Who are we looking for?
You enjoy working on complex data problems whilst being able to suggest simple (yet effective) solutions. You are comfortable working with uncertainty and like to make things clearer. You’re passionate about technology and keep up as it evolves. You focus on the future and thrive most when solving problems. Clients love working with you. You are honest and do things when you say you will, and you also know how to explain things clearly and concisely. You can educate and inspire. You’ve got a background in data science, machine learning algorithms, and data engineering along with their technologies. You’re equally comfortable presenting to clients, providing advice, or building prototypes. You’re a collaborator and enjoy stepping out of your role from time to time, whether it’s to support your clients, colleagues, or to learn something new.
What might you be doing?
Leading client projects and providing subject matter expertise.
Working in scrum-like environments for iterative and ‘fail-fast’ work and innovation.
Assessing your clients’ business and technical needs with the ability to identify opportunities for data science to be used and managing clients’ stakeholders’ relationships appropriately.
Solving problems using data science techniques in a scientifically robust fashion.
Identifying data sources that are relevant to client needs and related data science concepts that leverage those sources to aid the client.
Working with various forms of data (e.g., unstructured, semi-structured, or structured; text, time-series, or image) and suitably modeling them (e.g., table, key-value pair, graph) for efficient data science use.
Investigating and analyzing data to see ‘the wood from the trees’ and drilling down to the ‘whys’ of the data.
Applying statistical and evidence-based techniques to inform insights and actions from the data.
Communicating technical content at the right level both internally and to customers.
Presenting to the client, using data science tooling and investigation, a ‘story’ of the data.
Building maintainable code that uses existing data science libraries, implements existing data science techniques, or implements novel techniques.
Designing, evaluating, and implementing on-premise, cloud-based, and hybrid data science and machine learning techniques and algorithms (including providing relevant review and guidance on testing aspects, identification of risks, and proposing and implementing their mitigations).
Developing scalable models and algorithms that can be deployed into production environments.
Applying ethical principles in handling data.
Accurately delivering high-quality work to agreed timelines and taking the initiative and knowing how to jump straight in.
Supporting client engagements, including pitches and presentations.
Helping to support & grow Daintta by actively inputting into the company strategy and helping to shape our future.
Representing us and our core values: transparent, fair, and daring.
Sounds like something you’d enjoy? Here’s a bit more about you:
You have 5+ years of degree-level industry experience in data science.
You have extensive degree-level experience in a STEM subject.
You have experience of working in a consultancy, engineering, or data industry.
You have led client delivery across a range of projects, including data science, data engineering, data security, and proven experience in relevant technologies (e.g., Python applied to data science).
You have experience working on cloud-based infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
You have demonstrable continuous personal development.
You have strong interpersonal skills.
You have experience with using CI/CD tooling to analyze, build, test, and deploy your code and proven experience in their technologies.
You have experience in database technologies (e.g., SQL, NoSQL such as Elasticsearch and Graph databases).
You have a good understanding of coding best practices and design patterns and experience with code and data versioning, dependency management, code quality and optimization, error handling, logging, monitoring, validation, and alerting.
Location?
Hybrid, with 2-3 days working from Daintta office (London or Cheltenham) or on client site as required.
What’s in it for you?
You will be joining the company at Daintta "Manager" grade. In addition to being rewarded fairly for your contribution to the business, you get to work in a dynamic organisation that is agile and responsive. A business that is growing fast and where you get to drive and shape the future. A place where you are respected by everyone and your voice is important. Somewhere where you can be innovative and creative. A place where you have the opportunity to learn about all aspects of business from marketing to sales, to delivery and business operations.
Time to tell you about us!
We are Daintta. We provide deep expertise with technical and business specialists to help clients and organisations secure and protect the UK.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Machine Learning Skills in 2025/26

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most in-demand career paths in technology. From predicting customer behaviour in retail to detecting fraud in banking and enabling medical breakthroughs in healthcare, ML is transforming industries across the UK and beyond. But here’s the truth: employers don’t just want candidates who have read about machine learning in textbooks. They want evidence that you can actually build, train, and deploy models. That means practising with real tools, working with real datasets, and solving real problems. The good news is that you don’t need to pay for expensive software or courses to get started. A wide range of free, open-source tools and platforms allow you to learn machine learning skills hands-on. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for advanced roles, you can practise everything from simple linear regression to deploying deep learning models — at no cost. In this guide, we’ll explore the best free tools and platforms to practise machine learning skills in 2025, and how to use them effectively to build a portfolio that UK employers will notice.

Top 10 Skills in Machine Learning According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Machine learning (ML) is at the forefront of innovation, powering systems in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and beyond in the UK. As organisations leverage ML for predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent systems, demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow. So, which skills are most in demand? Drawing on insights from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article outlines the Top 10 machine learning skills UK employers are looking for in 2025. You'll learn how to demonstrate these capabilities through your CV, interviews, and real-world projects.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.
