Overview

Data Scientist and Python Software Developer - London

We're looking to recruit a Data Scientist and Python Software Developer with data science skills to join a product team that is focused on building well engineered products.

The products provide an intuitive way for retailers and suppliers to interact and consume 'big data' analytics to make better business decisions.

This role would consist of working together with a team of statistical analysts, understanding their methodologies and algorithms, and turning them into production ready code written in Python.

This role would also require occasional travel to Paris or Munich.

Responsibilities
  • Work with a team of statistical analysts, understand their methodologies and algorithms, and turn them into production ready code written in Python.
  • Collaborate with the product team to build well engineered products and enable data science-driven decision making.
  • Travel occasionally to Paris or Munich as required.
Main skills
  • Excellent knowledge of Python and its related data science libraries (scikit, pandas, etc)
  • Prior experience of using Python to perform calculations and generate datasets
  • Good statistical knowledge
  • Excellent communication and decision making skills
  • Exposure to working with REST API's
Nice to have
  • Has run code across Hadoop/MapReduce clusters
  • Has code running in a production environment
  • Used SAS before (or at least can decipher SAS code)
  • Worked with very large data sets before (billions of records)
  • Knowledge of SQL/NoSQL database
  • Knowledge or experience in D3.js
  • Experience acting as a mentor/trainer in Python
Details
  • This is 6 month assignment in London with travel to Paris and Munich.
  • Please send your CV to us in Word format along with daily rate and availability.

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

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. 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.
