Mindgard is a London-based startup specializing in AI security. Our mission is to secure the future of AI Applications against cyber attacks. We've spun-out from a leading UK university after a decade of R&D, and are among the first few companies globally to offer solutions to this rapidly growing problem.


Mindgard's automated AI red teaming product helps security testers test for, identify and remediate vulnerabilities in AI applications. 


Mindgard probes AI applications and uses a set of techniques, including Predictive AI, LLMs, and other algorithms to identify security-relevant attributes within application responses.


Role & Responsibilities

We're looking for an experienced Data Scientist to join our automated red teaming product team to enhance data insights and accuracy.


In this role you will: 


  • Analyze the accuracy of our techniques for classifying results and identifying vulnerabilities
  • Evaluate the relative merits of alternative approaches identified by the team. 
  • Identify and develop further improved methods for classifying results and identifying vulnerabilities.
  • Identify new insights and visualisations from our data that would benefit our customers.
  • Design and implement improvements to data pipelines and labelling systems that facilitate ongoing quality.
  • Advise the engineering team on good data engineering and data science practices. 
  • Work with the wider engineering team to implement your proposals. 
  • Clearly communicate complex data insights to less technical colleagues. 


Skills & Experience

We're looking for people who are:


  • Highly competent at statistical analysis.  
  • Experienced in Data Science and Data Engineering roles
  • Proficient with SQL and Python.
  • Experienced with using and managing data created by Generative AI
  • Experienced at building ML models
  • Comfortable working with cloud platforms like AWS/GCP/Azure
  • Able to provision and operate infrastructure you require



Before you go, we want you to know!


Studies have shown that some groups of people are less likely to apply to a role unless they meet 100% of the job requirements. Whoever you are, if you don't meet all of the above criteria, but you think you'd be a great addition to Mindgard, we encourage you to apply as you might just be the candidate we hire. Our people are our strongest asset and the unique skills and perspectives people bring to the team are the driving force of our success. As an equal opportunity employer, we do not discriminate on the basis of any protected attribute. Our commitment is to provide equal opportunities, an inclusive work environment, and fairness for everyone.

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

Advertising data science jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

New Data Science Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and International Companies Leading Analytics and AI Innovation

Data science has emerged as one of the most transformative forces across industries, turning raw information into actionable insights, predictive models, and AI-powered solutions. In 2026, the UK is witnessing a surge in organisations where data science is not just a support function but the core of their products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.DataScience-Jobs.co.uk , identifying these employers early can provide a competitive advantage in a market with high demand for advanced analytics and machine learning expertise. This article highlights new and high-growth data science employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK startups, scale-ups, and global firms expanding their data science operations locally. All of the companies included have recently raised investment, won high-profile contracts, or significantly scaled their analytics teams.

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.
