Computer Vision Data Scientist

Remote (UK-based)

£80,000 + Bonus

The Opportunity

We’re supporting a growing technology business developing advanced AI systems that operate in complex, real-world environments.

Their work focuses on applying computer vision and machine learning to image and video data, solving challenging problems around detection, classification, and real-time analysis.

This is a great opportunity to work on systems where models are deployed into live environments, rather than purely research or offline use cases.

The Role

You’ll join a newly formed data science team, focusing on computer vision and image-based modelling.

The role is highly hands-on, working across the full lifecycle, from data and model development through to deployment, collaborating closely with software and engineering teams.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Developing and training computer vision models for detection and classification

* Working with image and video data from real-world environments

* Building and optimising object detection pipelines

* Handling large and complex datasets, including labelling and augmentation

* Improving performance for challenging scenarios (e.g. small or distant objects)

* Collaborating with engineers to deploy models into production systems

What They’re Looking For

* Strong experience in computer vision and deep learning

* Hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow

* Experience with object detection models (e.g. YOLO, Faster R-CNN, etc.)

* Strong Python programming skills

* Experience working with real-world image or video data

Nice to Have

* Experience with OpenCV or traditional image processing techniques

* Experience working with sensor or camera-based systems

* Exposure to real-time or edge deployment

* Experience with multi-spectral or infrared imagery

If this role looks a good fit, or you'd like to find out more about the business and their products, please apply directly.

You must be based in the UK to be eligible for this role

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
