Everyone needs to know who they are doing business with. It’s a sector independent, globally addressable problem, for which we have built a unique software solution.

Using Natural Language Processing, AI and huge scale cloud infrastructure, we are automating the slow, imprecise and painstaking process of internet research.

Our SAAS solution, locates, assimilates and distils trillions of fragments of online information in the time it takes to grab a coffee, enabling our users to understand the reputational conduct of any organisation or individual they are engaging with.

This depth and quality of information has historically only been possible using expensive and time-consuming human investigation. We provide the users of our platform with fast, cost-effective and deep insight, as a service, in minutes, saving them weeks and helping them to secure against diverse risks to their business.

We deliver daily insight to major financial institutions, industry regulators, charities and commercial organisations.

We are a fast-growing, dynamic team, rewarding bright minds with hard problems.

We are looking for a detail-focussed Applied Research Engineer to help develop the next generation of the brain of our system - Entity Resolution.

This will involve developing algorithms, working with large datasets, testing, refining and comparing results between models, and enhancing our resolution toolsets.

• You will be working closely with our product team to ensure our statistical models capture their domain knowledge and expertise appropriately, as well as analysing the algorithms to improve performance. 

You need to have:

We are unable to sponsor visas - applicants must have the right to work in the UK. 

We are currently working flexibly across remote + a set of high-end WeWork offices. We like this approach, as not only does it mean you can bring your pets to work, but it also means there’s always a buzz in the office and the opportunity to drink great coffee and meet new people.
