Indeximate

Indeximate is a rapidly growing VC backed startup focussed on reducing the barriers to net zero using the fantastic wealth of data that can be obtained using fibre optic sensing. We are permanently instrumenting subsea power cables that provide us with our vital electricity supplies and are using this data to reduce the risks of these cables failing.


Our data has a myriad of other uses: monitoring the environment and the weather, mobility of the seabed, tracking marine mammals, detecting vessels and much more. One of our our core goals is liberating these multiple measurements and delivering low cost sensing as a service direct to the desktop. Our existing IP in data compression and analysis is the foundation of this wide future - we are looking for candidates to help us rapidly grow this vision.


What are the role responsibilities?

The role is split between delivering insight to existing customer projects and commercially driven R&D into next generation data products. You will augment our automated workflows by processing vast volumes of data using in-house tools to obtain an understanding of the state of cables and the local environment, providing meaningful output for clients. You will be responsible for assembling and presenting reports both internally and externally.


You will assist with the development of algorithms used to extract insight from the data records. This will involve investigating different approaches, developing successful avenues and testing before implementation. Machine learning and alternative data compression techniques are additional topics to be explored in this role.


Key Accountabilities

·         Process Indeximated data from commercial jobs to extract cable health metrics

·         Assemble processed data and interpretation of the data into report format for clients

·         Investigate new methods of extracting useful metrics from the data

·         Check on installations (remotely and in person as needed) and ensure all is running smoothly

·         Present data at conferences and customer meetings

·         Developing machine learning and data compression techniques to improve our product

·         Contribute to the test data set

·         Innovating on behalf of the company


Your Experience & Qualifications

You will be a UK citizen holding a graduate or extended degree in a relevant subject (Data science, Physics, computer science, Maths etc) ideally with some additional industrial experience. We expect candidates to demonstrate competence in:


·         Understanding of Physics, especially acoustics and acoustic signal propagation

·         Physics based modelling

·         Evidence of manipulation and processing of large datasets


We welcome applications from part time amd full time workers. The role will involve regular low frequency travel.


Your Skills

We are a Physics based data science company and this role is at the deep but junior end of that experience and we expect that candidates will have a good grasp of physics and signal processing, in addition we'd love to hear from candidates with good knowledge & skills in:

·         Demonstrable ability to solve data analysis problems with Matlab, Python or similar

·         Show ability to implement and test new algorithmic concepts

·         Used data compression and machine learning in real applications

·         Good communication and presentation skills

·         Comfortable with remote working

·         Comfortable with regular travel to meetings (internal and external) and conferences as required

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
