Senior Data Science Engineer (Applied Data Science / SAAS)

Location: Hybrid - 2 days per week in either Hampshire or Worcestershire
Salary: £50,000 - £55,000 (DOE)

Are you a hands-on data scientist who loves turning messy data into actionable insight? Do you enjoy building practical data solutions and working across teams to bring data-driven products to life?

We're looking for a Senior Data Science Engineer to help shape a growing data capability within a well-established and ambitious tech organisation. You'll play a key role in designing and delivering data-driven products, contributing to model development, analytics tools and scalable pipelines that drive insight and innovation.

You'll collaborate with engineers, analysts and stakeholders to solve real business problems using a blend of data science, analytics engineering and applied machine learning. This is a broad and flexible role, ideal for someone who's worked across the data science lifecycle and enjoys both experimentation and delivery.

Key responsibilities include:

Building and refining models to support decision-making and customer insight
Designing and developing analytics tools and pipelines for internal and external use
Supporting productionisation of models and analytical workflows
Promoting best practices in reproducible, ethical and explainable data science
Exploring new technologies and techniques to evolve the data offeringWhat We're Looking For

Strong experience in a Data Science or Machine Learning role
Proficient in Python and SQL, with a solid grasp of data wrangling, modelling and validation
Comfortable working with varied datasets and translating findings for non-technical audiences
Understanding of modern data workflows (version control, notebooks, testing, etc.)
Strong communicator with a practical, delivery-focused mindsetNice to have:

Experience deploying or supporting ML models (e.g. regression, classification, recommendation)
Familiarity with ML/DS libraries such as scikit-learn, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, or similar
Exposure to cloud platforms (Azure preferred), APIs or data servicesPlease note: Visa sponsorship is unfortunately not available for this role. Applicants must have the right to work in the UK.

If you're excited about solving real-world problems with data, enjoy working across disciplines and want a role where you can have real impact then we'd love to hear from you.

The Future of Data Science Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Data science has rapidly become one of the most influential disciplines of the digital age. Once a niche combination of statistics and computing, it is now central to how organisations innovate, compete, and grow. From healthcare and finance to retail, logistics, and government, data science is reshaping decision-making across every sector. In the UK, data science has grown into a core career pathway. Salaries are competitive, demand continues to rise, and roles now extend far beyond analytics into artificial intelligence, machine learning, and predictive modelling. Yet as technologies evolve, many of the most important data science careers of the future don’t exist today. This article explores why entirely new roles will emerge, the kinds of careers that may appear, how existing jobs will evolve, why the UK is well placed to lead, and what professionals can do to prepare for this transformation.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Data Science Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's data science sector has matured into one of Europe's most intellectually rewarding and financially attractive technology markets, with roles spanning from junior data analysts to principal data scientists and heads of artificial intelligence. With data science positions commanding salaries from £30,000 for graduate data analysts to £140,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this intellectually stimulating and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional analytical roles, data science hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by business intelligence cycles, research funding schedules, and machine learning project timelines. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, business impact requirements, and cutting-edge technology adoption creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in extracting insights from tomorrow's data. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for data science job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise analytics strategies, academic research cycles, and artificial intelligence initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a pioneering AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of intelligent systems.

Pre-Employment Checks for Data Science Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in data science reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of statistical analysis, machine learning innovation, and strategic business intelligence. Data scientists often have privileged access to comprehensive datasets, proprietary algorithms, and business-critical insights that form the foundation of organisational strategy and competitive positioning. The data science industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning GDPR, sector-specific data protection requirements, and emerging AI governance regulations. Data scientists must demonstrate not only technical competence in statistical modelling and machine learning but also deep understanding of research ethics, data privacy principles, and the societal implications of algorithmic decision-making. Modern data science roles frequently involve analysing personally identifiable information, financial data, healthcare records, and sensitive business intelligence across multiple jurisdictions and regulatory frameworks simultaneously. The combination of analytical privilege, predictive capabilities, and strategic influence makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, security, and public trust in data-driven insights and automated systems.
