Junior Data Scientist – Master’s Graduate Role

Location: London (Hybrid)

Salary: £35,000 – £45,000 + Bonus + Benefits

Start Date: ASAP


About the Opportunity:

We are seeking an ambitious and intellectually curious Junior Data Scientist to join a fast-growing, forward-thinking team working at the forefront of data science, machine learning, and applied AI.


This is an excellent opportunity for a recent Master’s graduate eager to apply their academic expertise to solving real-world challenges—whether it’s predicting customer behaviour, optimising operations, or identifying patterns in complex datasets.


You’ll collaborate with experienced data scientists, machine learning engineers, and subject-matter experts to design, develop, and deploy models that deliver meaningful impact across a variety of industries.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Designing and building machine learning models to solve real-world problems
  • Carrying out full data science workflows: from data acquisition and cleaning to modelling, validation, and deployment
  • Applying statistical and AI techniques to generate actionable insights
  • Contributing to experimental research, model prototyping, and A/B testing
  • Presenting findings clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Collaborating across data science, engineering, and product teams to build scalable solutions
  • Staying current with advancements in machine learning and AI, and contributing new ideas to internal R&D discussions


What We’re Looking For:

  • A recently completed Master’s degree from a Russell Group university in Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or a related discipline
  • Strong programming skills in Python (e.g. NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib); R is also welcome
  • A solid understanding of core machine learning concepts, data wrangling, and model evaluation
  • Proficiency with SQL and experience handling large datasets
  • A passion for solving complex problems using data and a continuous learning mindset
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills
  • Full right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role)


Desirable (Not Essential):

  • Familiarity with deep learning frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch)
  • Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Experience with experimental design, research methods, or academic publishing
  • Understanding of MLOps, version control (Git), or containerisation (e.g. Docker)


Benefits:

💰 Competitive Salary & Bonus: £35,000 – £45,000 plus bonus

🏡 Hybrid Working: A flexible mix of office and remote work

📈 Career Growth: Structured professional development, mentorship, and training opportunities

🛠 Modern Tech Stack: Work with the latest tools in data science, AI, and analytics

🤝 Collaborative Culture: Be part of a supportive and innovative team

✨ Additional Perks: Pension scheme, private healthcare, and wellbeing initiatives


How to Apply:

Please apply with your most up-to-date CV and we will be in touch ASAP to arrange an initial call.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

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.
