  2. 2-3 years of experience in machine learning, with a strong understanding of core ML algorithms and frameworks (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
  3. Hands-on experience with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model training for real-world problems.
  4. Strong Python and Java programming skills and familiarity with NLP algorithms and libraries.
  5. Solid understanding of basic statistics and how to apply it to real-world machine learning tasks.
  6. Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS) and Kubernetes for deploying and scaling models.
  7. A passion for solving problems with data and machine learning, always looking for ways to get things done quickly and effectively.
  8. A proactive, results-driven mindset—eager to take ownership of tasks and deliver value without waiting for direction.
  9. Ability to work independently, learn fast, and iterate without being bogged down by unnecessary processes.
  10. Fluent written and spoken English.

Preferred Requirements:
  1. Experience in a fast-paced SaaS or tech environment, with an emphasis on deploying ML models to production quickly.
  2. Knowledge of deep learning models and frameworks, and interest in exploring cutting-edge ML techniques.
  3. Experience working with large datasets and distributed computing environments.
  4. Excellent organisational, analytical and influencing skills, with proven ability to take initiative and build strong, productive relationships.
  5. Experience working with cross-functional teams within a software organisation.

Neurodiversity in Data Science Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Data science is all about turning messy, real-world information into decisions, products & insights. It sits at the crossroads of maths, coding, business & communication – which means it needs people who see patterns, ask unusual questions & challenge assumptions. That makes data science a natural fit for many neurodivergent people, including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & thinking about a data science career, you might have heard comments like “you’re too distracted for complex analysis”, “too literal for stakeholder work” or “too disorganised for large projects”. In reality, the same traits that can make traditional environments difficult often line up beautifully with data science work. This guide is written for data science job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a data science context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to common data science roles Practical workplace adjustments you can request under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in data science – & how to turn “different thinking” into a real career advantage.

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.
