Senior Data Scientist:


If you want a job where you actively shape how a data function operates — and directly define how your own role evolves as the company grows — this is it.

Xcede has started working with a fast-growing leader in their emerging category of continuous AI auditing and independent model oversight. This AI trust & governance company want a senior data scientist to set the technical benchmarks used to assess the performance, reliability, and risk of mission-critical AI systems.


This role brings together bias assessment, robust quantitative analysis, and practical insight into how real-world evaluation processes work. You’ll likely join with deep expertise in one area and build strength across the others over time, giving you the ability to influence how methodologies are designed, outcomes are interpreted, customer guidance is delivered, and product decisions align with a rapidly changing AI accountability environment.


You’ll collaborate closely with technical leadership and those responsible for shaping the platform, contributing across in-depth investigative work, evaluation design, and strategic decision-making. Your work will raise the quality bar for analytical practice, reinforce confidence in their approach, and help define what robust, defensible AI assessment looks like in real-world use.


Requirements:

• A solid academic foundation in a relevant field

• more than five years of senior professional experience

• Strong in Python

• At ease working both in detail and in areas that are not yet fully defined

• Strong communicator

• Works effectively with others while taking clear ownership of outcomes

• Able to interpret details within their broader operational and business context

• Driven by the opportunity to make a meaningful difference through their work

• demonstrated depth across at least 2 of the following areas:

-Hands-on work evaluating and mitigating systematic risk within deployed AI models, including assessment techniques that support transparent and defensible outcomes

- Experience working with people-focused data in decision-making contexts, including evaluating outcomes, assessing differential effects, and supporting evidence-based assessment approaches

- Proven experience applying robust quantitative methods in environments where analytical decisions carry significant risk, with a strong command of statistical reasoning and repeatable analysis practices

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.

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.
