Senior Geospatial Data Scientist

Associate Director of Geospatial Data Engineering | £140k | Remote (UK) | Open Source + Geospatial + AI-adjacent 📣


We’re working with a forward-thinking data consultancy that’s looking for ahands-on Associate Director of Geospatial Data Engineering— someone who blends deep technical ability with creativity, and loves solving unusual data challenges with open-source tools.

This is a unique opportunity to take ownership of strategic data engineering projects — helping clients build modern, scalable data platforms while leading from the front with your own engineering expertise.


🔧 What you'll be working with:

  • Python-first data engineering, building custom pipelines, automation tools and ingestion workflows.
  • PostgreSQL + PostGIS: serious spatial querying, indexing and geospatial wrangling.
  • Cloud-native infrastructure: AWS / GCP / Azure (your pick) — but with a proper understanding of how it all works under the hood.
  • Modern ETL/ELTusing Airflow, Spark, Dagster, Prefect — you choose the right tool for the job.
  • CI/CD for data: Git, Docker, automated testing, efficient and scalable workflows.


🗺️ What sets this role apart:

  • Heavy emphasis ongeospatial data engineering— working with OSM, map tile rendering, Leaflet.js, Kepler.gl, and data visualisation.
  • Work on projects blendingprivate + public + non-traditional data sources— edge devices, IoT, NLP pipelines, and custom data processing challenges.
  • Preference for open-source tools (QGIS, SpaCy, MapTiler etc.) over proprietary systems.
  • A chance to shape the strategy, lead delivery, and stay close to the tech.


🧠 You might be a fit if you:

  • Have a deep understanding of systems, efficiency, and optimisation (e.g., edge computing, AI-on-device, or automation with Raspberry Pi).
  • Are a natural problem-solver who can connect data points others miss.
  • Enjoy tackling messy, unconventional datasets.
  • Have a track record ofpersonal projects, open-source contributions or building beyond the 9–5

Machine learning is no longer confined to academic research—it's embedded in how UK companies detect fraud, recommend content, automate processes & forecast risk. But with model complexity rising and LLMs transforming workflows, employers are demanding new skills from machine learning professionals. Welcome to the Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the top languages, frameworks, platforms & tools shaping machine learning roles in the UK. Whether you're an aspiring ML engineer or a mid-career data scientist, this radar shows what to learn now to stay job-ready in 2026.

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.
