Job Title: Senior Data Scientist

Company Overview: Atreides helps organizations transform large and complex multi-modal datasets into information-rich geo-spatial data subscriptions that can be used across a wide spectrum of use cases. Currently, Atreides focuses on providing high-fidelity data solutions to enable customers to derive insights quickly.

Atreides transforms the chaos of petabyte-scale, all-domain data—land, air, sea, space, and cyber—into real-time operational clarity. We are a fast-moving, high-performance international scale company. We trust our team with autonomy, believing it leads to better results and job satisfaction. With a mission-driven mindset and entrepreneurial spirit, we are building something new and helping unlock the power of massive-scale data to make the world safer, stronger, and more prosperous.

Team Overview: We are a passionate team of technologists, data scientists, and analysts with backgrounds in operational intelligence, law enforcement, large multinationals, and cybersecurity operations. We obsess about designing products that will change the way global companies, governments and nonprofits protect themselves from external threats and global adversaries.

Position Overview: We're looking for a skilled Data Scientist to work on-site with a key customer, leading deep analytical investigations that uncover structure, relationships, and operational insight from complex and high-volume data streams.You’ll architect workflows for pattern identification, anomaly detection, and interaction analysis across disparate data sources — often involving tracked entities, sensor feeds, or behavioral signals. You will also define and implement quality assurance methodologies that ensure analytical outputs are consistent and interpretable, collaborating closely with engineers to embed those checks in production systems. In addition, you’ll take point on high-value or urgent analytic requests from internal and external stakeholders, helping translate open-ended questions into reliable, data-driven answers.

This role is hybrid, based one day per week on-site with an Atreides client based in Cambridgeshire, UK.

Team Principles:

At Atreides, we believe that teams work best when they:

  • Remain curious and passionate in all aspects of our work
  • Promote clear, direct, and transparent communication
  • Embrace the 'measure twice, cut once' philosophy
  • Value and encourage diverse ideas and technologies
  • Lead with empathy in all interactions

Responsibilities:

  • Design and lead investigations into patterns, trends, and edge cases across filtered datasets.
  • Develop interaction models and fused analyses across multiple entity types and data modalities.
  • Architect data quality and reliability evaluation processes at scale.
  • Partner with data engineering to embed analytic logic into data pipelines and services.
  • Conduct bespoke, high-complexity analysis in support of customer-facing or operational needs.
  • Guide team best practices in Spark SQL usage, data documentation, and exploratory reproducibility.

Desired Qualifications:

  • 5+ years of experience in data science, applied analytics, or data R&D.
  • Advanced expertise in Python, Spark SQL, and distributed data environments.
  • Strong background in statistical inference, anomaly detection, and interaction modeling.
  • Proven track record in developing quality control or validation processes for complex analytics.
  • Experience working with multi-source data and deriving insights from structured or semi-structured inputs.
  • Excellent mentorship, communication, and analytical design leadership skills.

Compensation and Benefits:

  • Competitive salary
  • Comprehensive health, dental, and vision insurance plans
  • Flexible hybrid work environment
  • Additional benefits like flexible hours, work travel opportunities, competitive vacation time and parental leave

You must have the right to work in the United Kingdom. Please note that we do not provide visa sponsorship.

This position requires eligibility to obtain a minimum of a UK SC government security clearance, which typically requires residency or other qualifying criteria.

While meeting all of these criteria would be ideal, we understand that some candidates may meet most, but not all. If you're passionate, curious and ready to "work smart and get things done," we'd love to hear from you.

Top 10 Skills in Machine Learning According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Machine learning (ML) is at the forefront of innovation, powering systems in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and beyond in the UK. As organisations leverage ML for predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent systems, demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow. So, which skills are most in demand? Drawing on insights from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article outlines the Top 10 machine learning skills UK employers are looking for in 2025. You'll learn how to demonstrate these capabilities through your CV, interviews, and real-world projects.

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.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Machine Learning Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's machine learning sector has evolved into one of Europe's most intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior ML engineers to principal machine learning scientists and heads of artificial intelligence research. With machine learning positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate ML engineers to £160,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this pioneering and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, machine learning hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by AI research cycles, model development timelines, and algorithmic innovation schedules. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.
