About the company

At Magentic, we’re building AI systems that can autonomously run complex procurement and supply chain workflows for some of the world’s largest companies.

We’re tackling a genuinely hard real-world problem, helping global manufacturing supply chains become more resilient in an increasingly unpredictable world. It’s a massive space with huge untapped potential for AI.

We’re an early-stage company backed by Sequoia Capital, with a team bringing experience from OpenAI, Meta, Revolut, NASA and McKinsey & Company.

We’re looking for a Data Scientist to help us apply LLMs and AI tooling to large-scale, messy, real-world datasets, solving operational problems where the answers aren’t obvious and the impact is very tangible.
