The Role


As a Scientific Software Developer within the Data Science team, you'll provide essential software engineering support focused on data applications and systems. Your work will involve:


  • Engaging with Data:Handle data from advanced aerodynamic testing environments, including wind tunnels, computational fluid dynamics, and on-track testing. Collaborate with the Vehicle Performance Group (VPG) to delve into data from race tracks and simulation settings.


  • Software Development:Design, develop, and optimise software applications and tools tailored to the needs of their data pipelines.


  • Algorithm Creation:Develop algorithms that transform raw data into actionable insights, directly influencing data-driven decisions.


  • Coding Excellence:Oversee and enforce coding standards and best practices within the data science group to ensure high-quality, maintainable code.


  • Collaborative Problem-Solving:Work closely with data scientists, engineers, and stakeholders to understand requirements and translate them into effective software solutions.


-----


Your Profile


  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related field. Advanced degrees or coursework in a scientific discipline are advantageous.


  • Proven experience in software development within data-intensive environments.


  • Proficiency in Python and its scientific computing libraries (NumPy, SciPy, pandas, scikit-learn) is essential, as well as knowledge of Parallel and High Performance Computing.


  • Experience in creating algorithms to derive insights from data and developing robust data pipelines for efficient processing, storage, and retrieval.


  • Adept at quickly understanding and addressing software or computer science challenges, grasping underlying mechanics to create effective solutions.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
