AI/ML & Data Science Developer — Hybrid, Stevenage

Hybrid Service Data Analyst – BI & Power BI

A major quant strategy hedge fund are looking to make a unique hire into its expanding London based trade support team.


The role has a core tech / development focus – this is to run what is a heavily analytical hands-on approach to typical trade support responsibilities (as opposed to manual processing) + to constantly run a large volume of automation / process improvement projects, but to also regularly work on ad-hoc projects for the tech, quant and investment teams. Whilst not a pre-requisite day one, the hire will go on to learn Python/SQL/VBA/R to a strong standard (and some Matlab, C++ & C#).


This is a perfect role for a current operations / middle office / trade support analyst, at an IB, hedge fund or prop firm, who has strong technical skills but that is struggling to use them and/or improve on them in practice. The role can lead to a managerial position in the team as it builds out, or moves directly into a tech, quant, or front office team (+ there is also the potential to move overseas to the firm’s HQ or a developing office elsewhere).


Candidates should have 2-6yrs relevant line operations/trade support experience, a strong STEM focused academic background and some form of advanced coding skills (preference for python).


The role has a £60-90k base salary band to allow for a strong step up for anybody in the target experience range. A top performer can achieve a 50% bonus year one, however there are variables either side of this pending individual and company performance (+the opportunity for much bugger upside in years 2/3+ etc.).

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.
