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 aData Scientistin London, you will be a technical liaison for Kumo’s customers and prospects in the UK 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 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 delivervalueto the business.
  • 5+ years of relevant professional experienceworking 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 bachelors/graduate program.
  • Persuasive communication – ability to present, speak, demo well to customer stakeholders and convince them to partner with Kumo!
  • Self-starter, motivative, 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 (eg. Snowflake, Databricks, DBT), BI tools (eg. Tableau, Looker), workflow orchestration, and ML Ops.
  • Excellent spoken and writtenEnglishskills.
  • Fluency with scripting inPython.
  • 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.

How to Get a Better Data Science Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy can be tough to face, especially in a competitive field like data science. But it’s important to know: your experience, analytical thinking, and modelling skills are still in demand. Across sectors like healthcare, finance, e-commerce, government and AI startups, UK employers continue to seek data scientists who can deliver value through insight, prediction, and automation. This guide will walk you through how to bounce back from redundancy with purpose and clarity—whether you're a data analyst looking to step up, a mid-level data scientist, or a machine learning specialist seeking a better-aligned opportunity.

Data Science Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Find Out What You Should Earn in the UK

Why last year’s pay survey is already out of date for UK data scientists “Am I being paid enough?” Every data professional eventually asks that question—often after a teammate reveals a hefty counter‑offer, a recruiter shares a six‑figure opening, or a headline trumpets the latest multimillion‑pound AI investment. Yet salary guides published even twelve months ago belong in a museum. Generative‑AI hype re‑priced Machine‑Learning Engineer roles, LLM fine‑tuning turned Prompt Engineering into a genuine career path, & fresh regulation forced companies to hire Responsible‑AI Officers on senior‑scientist money. To cut through the noise, DataScience‑Jobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula. Insert your role, your region, & your seniority, and you’ll get a realistic 2025 salary benchmark—no stale averages, no vague ranges. This article walks you through the formula, examines the forces pushing data‑science pay ever higher, and offers five concrete actions to boost your market value within ninety days.

How to Present Data Science Solutions to Non-Technical Audiences: A Public Speaking Guide for Job Seekers

The ability to communicate clearly is now just as important as knowing how to build a predictive model or fine-tune a neural network. In fact, many UK data science job interviews are now designed to test your ability to explain your work to non-technical audiences—not just your technical competence. Whether you’re applying for your first data science role or moving into a lead or consultancy position, this guide will show you how to structure your presentation, simplify technical content, design effective visuals, and confidently answer stakeholder questions.
