Senior Data Scientist

London
£70,000 to £90,000 plus benefits

This is an exciting opportunity to join a high-growth tech business where data science sits at the heart of product innovation. You will shape new AI-driven capabilities, work with cutting-edge machine learning, and help transform how customers understand and prevent complex digital challenges.

The Company

They are a fast-scaling SaaS organisation operating at the intersection of AI, machine learning, and real-time behavioural data. Their platform processes billions of events daily and solves technically challenging problems in a rapidly evolving domain. With data science embedded into their core product, this team plays a critical role in defining the next generation of their offering.

The Role

  • Lead the end-to-end development of new ML and AI capabilities, from rapid prototyping through to production deployment.
  • Build MVPs and collaborate closely with Engineering and Product teams to bring ideas to life.
  • Apply advanced machine learning and LLM techniques, including RAG, agents and NLP, where they drive meaningful customer and product impact.
  • Work with large-scale datasets in cloud environments to deliver robust, scalable systems.
  • Contribute to product strategy through strong experimentation, technical insight, and pragmatic decision-making.

Your Skills and Experience

  • Strong experience delivering production-grade ML systems end to end.
  • Proficiency in Python and SQL, with experience working on cloud-scale datasets.
  • Practical experience with LLMs and applied AI, such as RAG, agents, or NLP.
  • Experience building customer-facing or product-centric ML systems.
  • A product-focused mindset, balancing experimentation with real-world value.

Useful additional experience includes:

  • AWS or GCP environments (SageMaker, Bedrock, Lambda, S3, Redshift).
  • MLOps practices (monitoring, deployment, optimisation).
  • Working with streaming data, transformer models or recommendation systems.

What They Offer

  • £70,000 to £90,000 salary.
  • Hybrid working with two days onsite.
  • 35 days annual leave including bank holidays.
  • £500 annual wellbeing budget.
  • Up to £1,500 home office setup budget.
  • Company pension contribution at 3 percent.

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.
