Transform Defence Data into actionable insights: Integrate and streamline data for real-time operational success
Drawing on a strong technical skillset in data science, data analytics, and information systems, you will work directly with our Defence customers to help them extract valuable insights from their data, to inform critical operational decision-making. You will be responsible for integrating and processing data from multiple systems and ensuring it is accessible and actionable within our platform and meet the needs of military users. Your work will involve using low-code/no-code tools to design and manage data workflows, performing data transformations, and occasionally scripting in Python to handle more complex tasks.

  • Experience:

    • Proven experience in a data integration or system integration role.
    • Experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure) is a plus.


  • Soft Skills:

    • Strong problem-solving skills and attention to detail.
    • Excellent communication and collaboration abilities.
    • Ability to work independently and manage multiple tasks simultaneously.


  • Educational background: Bachelor’s degree in computer science, Information Technology, Data Science, or a related field, or equivalent work experience.

This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

Why Data Science Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Data science once meant advanced statistics, machine learning models and coding in Python or R. In the UK today, it has become one of the most in-demand professions across sectors — from healthcare to finance, retail to government. But as the field matures, employers now expect more than technical modelling skills. Modern data science is multidisciplinary. It requires not just coding and algorithms, but also legal knowledge, ethical reasoning, psychological insight, linguistic clarity and human-centred design. Data scientists are expected to interpret, communicate and apply data responsibly, with awareness of law, human behaviour and accessibility. In this article, we’ll explore why data science careers in the UK are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these five disciplines intersect with data science, and what job-seekers & employers need to know to succeed in this transformed field.
