Mission

We are seeking a Data Scientist with deep expertise in Knowledge Graphs and Ontologies and the ability to work across domains. You will design and deploy production‑grade graph solutions that model relationships not only between UAVs, missions, and sensors, but across company processes end‑to‑end: from operations and production to HR and delivery. Your work will provide a transversal view of how data and processes interconnect, powering insights and decision‑making across the organization.


What will be your responsibilities

  • Ontology Design & Management: Design and maintain scalable ontologies to unify mission data, sensor outputs, flight logs, and operational parameters.
  • Graph Engineering (Neo4j): Implement, optimize, and operate Neo4j schemas; write high‑performance Cypher queries and ensure production scalability.
  • Graph Data Science: Apply graph algorithms (e.g., centrality, pathfinding, community detection) and graph ML to derive actionable insights.
  • Production Deployment: Move solutions from research to production (TRL > 6); integrate graph models into APIs and pipelines with reliability and latency constraints.
  • Data Integration: Build ingestion pipelines for structured and unstructured data into the Knowledge Graph.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration: Translate operational and domain requirements into robust data and graph models.

Profile and requirements

  • Graph Databases: Advanced Neo4j expertise, including architecture, drivers, administration, and Cypher.
  • Ontology & Semantics: Strong experience with data modeling, ontologies, and semantic technologies (RDF, OWL, SPARQL).
  • Programming: High proficiency in Python (pandas, networkx, py2neo, neo4j‑driver).
  • Graph ML: Experience with Neo4j GDS or frameworks such as PyTorch Geometric or DGL.
  • Production Engineering: Hands‑on experience with Docker, REST APIs (FastAPI/Flask), and CI/CD pipelines.

Core Data Science Profile

  • 3+ years of experience in Data Science or Data Engineering.
  • Experience with NLP for entity and relationship extraction is a plus.
  • Strongly skilled in standard ML workflows (Scikit‑Learn, XGBoost).
  • Experience with geospatial data (GIS, GeoPandas) is valued.

Education

MSc in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related engineering field (PhD welcome, but practical delivery is prioritized).


Profile We’re Looking For

  • Production Builder: You focus on deploying reliable systems, not just experiments.
  • Versatile Specialist: Deep in graph technologies, comfortable across the full data stack when needed.
  • Structured Thinker: You value strong data models, data quality, and long‑term maintainability.

What we have to offer you

  • An excellent work environment and an opportunity to make a difference;
  • Salary Compatible with the level of proven experience.

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
