Applied Scientist

About this role

We're looking for an Applied Scientist to join the team – whose mission is to build machine learning capabilities that power better decisions, experiences and outcomes across ASOS. You'll work on challenging real-world machine learning problems, developing scalable models and intelligent systems that support a range of business domains. As an Applied Scientist, you'll work alongside data engineers, ML engineers, analysts, product managers and business stakeholders to design, develop and deploy machine learning solutions at scale.

You'll have the opportunity to influence both the scientific direction of our ML capabilities and the products they enable. Key Responsibilities Design, develop and deploy machine learning models and data-driven solutions in production environments. Apply machine learning and optimisation techniques to solve complex business problems. Partner with engineers to productionise models and build reliable, scalable ML systems.

Design and analyse experiments and evaluation frameworks to measure model performance and business impact. Explore, evaluate and prototype new approaches from both industry and academia. Work closely with product and business stakeholders to identify opportunities where machine learning can create value. Contribute to the team's technical and scientific direction through knowledge sharing, code reviews and collaboration.

Help shape best practices in machine learning, experimentation and applied research across the organisation. About You You'll enjoy applying machine learning to large-scale, real-world challenges and translating research into production systems that deliver measurable impact. We'd be particularly interested in candidates who bring experience in some of the following areas: Developing and deploying machine learning models in production environments.

Applying statistics, analytics and machine learning techniques to solve complex business problems. Experience in one or more of the following areas: Developing and applying machine learning solutions to solve complex business problems. Building predictive models, intelligent systems or decision-support capabilities using large-scale data. Translating research, experimentation and analytical insights into production-ready solutions.
