Data Scientist, Analytics Duties

Data Scientist (Analytics) is to help teams make better data-driven decisions. This is done in the following way:

Collect, organize, interpret, and summarize statistical data in order to contribute to the design and development of products Apply your expertise in quantitative analysis, data mining, and the presentation of data to see beyond the numbers and understand how our users interact with both our consumer and business products Partner with Product and Engineering teams to solve problems and identify trends and opportunities Inform, influence, support, and execute our product decisions and product launches May be assigned projects in various areas including, but not limited to, product operations, exploratory analysis, product influence, and data infrastructure Work on problems of diverse scope where analysis of data requires evaluation of identifiable factors Demonstrate good judgment in selecting methods and techniques for obtaining solutions Perform data analyses on tactical (feature-level) and strategic (team objectives and goals) work to drive team direction Develop strategic narrative based on analytical insights and priorities Think about key questions and metrics to define success for any product/feature.In connection with these duties, may apply knowledge of the following:Performing quantitative analysis including data mining on highly complex data sets Data querying languages, such as SQL, scripting languages, such as Python, or statistical or mathematical software, such as R, SAS, or Matlab Applied statistics or experimentation, such as A/B testing, in an industry setting Communicating the results of analyses to product or leadership teams to influence strategy Machine learning techniques ETL (Extract, Transform, Load) processes Relational databases Large-scale data processing infrastructures using distributed systems Quantitative analysis techniques, including clustering, regression, pattern recognition, or descriptive and inferential statistics.

THE ROLE

We have 3 areas in Experiences: Organic (focusing on consumers), Paid (focusing on business/advertisers), Platform (infra to help scale the other two)

We are looking for a Data Scientist to join our Paid Experiences team. Specifically, this will work with our Engineers, Designers and Product Managers to: Understand what integrity experiences prevent advertisers from running ads successfully Help advertisers (self-)remediate to unblock their campaigns, while protecting the organisation from harm

WHO WE ARE LOOKING FOR

Excited about giving millions of users a day a more supportive integrity experience when they face enforcements or encounter harm on the platform Excited about optimising systems for scale at the intersection of user facing experiences and platform capabilities Enjoys thinking through how we best form partnerships with other teams and how scalable solutions should be governed effectively. Enjoys getting their hands dirty to understand data and system disconnects and can drive insightful root-cause-analysis

Minimum Qualifications

Requires a Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Systems, Analytics, Mathematics, Economics, Physics, Applied Sciences, or a related field. Requires knowledge or experience in the following: Performing quantitative analysis including data mining on highly complex data sets. Data querying language: SQL Scripting language: Python Statistical or mathematical software including one of the following: R, SAS, or Matlab Applied statistics or experimentation, such as A/B testing, in an industry setting Machine learning techniques Quantitative analysis techniques, including one of the following: clustering, regression, pattern recognition, or descriptive and inferential statistics

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.
