Geospatial Data Scientist

Location: Greater London, England, United Kingdom


Oceyon AG is a Swiss-based maritime exploration company dedicated to the compliant, technology-driven recovery of high-value underwater assets, while contributing to maritime archaeology and ocean conservation. We operate at the intersection of history, innovation, and compliance, working with governments, cargo owners, and cultural institutions to ensure every mission is legally and ethically executed.


Role Overview

We are seeking a motivated and talented Geospatial Data Scientist to join our growing technology team. This role is ideal for a junior data scientist / AI engineer with 2–3 years of experience, a strong technical foundation, and the ambition to contribute to cutting‑edge technology development.


The ideal candidate combines data science expertise, software engineering capability, and a geoscience mindset, enabling them to analyse complex datasets, build AI/ML models, and support the further development of our proprietary algorithms. This role offers a unique opportunity to shape our technical roadmap and collaborate closely with senior engineers and domain specialists.


Key Responsibilities

  • Develop, implement, and maintain AI and machine learning algorithms in collaboration with the tech team.
  • Use GIS software (e.g., ArcGIS, QGIS, or similar) to manage, visualize, and analyze spatial data.
  • Perform data analysis and data modelling across geoscience, engineering, and operational datasets.
  • Process, clean, and structure geospatial datasets and integrate them into analytical workflows.
  • Build and optimise data pipelines and preprocessing workflows for geospatial and non‑geospatial data.
  • Conduct exploratory data analysis (EDA) to derive insights and support product development.
  • Develop prototypes and proof‑of‑concept models for algorithmic innovations.
  • Work closely with software engineers to integrate algorithms into production environments.
  • Document models, workflows, geospatial analyses, and methodologies.
  • Support continuous improvement of our models, geospatial data architecture, and analytical tools.

Qualifications & Profile

  • Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, artificial intelligence, data science, geoscience, engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 2–3 years of experience in data science, data analytics, or applied AI/ML engineering.
  • Strong programming skills in Python, ideally with ML libraries (NumPy, pandas, SciKit‑Learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch).
  • Experience with GIS tools (ArcGIS, QGIS) and geospatial data formats.
  • Solid understanding of machine learning, statistics, and data modelling.
  • Experience building data pipelines and working with large structured and unstructured datasets.
  • Familiarity with geoscience, remote sensing, or industrial/engineering datasets (a strong plus).
  • Knowledge of software engineering principles, version control (Git), and model/API deployment.
  • Strong analytical mindset and clear communication skills.

What We Offer

  • A unique opportunity to shape technology and data science in a pioneering maritime exploration company.
  • Direct impact on our technology stack, AI algorithm and data analytics portfolio.
  • Dynamic, international team of entrepreneurs, technologists, and explorers.
  • Competitive compensation with attractive incentive.

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.
