This role is for a Sr Data Scientist to join our amazing Data Science team. We create state of the art algorithms and tools to help the business grow and impact the online travel market.

The team focuses on four main pillars: impact, innovation, transparency and collaboration. Everything we do should have measurable business impact.

The focus of our team is not providing insight for executives to make decisions, rather working on innovative algorithms and models that make intelligent, automated, decisions in real time, billions of times a day. To achieve that we collaborate with the analytics, sales, product and technology teams.

In this role, you'll be our 007 agent and you'll also be creating thousands of artificial intelligent agents at the same time.

For the Senior Data Scientist role you need to be:

- You'll dive into cutting edge machine learning models, experiment and apply new ones, and apply analytics at scale in order to impact the business. Use the latest cloud and data technologies to train and deploy machine learning models at scale. If you can prove your approaches are good, they'll be quickly deployed to production.

- You're passionate about asking and answering questions in large datasets, and you are able to communicate that passion.

- You have a keen desire to solve problems, and live to find patterns and insights within structured and unstructured data.

- You propose analytics strategies and solutions that challenge and expand the thinking of everyone around you.

- You're looking for a role with diverse learning opportunities, growing and having fun while at it. You’re expected to keep abreast of the latest data science industry developments and coach the team on them.

- Be enthusiastic in collaborating, developing relationships within the company, and finding new business applications of data science and coaching more junior team members.

About us:

- We're re-inventing online travel, one day at a time - it's an exciting challenge. We're super-motivated and setting the pace.

- We've got the scope and the freedom to make a difference. We don't do ordinary.

- We work with some really smart partners - from search marketing whiz kids to the world's leading airlines and travel agents.

- We're a team of passionate, hard-working travel enthusiasts. We just love what we do.

- We define the questions, not the answers, for an industry that changes every day. Isn't that cool?

- We love to participate in data science conferences and communities

- We want everyone on our team to have the resources to succeed in their career

- We get to do all of this in a really nice office in central London.
