Data Scientist - Hybrid

About the Role

Data Scientists at Sensor Tower are hybrid Data Scientists and Software Engineers. You would take data all the way from doing initial analysis to building data pipelines to final model implementation and monitoring. Data Scientists take full ownership of the back-end of the products they're working on. We are looking for a hands-on thinker to help harvest new insights from our constantly growing foundation of quantitative information collected from the mobile app ecosystem.

What You Will Work On

  • Prototype machine learning models in Python or Ruby.
  • Analyze query performance to ensure calculation efficiency.
  • Write tests for the implementation of machine learning models.
  • Collaborate with back-end engineers to understand the raw data being collected.
  • Collaborate with front-end engineers to create data visualizations for both external and internal customers.
  • Conduct ad-hoc data analysis based on requests from the Sales, CSM or Contents team.
  • Present results of various data analysis.


Experience We Are Looking For

  • Master's degree or above in mathematics, statistics, or computer science.
  • 3+ years applied experience in business intelligence, data mining, analytics, or statistical modeling in technology or mobile industries OR 2+ years applied experience in data science in mobile market intelligence.
  • Ability to write code that is ready for production (Python and Ruby preferred).
  • Experience with adjusting data for bias.
  • Substantial experience with databases, querying data, and data structure manipulation.
  • Ability to communicate effectively with technical developers and non-technical marketing business partners.
  • Ability to produce rough timelines for deliveries plus solid understanding of steps necessary to complete a project.
  • Ability to come up with a rough project structure from scratch.
  • Ability to critically analyse given data, ask probing questions, and perform own research.
  • Substantial knowledge of statistical modeling techniques.
  • Mastery of one or more statistical visualization or graphing toolkits such as Excel, Jupyter Notebooks, or Google Spreadsheets.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
