world class tooling to enable data scientists to deliver superhuman ML solutions much quicker than than current offerings allow, all fully transparent and editable in code. The role has two elements to it: As not every company or department have in-house data scientists, for some clients we build awesome ML solutions for our clients like Deloitte Tax, NHS and Santander using the Kortical platform. By working with our clients building these awesome ML solutions, we find areas that would make our life better as data scientists and encode those features into the platform, editing features and seeing the result before building a model, monitoring data drift, easy deployment etc Across all our projects, we've managed to keep a 100% track record of success, improving on the current state of the art in every business we've done ML projects for, across a very broad range of industries. To keep this record we've created our own agile data-science delivery process and are always actively looking to improve on it. We also focus on cross training each other, so we can all share best practice approaches across a wide range of problems and industries as we solve more problems and we love a challenge. To be successful in this role you need to be a quick learner, being able to understand new businesses after a brief introduction and see how ML could add value is a regular part of the job. While also being able to bring a broad knowledge of the state of the art in problem solving using AI / ML. The ideal candidate would be a practical data scientist that has experience in solving real world problems with AI. Ideally you have a consulting background so can navigate different stakeholders easily, enthuse others on the benefit of the project and find new opportunities as they get a deeper understanding of the business. Skills required: You will have delivered AI/ML solutions that are deployed. Been through the pain of messy data, building features and iterating until a great ML model was created. Have experience on working across different AI/ML problems Worked with external clients in the past or happy to work with external clients, discussing their data, what the metrics are and presenting the results in a digestible manner Great at self project management, data science is just that, a science but there is a skill to be able to contain the experimentation and focus until meaningful results In terms of skills we're looking for a candidate with one or more of: Python A flare for visualisations NLP Big data architectures Spark ML Knowledge of novel DNN architectures GANs ML Vision About Kortical Just as every company is now a tech company, they will also have to be an AI company to survive. Currently 85% of ML projects fail and we are on a mission to turn that statistic upside down! Google, AWS, Azure are all essentially a box of tools, and you need a strong multi-skilled team to assemble a fully scalable ML solution. Then there are those platforms that are like ready made family saloon cars, not customisable and not everyone's first choice of car. At Kortical we believe in having the best of both worlds, a ready made sports car that is fully transparent and customisable. Our approach is to make a platform that is editable in code and accelerates the creation of ML solutions from years to weeks, all while delivering Superhuman AI results. And big names like the NHS, BT and Deloitte have seen awesome results from using Kortical. We are a fast growing brand and have been listed as one of the top 20 hottest AI start-ups in the UK by PWC (Oct 21) and have won innovation awards from the FCA and Awards.ai. While we are profitable, we are looking to raise another round of funding Q1 2022 to build the team and accelerate our growth faster. Requirements: It's not purely about technical proficiency and we place a big emphasis on team. Pandemic aside, we often go out for a drink together (soft or hard, it is about the conversation), we do team lunches on the company every two weeks and also do quarterly "Mandatory Fun Days" where we vote on an activity and celebrate the successes afterwards. On the softer skills side, the person we're looking for should: Take pride in producing great work and seeing it through to completion Be approachable and enjoy helping others Enjoy being part of a team doing something cool Have a passion for complex problem solving Believe that the best idea should win and be objective about collaborative design Company Benefits Medical Insurance Pension Flexi-working Share Options - we want everyone to share in the success of this start-up Interview Process Call, test, interview with founders & offer!

Come and change the world of AI with the Kumo team! Companies spend millions of dollars to store terabytes of data in data lakehouses, but only leverage a fraction of it for predictive tasks. This is because traditional machine learning is slow and time consuming, taking months to perform feature engineering, build training pipelines, and achieve acceptable performance. At Kumo, we are building a machine learning platform for data lakehouses, enabling data scientists to train powerful Graph Neural Net models directly on their relational data, with only a few lines of declarative syntax known as Predictive Query Language. The Kumo platform enables users to build models a dozen times faster, and achieve better model accuracy than traditional approaches. As a Data Scientist for EMEA, you will be a technical liaison for Kumo's customers and prospects in the EMEA region. Your objective is to discover the technical needs of customers and showcase how Kumo can address them (or explain why you think it won't). With this information, you will craft and tell a story of how Kumo can deliver value to their organization. Together with the customer and Account Manager, you will put together a plan to solve the customer's machine learning problems using Kumo. You will leverage your industry knowledge and data science expertise to help the customer craft the solution architecture and machine learning approach for their use cases, and guide them to achieve technical wins. You will maintain relationships with technical champions, ensuring continued success of existing models as well as expansion to new use cases. This is a fantastic opportunity for someone with deep expertise in machine learning and a passion for data science to grow into a confident leader within a dynamic and innovative environment. The Value You Will Add: Be a Kumo platform superuser - understand the product in and out and how it should be used to solve customer problems. Lead the technical discovery to understand the alignment between what Kumo offers and prospective customer expectations. Conduct product demos of Kumo solving ML problems in a variety of verticals, including finance/fraud, growth/marketing, personalization/commerce, and forecasting/optimization. Guide the customer to achieve meaningful wins on high-impact ML problems, by leveraging your problem-solving skills, data science knowledge, and industry experience. Be hands-on, to help customers overcome challenges they may encounter in achieving sufficient model performance, or integrating Kumo into their production systems. Lead architecture reviews and security assessments. Maintain meaningful relationships with technical influencers and champions within ML teams, both pre and post-sale. Educate current Kumo users on how to successfully use our product, best practices, etc. so that they increase usage across a larger and larger number of internal workloads. Provide market and customer feedback to the Product and Engineering team to refine feature specifications and the product roadmap. Create broader processes for each customer to go through to ensure we can drive repeatable successes in PoCs. Generate Kumo platform educational materials to disseminate amongst current users or prospects. Your Foundation: Someone who finds genuine satisfaction in solving customer ML problems and helping them deliver value to the business. 5+ years of relevant professional experience working with external customers in deploying AI/ML/data science solutions in production for customers. Proficiency with ML and data science fundamentals, at the level of a bachelor's/graduate program. Persuasive communication - ability to present, speak, demo well to customer stakeholders and convince them to partner with Kumo! Self-starter, motivated, resourceful and persistent: demonstrated ability to structure complex problems, take the initiative, and identify creative solutions to deliver outcomes in the face of obstacles. Knowledge of common data science tools around SQL-based data warehousing (e.g., Snowflake, Databricks, DBT), BI tools (e.g., Tableau, Looker), workflow orchestration, and ML Ops. Excellent spoken and written English skills. Fluency with scripting in Python. Ability to work effectively across time zones. Teammates will be located from PT to CET time zones. Customers will be in GMT/CET, while occasionally as far as SGT.
