We're always on the lookout for talented individualswhose principles and interests align with our own. While we don'thave a specific vacancy open at the moment, by registering yourinterest for the Senior Data Scientist Talent Pool, you'll be amongthe first to hear about job openings in our Frontier Team thatalign with your experience when they go live. What you'll be doing:As a Senior Data Scientist within Frontier, you will lead the datascience work on project teams that are configuring our productFrontier for our customers. Each deployment of Frontier requires acomputational twin, essentially an AI-powered digital twin, to bebuilt, and it is primarily the responsibility of our datascientists to both design and then build these computational twins.Whilst doing this well is partly about building familiarity withFrontier’s development interfaces, it’s mainly about doing thingsthat are critical in any applied data science role; namely deeplyunderstanding the core customer problem in order to ensure that thetechnical solution can drive value. In terms of more technicalactivities, the build of a computational twin involves a bunch oftasks common to all data science work such as EDA, model building,and model evaluation. In terms of other activities you’ll do in therole: - You’ll be a leader within a cross-functional delivery team,working closely with engineers, designers, and commercial roles todeliver value to customers. Working closely with the leads of theseother functions you’ll ultimately be responsible for the successfuldelivery. - You will help our excellent commercial team buildstrong relationships with clients, shaping the direction of bothcurrent and future projects. - You will play an important role inthe development of other data scientists at Faculty throughactivity management and potentially line management of others. Whowe're looking for: - Senior experience in either a professionaldata science position or a quantitative academic field - Strongpython programming skills as evidenced by earlier work in datascience or software engineering. - An excellent command of thebasic libraries for data science (e.g. NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-Learn)and familiarity with a deep-learning framework (e.g. TensorFlow,PyTorch, Caffe) - A high level of mathematical competence andproficiency in statistics - A solid grasp of essentially all of thestandard data science techniques, for example,supervised/unsupervised machine learning, model cross validation,Bayesian inference, time-series analysis, simple NLP, effective SQLdatabase querying, or using/writing simple APIs for models. Weregard the ability to develop new algorithms when an innovativesolution is needed as a fundamental skill - A leadership mindsetfocussed on growing the technical capabilities of the team; acaring attitude towards the personal and professional developmentof other data scientists; enthusiasm for nurturing a collaborativeand dynamic culture - An appreciation for the scientific method asapplied to the commercial world; a talent for converting businessproblems into a mathematical framework; resourcefulness inovercoming difficulties through creativity and commitment; arigorous mindset in evaluating the performance and impact of modelsupon deployment - Some commercial experience, particularly if thisinvolved client-facing work or project management; eagerness towork alongside our clients; business awareness and an ability togauge the commercial value of projects; outstanding written andverbal communication skills; persuasiveness when presenting to alarge or important audience - Experience leading a team of datascientists (to deliver innovative work according to a stricttimeline) as well as experience in composing a project plan, inassessing its technical feasibility, and in estimating the time todelivery - A product mindset, able to understand the needs of usersand to learn how Frontier delivers them value What we can offeryou: The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all comefrom different personal, professional and organisationalbackgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by adeep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll besurrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working toachieve our collective goals. Our consultants, product developers,business development specialists, operations professionals and moreall bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn somethingnew from everyone you meet. #J-18808-Ljbffr

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
