Hungry for a challenge? 

That’s good, because at Just Eat Takeaway.com (JET) we have abundant opportunity, or, as we say, everything is on the table. We are a leading global online food delivery marketplace. Our tech ecosystem connects millions of active customers with hundreds of thousands of connected partners in countries across the globe.

Our mission? To empower every food moment around the world, whether it’s through customer service, coding or couriers. 

About this role

We are looking for a Data Scientist to join the Insights and Enablement team. This newly established team sits within Retail Media, part of Jet Ventures, and plays a pivotal role in shaping how we use data from our Customer Data Platform (CDP), enabling advanced audience segmentation, data visualisation, dashboards and surfacing insights across Retail Media and the broader JET organisation.

As part of a multidisciplinary, data driven team, you’ll apply coding, statistics, and machine learning to business problems, build models and solutions that drive impact. You’ll work closely with other data scientists, product managers, analysts and engineers to ensure data is reliable, accessible and actionable for product development and analytics.  You’ll also partner with the broader Data & Analytics department, helping scale capabilities across our wider engineering teams.

We’re seeking curious problem-solvers, who are passionate about data, experimentation and emerging technologies in machine learning and AI.

These are some of the key ingredients to the role

Build, test, and deploy machine learning models for audience segmentation, recommendation, targeting, and campaign optimization.

Use statistical methods (e.g. A/B testing, causal inference) to evaluate experiments and business impact.

Develop prototypes and production-ready pipelines using Python, SQL and ML libraries (e.g.. scikit-learn, Pytorch, TensorFlow)

Collaborate with engineers to design and maintain scalable data pipelines and ML workflows, ensuring robust model deployment and monitoring.

Monitor and evaluate model performance, addressing data quality, drift and reliability issues.

Contribute to shared tools, documentation and best practices in the wider data science and engineering community at JET.

What will you bring to the table?

Hands-on experience applying ML and statistical techniques to real-world data problems.

Strong coding skills in Python and ML libraries (e.g. Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow,) 

Understanding of feature engineering, data mining, and ML techniques – ideally in audience segmentation or personalisation.

Familiarity with ML pipeline tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, or similar) and version control (Git).

Skills at Navigating ambiguity and turning complex, messy data into actionable insights.

Proficiency in SQL and navigating large scale data lakes and warehouses (e.g. Google BigQuery, Redshift).

A collaborative mindset, eager to learn and share knowledge with peers.

Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP is a plus!

At JET, this is on the menu: 

Our teams forge connections internally and work with some of the best-known brands on the planet, giving us truly international impact in a dynamic environment. 

Fun, fast-paced and supportive, the JET culture is about movement, growth and about celebrating every aspect of our JETers. Thanks to them we stay one step ahead of the competition.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
