Senior Data Scientist / Product Analyst II - Engineering Platform

Location: London, UK (Hybrid)

The Mission

Behind every global streaming giant is a massive engine of internal tools and infrastructure. We are looking for a data expert to join our Platform Insights team. Your "customers" aren't the end listeners-they are the hundreds of world-class engineers building the applications used by millions. Your goal is to optimize the developer experience, ensuring our internal systems are fast, stable, and scalable.

What You'll Do

Drive Product Strategy: Partner with Product Managers and Engineers to define what "success" looks like for internal developer tools and cloud infrastructure.

Full-Stack Analytics: Define key metrics, build robust datasets, and create high-impact dashboards (SQL/Python).

Exploratory Research: Deep-dive into technical logs and user behavior to identify friction in the software development lifecycle.

Influence Change: Communicate technical insights to senior stakeholders to prioritize high-value infrastructure investments.

Who You Are

The Technical Analyst: You have 5+ years of experience in a quantitative role, with mastery of SQL and Python/R.

Domain Enthusiast: You have a genuine interest in how software is built-familiarity with CI/CD, Cloud Infrastructure (GCP/AWS), or Software Architecture is a major plus.

Bridge Builder: You can translate "complex system data" into clear, actionable business recommendations.

Quantitative Background: Degree in Computer Science, Stats, Math, Economics, or a related field.

Why This Role?

This isn't a standard marketing analytics role. You will be at the heart of technical innovation, helping one of the world's most admired tech companies scale to a billion users by empowering the people who build it. Please apply here or share your updated CV to (url removed)

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
