* Implement automated testing frameworks and tools to improve testing efficiency and coverage.
* Collaborate with developers to identify, reproduce, and resolve defects.
* Performance Testing
* Design and implement performance testing strategies to validate the scalability, reliability, and performance of our applications.
* Use performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling) to simulate user load and identify performance bottlenecks.
* Analyze performance test results and provide detailed feedback and recommendations for improvement.
* Work with development and operations teams to optimize application performance and ensure it meets our standards and SLAs.
* Resiliency Testing
* Develop and execute resiliency testing plans to ensure our applications can withstand and recover from unexpected failures and disruptions.
* Implement chaos engineering principles and tools (e.g., Chaos Monkey, Gremlin) to test the robustness of our systems.
* Collaborate with development and operations teams to identify vulnerabilities and implement strategies to improve system resiliency.
* Artificial Intelligence
* Develop and execute testing strategies for AI and machine learning models to ensure their accuracy, reliability, and robustness.
* Collaborate with data scientists and AI engineers to validate model performance and ensure they meet business requirements.
* Implement monitoring and validation techniques to ensure AI models continue to perform well in production environments.
* Continuous Improvement
* Continuously evaluate and improve our testing processes, tools, and methodologies to ensure high standards of quality and efficiency.
* Stay updated with industry trends, best practices, and emerging technologies in quality engineering, AI, and cloud computing.
* Provide mentorship and guidance to junior quality engineers and contribute to the overall growth and development of the QA team.

Qualifications:
* Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field.
* At least 5 years of experience in quality assurance and performance testing.
* Strong expertise in AWS services and cloud-based applications.
* Experience with AI and machine learning testing.
* Proficiency in automated testing tools and frameworks (e.g., Selenium, JUnit, TestNG).
* Experience with performance testing tools (e.g., JMeter, LoadRunner, Gatling).
* Understanding of chaos engineering principles and tools (e.g., Chaos Monkey, Gremlin).
* Excellent analytical, problem-solving, and communication skills.
* Ability to work collaboratively in a fast-paced, agile environment.
* Strong attention to detail and commitment to quality.

Preferred Skills:
* Advanced certifications in AWS and related technologies.

Contract vs Permanent Data Science Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Data science sits at the intersection of statistics, machine learning, and domain expertise, driving crucial business decisions in almost every sector. As UK organisations leverage AI for predictive analytics, customer insights, and automation, data scientists have become some of the most in-demand professionals in the tech job market. By 2025, data scientists with expertise in deep learning, natural language processing (NLP), and MLOps are commanding top-tier compensation packages. However, deciding whether to become a day‑rate contractor, a fixed-term contract (FTC) employee, or a permanent member of an organisation can be challenging. Each path offers a unique blend of earning potential, career progression, and work–life balance. This guide will walk you through the UK data science job market in 2025, examine the differences between these three employment models, present sample take‑home pay scenarios, and offer strategic considerations to help you determine the best fit for your career.

Data Science Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Beyond Jupyter Notebooks Ask most people what a data‑science career looks like and they’ll picture Python wizards optimising XGBoost hyper‑parameters. The truth? Britain’s data‑driven firms need storytellers, strategists, ethicists and project leaders every bit as much as they need statisticians. The Open Data Institute’s UK Data Skills Gap 2024 places demand for non‑technical data talent at 42 % of all data‑science vacancies—roles focused on turning model outputs into business value and trustworthy decisions. This guide highlights the fastest‑growing non‑coding roles, the transferable skills many professionals already have, and a 90‑day action plan to land a data‑science job—no pandas required.
