About the role

Senior Forward Deployed Scientist in UiPath’s Supply Chain & Retail business, focusing on applying ML, forecasting, optimisation, and agentic AI to real-world customer problems, owning end-to-end engagements and shaping product direction through frontline learnings.

Responsibilities

  • Own customer engagements end-to-end — frame the problem, build the solution, and drive it to real commercial impact, working directly alongside customer teams.
  • Apply and adapt frontier ML, forecasting, and optimisation techniques — and increasingly agentic AI — to problems that don’t have a textbook answer.
  • Turn what works on the ground into product direction, so each engagement makes our core capability better for the next customer.
  • Operate with genuine autonomy across a wide range of stakeholders — from data scientists to customer executives — and make the judgment calls that get things shipped.
  • Stay at the edge of what’s possible in applied AI, and bring it back to the team.

Qualifications

  • Strong track record applying ML / data science to real-world commercial problems, ideally with depth in forecasting, optimisation, or supply-chain / pricing.
  • The instinct to own outcomes, not tasks — you take an ambiguous problem and drive it to a result rather than waiting to be told the next step.
  • Fluent programming (Python and SQL) and the ability to pick up whatever a problem demands.
  • Excellent communication — you can take a customer executive from confusion to confidence, and explain a complex model to a non-technical room.
  • Comfort with ambiguity, direct customer contact, and the pace of a team that ships.
  • Bonus: experience with agentic / LLM-based systems, or building ML in production.
