Data Scientist - Optimisation & Operations Research

North West London (Hybrid, 3 days on-site) | £550 - £750 /day

The Opportunity

We're recruiting on behalf of a globally recognised organisation undergoing a major transformation in how it uses data to drive operational decisions. This is a rare chance to work on genuinely complex, high-impact decision-support software - embedding cutting-edge optimisation and machine learning directly into live operations.

You'll join a high-performing, Agile product squad as a full-stack Data Scientist, sitting at the intersection of data engineering, ML, and operations research.

What You'll Be Doing

Designing and delivering optimisation and ML models (linear/mixed-integer programming, heuristics, supervised/unsupervised learning) in Python, from prototype to production

Building robust, automated data pipelines and integrating models into cloud-based deployment pipelines with CI/CD

Owning features end-to-end - from stakeholder requirements through to algorithm hardening, edge-case handling, and value measurement

Working with orchestration frameworks (Dagster/Airflow), experiment tracking (MLflow), and containerised infrastructure (Docker/ECS)

Collaborating closely with business stakeholders and contributing to roadmap and feature prioritisation What We're Looking For

Strong operational research and optimisation background - this is a must

Fluent Python, with hands-on experience of scikit-learn, pandas, numpy, Gurobi or similar OR packages

Production ML/optimisation software experience - you've shipped models that run at scale

Cloud platform experience (AWS preferred); familiarity with SageMaker, DVC, GitHub Actions a bonus

Strong SQL and data engineering fundamentals

Experience in airline, aviation, transport, or engineering/maintenance environments is highly desirable

Master's degree (or equivalent) in Data Science, ML, or Operational Research - or strong demonstrable industry experience

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

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.
