Senior Data Scientist

We’re partnering with a global SaaS enterprise that has recently acquired a logistics‐optimisation platform. They’re assembling a specialist project team to build an agentic data connector that integrates the newly acquired product with their existing cloud ecosystem. The mission: create a standalone application capable of auto‐discovering APIs, interpreting schemas, and generating accurate data mappings without manual intervention.

What you’ll work on:

• Build and validate ML models for automated schema understanding, entity recognition, and mapping generation.
• Analyse APIs and data structures from both platforms to identify integration patterns.
• Design experiments and prototypes to improve mapping accuracy and agent decision‐making.
• Collaborate with engineering and product teams to shape agent behaviour and data interpretation logic.
• Contribute to an agent‐first development approach, orchestrating AI tools to solve integration challenges rapidly.

Skills & experience:

• Strong background in DS/ML (NLP, optimisation, or schema‐matching experience is a plus).
• Solid understanding of APIs, data models, and transformation workflows.
• Experience with agentic AI tools (e.g., Claude, agent frameworks).
• Comfortable in a fast‐paced R&D‐driven environment.
• Bonus: exposure to logistics datasets or consultancy experience.

Tech environment:

• GCP
• Python (Django beneficial)
• GraphQL
• React (handled mainly by engineering)

Contract: 6 months (Inside IR35)
