Indeximate

Indeximate is a rapidly growing VC backed startup focussed on reducing the barriers to net zero using the fantastic wealth of data that can be obtained using fibre optic sensing. We are permanently instrumenting subsea power cables that provide us with our vital electricity supplies and are using this data to reduce the risks of these cables failing.


Our data has a myriad of other uses: monitoring the environment and the weather, mobility of the seabed, tracking marine mammals, detecting vessels and much more. One of our our core goals is liberating these multiple measurements and delivering low cost sensing as a service direct to the desktop. Our existing IP in data compression and analysis is the foundation of this wide future - we are looking for candidates to help us rapidly grow this vision.


What are the role responsibilities?

The role is split between commercially driven R&D into next generation data products and delivering insight to existing customer projects. Your insight will augment our automated workflows by processing vast volumes of data using in-house tools to obtain an understanding of the state of cables and the local environment, providing meaningful output for clients. You will be responsible for assembling and presenting reports both internally and externally. Another key responsibility is the development of algorithms used to extract insight from the data records. This will involve investigating different approaches, developing successful avenues and testing before implementation. Machine learning and alternative data compression techniques are additional topics to be explored in this role.


Key Accountabilities

·         Process Indeximated data from commercial jobs to extract cable health metrics

·         Assemble processed data and interpretation of the data into report format for clients

·         Investigate new methods of extracting useful metrics from the data

·         Check on installations (remotely and in person as needed) and ensure all is running smoothly

·         Present data at conferences and customer meetings

·         Developing machine learning and data compression techniques to improve our product

·         Contribute to the test data set

·         Innovating on behalf of the company


Your Experience & Qualifications

You will be a UK citizen holding a graduate or extended degree in a relevant subject (Data science, Physics, computer science, Maths etc) and have cemented those qualifications with three or more years of experience post degree and can provide a robust portfolio of evidence of your ability to manipulate and process large datasets. Additionally we expect candidates to demonstrate competence in:


·         Understanding of Physics, especially acoustics and acoustic signal propagation

·         Physics based modelling

·         Experience in IP generation

·         Driving Licence


We welcome applications from part time amd full time workers. The role will involve regular low frequency travel.


Your Skills

We are a Physics based data science company and this role is at the deep end of that experience and we expect that candidates will have a good grasp of physics and signal processing, in addition we'd love to hear from candidates with good knowledge & skills in:

·         Demonstrable ability to solve data analysis problems with Matlab, Python or similar

·         Show ability to implement and test new algorithmic concepts

·         Used data compression and machine learning in real applications

·         Good communication and presentation skills – suitable track record to be demonstrated

·         Comfortable with remote working

·         Comfortable with regular travel to meetings (internal and external) and conferences as required

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.

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.
