Join IntelliSense.io as an Applied Data Scientist!

Shape the Future of Mining with IntelliSense.io

Are you driven by the power of data and inspired by real-world impact? Do you want to apply cutting-edge tech to one of the world’s most transformative industries? IntelliSense.io is looking for an exceptional Applied Data Scientist to bring our next-generation models to life across flagship projects in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.

At IntelliSense.io, we’re not just building AI — we’re pioneering Objective AI (ODAI), a breakthrough approach that blends fundamental physics with artificial intelligence to truly understand the physical world. Our technology acts as the “brain of the operation”, empowering people with role-specific AI co-pilots and enabling autonomous decision-making across the mining value chain.

With a global, remote-first workforce and regional hubs in the UK, Australia, Chile, and Ireland, we are now expanding our presence in the Middle East, particularly in Saudi Arabia — a global leader in mining development under Vision 2030.

Your Responsibilities

  • Technical leadership within a diverse, interdisciplinary team

  • Breaking down high-level requirements into tasks with clearly defined completion and success criteria

  • Digs deeper into problems and can help others to find solutions

  • Shows curiosity and an inquisitive approach to problem solving

  • Is comfortable working with remote colleagues around the world

  • Wants to stretch themselves beyond their comfort zone

  • Would be excited to hear about our models and applications

    • Physical and empirical models of complex processes and equipment

    • Machine learning prediction and inference models

    • Configurable optimizers producing real-time recommendations

    • Rigorous treatment of uncertainty and errors in physical and machine learning models

    • Bayesian reconciliation of imprecise measurements

    • Robust treatment of challenging data sources and messy data

  • Fluency in both English and Arabic is essential.

  • Willingness to travel regularly to mining sites across Saudi Arabia and internationally. A valid driving licence is required due to the remote locations of client operations.

  • Openness to travel to the United Kingdom for extended training periods, particularly during the onboarding phase.

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary and benefits package in line with local market standards

  • Remote-first and flexible working model

  • Generous paid time off (annual leave and public holidays per Saudi Labour Law)
