About the role:

This is a hybrid role that combines Data Engineering and Data Science, with a strong focus on applying AI in practical ways. You’ll be responsible for everything from ingesting and transforming data to building dashboards, running experiments, and deploying lightweight AI-powered solutions into production.
You’ll work directly with the product and operations teams to solve real business problems fast — with full autonomy and a mandate to make things happen.

Important: This is not an academic AI/ML role. You won’t be building LLMs from scratch. Instead, you’ll use off-the-shelf models, prompt engineering, and smart automation to drive outcomes.

Main responsibilities:

🔧 Data Engineering



  • Maintain and evolve pipelines (BigQuery + dbt)
  • Design and manage ETL/ELT workflows, including API ingestion (e.g. Monday, HubSpot)
  • Build data marts, internal views, and support dashboarding
  • Ensure clean, well-documented, and reliable data flows












📊 Data Science & Analytics


  • Own deep-dive analysis (e.g. On-Time Delivery %, NCR trends, quote conversion)
  • Collaborate with ops/product to identify high-leverage data opportunities
  • Design and analyze A/B tests
  • Create dashboards and datasets for sales, quality, and production teams












🤖 Applied AI (Using Existing Models)


  • Apply LLMs (e.g. GPT, Claude, Gemini) to workflows and internal tools
  • Fine-tune or prompt models for tasks like:
  • NCR root cause suggestions
  • Supplier performance classification
  • Delivery risk flagging
  • Deploy lightweight APIs using FastAPI or Flask (GCP Cloud Run + Docker)















Experience Required:


  • Direct, hands-on experience with GCP (BigQuery, Vertex AI, Cloud Run)
  • Strong SQL complex querying
  • Python  for analytics, backend logic, and model prototyping
  • Familiarity with LLM APIs, prompt engineering, embeddings, and traditional ML (e.g. XGBoost, scikit-learn)
  • Comfortable deploying tools using Docker, Flask/FastAPI, and GCP services
  • Ability to work independently and iterate quickly toward high-quality outcomes
  • Full-stack data capability, from pipelines to dashboards to AI-powered APIs
  • Hands-on, impact-driven, and solution-oriented approach
  • Experience applying existing ML/LLM tools to automate or enhance workflows
  • Ability to thrive in lean teams and take full ownership of the data domain


Desired experience:


  • Experience with Metabase and dbt
  • Familiarity with manufacturing, logistics, or supplier operations
  • Experience building internal agents, dashboards, or automation tools
  • Light exposure to data governance or compliance
  • Interest in working at the intersection of manufacturing, data, and AI


Benefits:


  • Working directly with the leadership team
  • High growth /high impact position
  • Competitive Salary: We offer pay that reflects your skills and the value you bring.
  • Stocked Kitchen: Enjoy snacks, fresh fruit, and drinks all day.
  • 23 Days Annual Leave: Recharge with 23 days off, plus bank holidays.
  • Birthday Off: Take an extra day to celebrate your birthday.
  • Christmas Shutdown: Relax over the holidays with additional company-wide time off.
  • Pet-Friendly Office: Bring your dog to our pet-friendly workspace.
  • Team Events: Connect with colleagues through monthly team-building activities.
  • Career Growth: Benefit from our focus on internal promotions and development.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme: Save on commuting, reduce emissions, and stay active.
  • Expanding Perks: Look forward to more benefits as we grow

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.
