I'm hiring for a Data Scientist to join a growing technology company applying advanced data science and machine learning to complex, real‑world problems in a highly regulated environment.

The company has built a proprietary analytical platform that has been successfully validated through large‑scale, real‑world use. The work is firmly applied rather than academic, with a strong focus on robustness, performance, and practical impact. Following recent progress, the R&D team is now expanding and offers a collaborative, mission‑driven culture.

The Role

This role focuses on applied machine learning and data analysis, working with complex datasets alongside scientists and engineers. You'll contribute across the model lifecycle - from exploration and development through to evaluation, documentation, and deployment‑ready outputs.

The position suits an early‑ to mid‑level Data Scientist looking to work on meaningful problems, gain exposure to production‑grade ML, and develop technical judgement with support from senior colleagues.

Essential Experience

Degree in a quantitative or scientific discipline, or equivalent professional experience

Hands‑on experience developing machine learning models

Strong Python skills and clean coding practices

Ability to work with complex datasets and communicate results clearly

Comfortable collaborating across technical and non‑technical teams

Experience producing clear technical documentation or reports

Nice to Have

Experience in regulated or safety‑critical environments

Linux or high‑performance computing exposure

Knowledge of databases or data pipelines

Experience with additional languages (e.g. R, C/C++, C#)

Location & Working Style

Based in Glasgow, with a hybrid working model and flexibility around hours.

Candidates must have the full right to work in the UK permanently without visa sponsorship

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

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
