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

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. 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.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
