Trainline operates an independent rail and coach platform that helps travellers find and book tickets across carriers, fares, and journey options through a mobile app, website, and B2B partner channels. The company brings together rail, coach, and travel services into one user experience, gathering routes, prices, and travel times from over 270 rail and coach operators across multiple countries. Its stated purpose is to empower greener travel choices, connecting people and places while making the green travel choice the best choice for customers, the business, and the planet.

In terms of data and artificial intelligence, Trainline utilizes data science and analytics to understand and improve the end-to-end customer journey, from search to commerce. Data scientists and analysts are embedded in cross-functional product and marketing teams with a high degree of autonomy, using analytical and statistical techniques, experimentation, and deep learning to drive product insights and strategy. Specialized machine learning and data engineering teams build pipelines, feature stores, and cloud-native data applications on AWS using tools such as Spark, Airflow, and DBT to fuel advanced machine learning models and real-time data products.

Open roles at Trainline reflect the scaling of these data and machine learning functions, specifically seeking senior-level and embedded technical talent. The current open positions include Senior Data Scientist - B2B, Senior Data Scientist, and Embedded Data Engineer - ML. These roles are based in London, with remote work options available for specific positions, pointing to an organizational structure that integrates specialised data engineering and data science professionals directly into cross-functional product and machine learning teams.
