Data Scientist - (Senior AI/ML Engineer) – Behavioural Biometrics / Data Science – Early Equity Opportunity


We’re looking for candidates with strong experience in Computational Linguistics to help build and refine intelligent language technologies, combining linguistic expertise with technical skills to drive innovation in NLP and AI applications.


Our client uses behavioural biometric interactions and advanced AI to create unique digital user identities, enabling seamless, intelligent security systems that adapt in real time. With ambitious growth plans on the horizon, this is the ideal time to get in early and make a defining impact.


We’re seeking aData Scientist / Senior AI/ML Engineerwith adata science foundation, strong academic background (MSc/PhD preferred), and a proven track record of building and deploying real-world AI systems from research to production.


The Opportunity - Data Scientist - Senior AI/ML Engineer:

As a senior member of this growing team, you’ll help architect and scale intelligent systems that analyse complex behavioural data (e.g. sensor, motion, touch, or biometric patterns). You'll work across the full lifecycle, from R&D and prototyping to robust deployment, and help define the technical strategy as the company prepares to scale.


Key Responsibilities - Data Scientist - Senior AI/ML Engineer:

  • Design, train, and deploy advanced machine learning and behavioural intelligence models.
  • Lead the transition of prototypes into scalable, cloud-native production systems.
  • Architect data pipelines and model-serving infrastructure (Docker, Kubernetes, MLOps).
  • Work with large-scale time series and behavioural data from diverse sensors.
  • Contribute to strategic technical decisions and mentor junior engineers.
  • Collaborate cross-functionally with product, UX, and leadership to align AI capabilities with real-world applications.


What we are looking for - Data Scientist - Senior AI/ML Engineer:

  • MANDATORY – Must be eligible for UK Government Security Clearance
  • 4+ years in AI/ML engineering or data science roles, ideally within high-growth or research-driven environments.
  • Strong academic background in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Applied Maths, Computational linguistics or a related field (MSc/PhD strongly preferred).
  • Any candidates with exposure to computational linguistics are highly desirable, either from a research academic or commercial perspective.
  • Proficiency in Python and ML libraries such as Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Scikit-learn.
  • Experience deploying AI solutions into production environments using AWS/GCP/Azure.
  • Hands-on with MLOps, CI/CD for ML, and model performance monitoring.
  • A background in behavioural biometrics, human-computer interaction, or large-scale sensor/time-series data is a strong plus.
  • A passion for human-centred AI, innovation, and applying research in real-world contexts.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
