Senior Data Scientist
Artificial Intelligence Team | Fixed Term Contract
Are you a technically strong Data Scientist who enjoys solving complex problems end-to-end from experimentation through to production?
This company are building advanced AI capability within their organisation and are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to help design, deploy, and operationalise cutting-edge machine learning solutions across the business.
This is not a research only role. This is real world AI in production.
The Opportunity
You'll work across the full breadth of modern data science, including:
* Natural Language Processing (NLP) & LLM applications
* Time-series forecasting & anomaly detection
* Computer vision & speech technologies
* IoT and sensor data modelling
* Statistical modelling and advanced ML algorithms
* Cloud-native deployment (Azure environment preferred)
You'll take ownership of projects from concept through to deployment, collaborating with Infrastructure and Operations teams to ensure solutions are robust, scalable, and production-ready.
What You'll Be Doing
* Design, build and deploy ML/AI models in managed cloud environments
* Develop NLP solutions (NER, sentiment analysis, text classification, topic modelling, clustering, document understanding)
* Apply specialised modelling techniques including geospatial analytics and time-series forecasting
* Productionise models using MLOps best practices (CI/CD for ML)
* Work across SQL/NoSQL data stores and ETL/ELT workflows
* Communicate insights and progress clearly with business stakeholders
* Contribute to innovation and technical direction within the AI function
What We're Looking For
* 4+ years' experience developing and deploying data science or AI models
* Strong grounding in statistics and machine learning algorithms
* Experience working with NLP and/or LLM technologies
* Proficiency in Python (NumPy, pandas, SciPy, scikit-learn)
* Experience deploying ML solutions in Azure (or similar cloud platforms)
* Practical exposure to MLOps and model productionisation
* Strong stakeholder communication skills
Why Join?
* End-to-end technical ownership
* Work on advanced AI problems not just dashboards
* Exposure to diverse modelling domains (NLP, CV, IoT, time-series)
* Opportunity to help shape and grow AI capability
* Collaborative, forward thinking technology environment
If you're passionate about applying first-principles thinking to real operational challenges and want to see your models deployed at scale, we'd love to hear from you.
