Data Scientist - (Forecasting/Regression)

Remote (UK-Based)

Up to £45,000


The Company

This UK-based start-up has grown rapidly in just two years. With a team of ~30 people, they are scaling quickly, supported by recent funding and a strong growth pipeline.


They specialise in predictive analytics, tracking KPIs for a wide range of companies and industries. Their insights empower investors to make informed decisions by providing performance data ahead of public reports.


The Role

As a Data Scientist, you’ll play a pivotal role in developing and refining KPI prediction models, working with real-world data to create actionable insights.

  • Clean and process data to ensure accuracy and usability.
  • Build and maintain linear regression models for KPI tracking.
  • Access APIs and integrate software tools to enhance workflows.
  • Collaborate with the revenue team to generate insightful reports.
  • Support internal product development by improving data pipelines and analysis.


What They're Looking For

  • 1-2 years in data science or a related field, or a Master’s degree.
  • Strong Python programming (essential), SQL, and linear regression/statistical modeling. Experience with web scraping, machine learning, or dashboarding is a plus.
  • A background in finance or exposure to financial data is advantageous but not required.


The Process

  • A data task: Process raw data and build a model to predict revenue (2-4 hours).
  • A technical interview with the Head of Technology, covering coding, statistics, and technical problem-solving.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
