  • Ability to build scalable AI workflows and deploy them via APIs or web apps (e.g., FastAPI, Streamlit, Flask).
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and MLOps best practices.
  • Excellent communication skills with the ability to translate technical solutions into business impact.
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with prompt tuning, few-shot learning, or LoRA-based fine-tuning.
  • Knowledge of data privacy and security considerations in GenAI applications.
  • Familiarity with enterprise architecture, SDLC, or building GenAI use cases in regulated domains (e.g., finance, insurance, healthcare).
As part of a leading global analytics and digital solutions company, you can look forward to
  • A competitive salary with private healthcare, critical illness life assurance at 4 x your annual salary, income protection insurance, and a rewarding pension.

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.
