About Intent HQ
Our mission is to help organisations have more genuine relationships with their customers by using data and machine learning to understand them on a human level and enable marketing personalisation at scale. We’re a well-funded scale-up business, having raised £30m from several notable PE investors. We’ve had an initial focus in the telecommunications sector, landing some of the world’s leading telecoms brands including Verizon and O2.
Our clients typically have tens of millions of customers and billions of interaction events each day. We have developed our platform to handle data at this enormous scale efficiently. Intent HQ is unique because we’ve focused on understanding customer interaction data. We do the hard-specialised work leaving our clients free to focus on integrating the insight into their business, with one Client seeing an additional £26m annual revenue as a result of using our products and services.
Intent HQ is an exciting place to work, we are very proud to have made our debut on the FT1000 Fastest Growing Companies in Europe for 2022! We have a talented team of circa 100 -people (and growing!), with entities in London, Barcelona, Lisbon and New York and collectively speak over 15 languages!

Our Culture
Working for Intent HQ, you have the opportunity to work with cutting edge technology in an environment where you are encouraged to think and act outside traditional methods. We are a growing business with a flat structure meaning everyone is visible and able to make an impact, not just in their own role, but across the business on a daily basis. We promote a collaborative, innovative and sociable culture, oriented towards performance and competitive advantage. Our DNA is made up of flexibility to all staff with a family friendly approach and focus on personal development. We have high expectations and pride ourselves on our cultural standards.
The Opportunity:
As a Principal Data Scientist at Intent HQ, you will be responsible for developing technologies that enable ML with strong privacy guarantees, such as Private Federated Learning (PFL). Your valuable work will contribute to industry-leading technologies, making them mainstream and accessible to IHQ partners for customer analytics.
You will impact the lives of millions of data owners worldwide and fulfil our mission to uphold user privacy to a high standard.
You will help bridge the gap between fast-evolving research and practice in Data Anonymisation, Differential Privacy and Private Federated Learning, by incorporating algorithms into efficient implementations – with experimentation and prototyping. In this process you will collaborate with ML Engineers from other product teams, helping with modelling for their use case using our framework and in turn enhancing the experience of hundreds of millions of users, all while preserving their privacy.
You will review designs and code by others and provide constructive feedback. You will share your expertise and mentor others, while continuously learning from colleagues. If this is you, we’d love to hear from you!
As a Principal Data Scientist reporting to a Senior Director, you’ll inspire our product roadmap and you’ll deliver against an innovation roadmap you’ve helped to create. We are a collaborative team and you’ll lead and mentor junior members by supervising their work and supporting QA.
Skills and experience:
- 5+ years experience as a Data Scientist delivering machine learning models and insights.
- Research or commercial experience with GDPR and privacy preserving machine learning techniques, such as differential privacy, private federated learning, synthetic data generation or data anonymisation
- Production-level coding proficiency using Python including feature engineering and model development and evaluation
- Solid theoretical knowledge of ML with differential privacy, synthetic data creation, and/or federated learning, with the ability to review and apply the latest research in these areas.
- Comfortable working with business and technical stakeholders to translate business goals into data science capabilities and evaluation metrics
- Continuous delivery of robust data science capabilities into production using Agile frameworks (e.g. git, scrum, model monitoring)
- Experience with Big Data and Distributed Compute to analyse, explore and exploit very large datasets (Pyspark or Scala)
