£2.5 million seed funded Startup utilising Machine Learning

Data Scientist opportunity with a seed funded startup (£2.5 million), utilising machine learning technology to create up to 15% profit margin gains for clients in the entertainment industry.

You will join a small team of 2 in Data and a wider company of 14 employees. They are the type of business who enjoy discussing scientific research projects over lunch They plan on securing series A funding late this year.

They code in Python, and React on the Frontend. Tech & Data Science stack:

  • Kubernetes & Docker on Google Cloud
  • Python 3: Pandas, RabbitMQ, Celery, Flask, SciPy, NumPy, Dash, Plotly, Matplotlib
  • Javascript, React, Redux
  • PostgreSQL, Redis
  • Prometheus, Alert Manager, DataDog

If you joined the company in a Data Science role you would be working on sophisticated pricing algorithms which would enable companies in the entertainment industry to significantly increase profit margins.

You’ll use a raft of different techniques from timeseries analysis to bayesian statistics, reinforcement learning & Monte Carlo Simulations.

Your Experience:

  • You’ll likely come from a strong quantitative degree background in Science or Maths and have worked 2-4 years as a Data Scientist
  • You’ll have incredibly strong modelling skills but know when to be pragmatic to ensure the best business outcomes
  • You’ll be a coder in Python, C++ or Java
  • Experience of productionizing analytics code
  • pandas, scipy and numpy

If your a Data Scientist looking to go on an exciting new journey with an early stage startup, and the opportunity to work on advanced pricing algorithms is something that interests you, then this opportunity is for you.

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.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

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.
