Senior Data Scientist – AI & Intelligent Products

Location: Glasgow

Salary: Competitive

The Role

Data is our superpower—not just for insight, but for building intelligent, scalable products.

We’re looking for a Senior Data Scientist to drive commercial impact today through advanced analytics and experimentation, while leading our evolution into AI-powered products using modern Generative AI and search technologies.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role at the intersection of data science, machine learning, and Generative AI engineering. You’ll deliver immediate business value while helping us transition from a data-driven company into an AI-native product organisation.

You’ll work closely with product, commercial, and engineering teams to turn complex, text-heavy data into both actionable insights and production-grade AI solutions.

What You’ll Be Doing

Today: Driving Commercial Impact with Data

Lead end-to-end data science projects that deliver measurable business outcomes

Work hands-on with data analysis, modelling, and experimentation

Translate business challenges into analytical solutions and clear insights

Partner with stakeholders across commercial, product, and engineering teams

Embed data into decision-making across the organisation

Mentor and support a small team of Data Scientists

Evolving the Role: Building AI-Powered Capabilities

Design and develop AI-powered features such as assistants, copilots, and intelligent workflows

Build and deploy Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines

Apply NLP techniques to structure and unlock value from unstructured text

Develop semantic and hybrid search solutions (vector + keyword)

Work with LLM platforms (e.g. OpenAI, Claude, Bedrock) to create production-ready applications

Future State: Shaping Intelligent Products & Strategy

Help define how AI becomes embedded in our core product offering

Influence product strategy through data and AI capabilities

Contribute to scalable architecture for AI systems (search, retrieval, LLM orchestration)

Establish best practices for experimentation, evaluation, and model performance

Elevate the organisation from analytics-led to decision intelligence and AI-driven automation

What We’re Looking For

Core Data Science Expertise

Strong experience as a Data Scientist in a SaaS or data-rich environment

Proven track record of delivering commercially impactful solutions

Expertise in experimentation, statistical analysis, and modelling

Strong SQL and data manipulation skills

Experience with Elastic / Elasticsearch and observability tooling

Engineering & AI Capability

Strong Python skills and experience building data/ML pipelines

Experience developing APIs or production-grade systems

Hands-on exposure to LLMs and prompt engineering

Understanding of RAG architectures and NLP pipelines

Familiarity with search technologies (Elasticsearch, vector databases, or similar)

Collaboration & Influence

Excellent stakeholder management and communication skills

Ability to translate complex technical work into business value

Comfortable working cross-functionally across product, engineering, and commercial teams

Leadership & Growth

Experience mentoring or supporting junior team members

Interest in shaping standards, tools, and ways of working

Motivated by building both immediate impact and long-term capability

Docker, Kubernetes, or scalable deployment environments

Background in building AI-powered or search-driven products

Why Join Us?

Immediate impact: Deliver high-value data science work from day one

Future-facing: Help build real AI products—not just models in notebooks

Ownership: Shape both what we build and how we build it

Growth: Evolve into a key leader in AI and data strategy

Environment: Fast-moving, collaborative SME where data and AI are core to success

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.

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

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.
