Company mission
Free Now's mission is to make urban mobility better for passengers, drivers and communities, and to help cities move more freely.
Role
Who you are
- Minimum 5 years experience in a similar role
- Innovative can-do attitude, able to solve problems independently, also going beyond existing systems and processes
- Extensive experience in NLP, Machine Learning, Deep Learning, and data preprocessing, with expertise in Transformer models (BERT, GPT-4, T5) and LLMs (Gemini, Llama3, Mistral)
- Proficient in model training, fine-tuning, and performance evaluation, applying techniques like regression, classification, clustering, time-series forecasting, and anomaly detection
- Strong foundation in machine learning concepts, with advanced skills in Python, C/C++, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and SaaS platforms (Flask, APIs) for AI-driven automation

What the job involves
- We are looking for an AI/ML Engineer who will help shape and expand our AI capabilities, driving the development of innovative integrations and tools, and delivering a cutting-edge AI platform for data-driven solutions at FREENOW
- While we currently have AI-powered features and automations in place—such as chatbots, LLMs, NLP solutions, and predictive models—we're seeking someone to not only support and optimize these systems but also to push beyond existing use cases, unlocking new opportunities for AI across our organization!
- Own and develop our AI capabilities and vision to build up an innovative Data Platform
- Develop, implement, and optimize AI-driven chatbots and automation solutions for our stakeholders across different channels
- Leverage AI and MLE to generate engaging tooling for guided data discovery and innovative insight generation processes
- Identify bottlenecks in our current processes and use cases and build creative tooling to enable our technical and non technical stakeholders
- Interact mainly with our internal stakeholders, translate technical constraints, contexts, processes and requirements to both technical and non technical audience and act as a process and data product owner
- Assess and improve frameworks, tools and processes, develop solutions from scratch, translate business needs into effective tools, adopt new methodologies quickly, and apply industry best practices to enhance systems with a focus on innovation and problem-solving
Our take
FREE NOW is a multi-service mobility joint venture backed by BMW Group and Mercedes-Benz Mobility. The company aggregates numerous mobility brands with the ambition to make urban mobility more efficient and sustainable without adding new vehicles on the street. These include Beat, Kapten and Clever Taxi.
FREE NOW’s unique integration of mobility brands and payments services gives users access to the widest range of mobility options on the market. These options include finding the nearest taxi, private hire vehicle or car share, as well as micro-mobility options such as e-scooters, e-mopeds and e-bikes. In doing so, the company makes urban mobility more efficient and sustainable, without bringing new vehicles to the street.
FREE NOW operates across 170 cities with over 56 million users. In the UK, it faces competition from the likes of Uber and Bolt. However, the company has been focused on investing and growing further in London, successfully quadrupling UK journeys in 2022. Whilst businesses like Uber have struggled to secure licenses with Transport for London, FREE NOW has received a three year license, which is longer than any major competitor.
