The goal is a privacy-preserving generative AI ecosystem that protects personal and sensitive data by design, through data residency, anonymisation, secure deployment, and privacy techniques that hold up at both training and inference time. \n \n As a Senior Machine Learning Scientist, you'll take technical ownership of research workstreams within CODAS. Rather than just executing a brief, you'll set the experimental direction yourself and push approaches like differential privacy, federated learning, and secure inference beyond what's already out there. \n \n What you'll do \n\n • Own the technical direction of assigned CODAS research tracks, from framing the problem to validating the results.\n, • Design and build ML approaches for privacy-preserving generative AI, including differential privacy, federated learning, secure inference, and related techniques.\n, • Turn research into proof-of-concept systems and deployable components that feed directly into programme deliverables.\n, • Publish, contributing to papers, technical reports, and conference talks that put the Lab's work in front of the wider AI community.\n, • Mentor other ML scientists and research associates working alongside you on the programme.\n, • Work directly with partner organisations to understand real technical constraints, not just theoretical ones.\n\n \n What you'll bring \n\n • A Master's or PhD in Computer Science, ML, Statistics, Maths, or equivalent experience, plus 5+ years in applied ML/AI research or development.\n, • A genuine track record in privacy-preserving ML, generative AI, LLMs, or federated learning, since this isn't a "learn on the job" role.\n, • Strong Python engineering skills: ML frameworks, version control, CI/CD, reproducible experiments.\n, • Comfort working across the full ML lifecycle, from first prototype to something that can actually be deployed.\n, • Experience mentoring others and the communication skills to explain complex trade-offs to non-technical stakeholders.\n\n \n Bonus points: differential privacy or secure computation experience, LLM/agentic AI/frontier AI evaluation work, published research, or experience in regulated industries (insurance, financial services, public sector). \n \n Why join us \n\n • Real technical ownership on a genuinely novel, high-profile programme, not a support role on someone else's research.\n, • Direct exposure to Oxford's academic network and CODAS's international partners, not just your immediate team.\n, • Work that ships. This isn't research for its own sake; it becomes part of a live sovereign AI ecosystem built with Japanese public and private-sector partners.\n, • This is a fixed-term contract tied to CODAS's current funding cycle, but there's a genuine intent to extend and move roles to permanent as a second funding round is confirmed. It isn't a contract designed to end.\n

Founded in 2019 and part of Y Combinator's 2020 cohort, _ is the leading visual solution for e-commerce. We've raised Series B funding and reached 300+ million users worldwide, processing over 5 billion images annually and serving both small businesses and major enterprises like Amazon, DoorDash, and Decathlon through our mobile app, web platform, and API. We're a remote-friendly team of 100+ passionate builders giving e-commerce businesses superpowers to create visuals that help them grow, making the hardest parts of selling online disappear. We focus on craft, innovation, and collaboration, creating exceptional impact for e-commerce businesses worldwide. We're looking for a Senior Product Manager, SMB E-commerce Growth to own activation, monetization, and retention for our SMB e-commerce segment across the Photoroom mobile and web apps. This is a growth role: you'll own the levers that turn sign-ups into retained subscribers, and the growth-led features that move them. From paywalls to pricing experiments and onboarding and discovery flows, you'll partner closely with User Acquisition on the handoff from paid to product, and with the core SMB product team on what gets built next. Location: Remote across Europe with monthly Paris office visits (fully reimbursed) Own a real slice of the growth funnel. Activation, paywall, pricing, or retention: you'll lead a squad and own a specific number end-to-end, deciding what gets tested, what gets built, and what gets killed. Move the metric, not just the backlog. Run a high-velocity experimentation program across web and mobile funnels. Ship A/B tests weekly, and bigger feature bets when the data calls for them. Find the insight, then build the feature. The best growth work is spotting why users drop off and shipping the change that fixes it. You'll do both. Work across web and mobile. Mobile and web funnels behave differently (App Store vs. card-on-file, push vs. email). You'll own both, and partner closely with the User Acquisition team on the handoff from paid to product. Use data to decide, not to justify. Pull and interpret data yourself, form hypotheses, measure what shipped, and call what's next. You won't need to wait around for someone else to run the query. You've moved real numbers on a subscription product. Five to eight years as a PM, with concrete activation, monetization, or retention wins you can name with the KPI, the change, and the percentage impact, owned by you, not by a team you sat on. You've worked on something with recurring revenue. Whether B2B SaaS, B2C subscription, or B2B2C, as long as your work was tied directly to revenue your experience will give you a leg up. Pure marketplace or pure free-product backgrounds will struggle here. You know how SMB sellers buy. You understand how SMB e-commerce sellers discover, evaluate, and adopt utility SaaS, the kind of motion behind Shopify, Canva, Klaviyo, Stripe, Klarna, Gorgias, Recharge, Loop, Wix, or Squarespace. You think in funnels. You understand activation curves, paywall psychology, trial design, and the difference between credit-based, feature-gated, and seat-based pricing, and you have opinions on which works where. You build with AI. You use Claude or equivalent to automate recurring tasks, and can explain how you set it up to help you ship faster. You're data-fluent. Comfortable with SQL and an analytics platform like Amplitude or Mixpanel; you build and interpret your own funnel without waiting for a data scientist, and you've shipped a high volume of A/B tests personally in the last 12 months. You thrive in small teams with high autonomy. You can ship without being managed, and can operate in a fully remote, async-first environment that offers no scaffolding around you. Nice to have: experience on both web and mobile funnels; familiarity with the Shopify ecosystem (app store, connect flows, merchant personas) or a comparable e-commerce platform; entrepreneurial experience (you've started, built, or run something). If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit. We're committed to enabling everyone to feel included and valued at work. We believe our company and culture are strongest when composed of diverse experiences and backgrounds. That's also why we have flexible working hours, trust people to work remotely, and extended parental leave. All qualified applicants receive consideration for employment without regard to age, color, family, gender identity, marital status, national origin, physical or mental disability, sex (including pregnancy), sexual orientation, or any other characteristic protected by applicable laws.
