Senior Data Scientist

Valerann is an exciting, rapidly growing AI mobility scale-up based in London and Tel-Aviv. We are a diverse and driven team that is making the road-based transport sector safer, greener, and more equitable through our unique AI and data analytics platform.

We work with governments and the world's largest road operators to make our roads safer, greener, and less congested. Our product already serves roads in Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East and helps road traffic authorities to have a good understanding of real-time traffic conditions and risks.

We do that through data—a lot of data. Our algorithms constantly ingest and process very large sets of structured and unstructured data coming from a broad range of disparate data sources, including connected vehicles, cameras, and crowdsourcing platforms. Our know-how is in deep Data Fusion and Analytics. Our passion is to empower our customers with the tools to use that data to make our journeys safer and greener.

We have made tremendous progress to date, and we need your help to support our growth. We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to be part of our Data Fusion development effort. Your responsibilities will include:

  1. Enhancing automation in our data pipelines
  2. Integrating new data sources (traffic/weather/etc.)
  3. Quantifying the value of new and existing data services
  4. Taking an active role in defining future priorities
  5. Providing guidance to junior members of the team
  6. Working on project-specific tasks

You will also have the opportunity to engage in the wider research and development activities, especially in the data fusion area.

Who Are We Looking For?

We will review all candidates regardless of whether you think you match all of the items below. That said, the ideal candidate would have:

  1. Experience of working in a research and rapid prototyping environment.
  2. Experience with developing real-time algorithms.
  3. Technical fluency in Python and experience with optimising SQL.
  4. Robust Software Engineering skills with experience with writing and debugging production code.
  5. An ability to create a compelling narrative through Data Visualisation.
  6. Experience with GIS Vector Data.
  7. Passion for tackling data challenges in the mobility space.
  8. Availability to start soon (we understand notice periods may vary).
  9. Willingness to come into our London office in Camden — at least twice a week to begin with.

Data Science Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK data science hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise rigorous problem framing, high‑quality analytics & modelling, experiment/causality, production awareness (MLOps), governance/ethics, and measurable product or commercial impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for product/data scientists, applied ML scientists, decision scientists, econometricians, growth/marketing analysts, and ML‑adjacent data scientists supporting LLM/AI products. Who this is for: Product/decision/data scientists, applied ML scientists, econometrics & causal inference specialists, experimentation leads, analytics engineers crossing into DS, ML generalists with strong statistics, and data scientists collaborating with platform/MLOps teams in the UK.

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.

Data Science Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Data Science Department

Data science is one of the most in-demand, dynamic, and multidisciplinary areas in the UK tech and business landscape. Organisations from finance, retail, health, government, and beyond are using data to drive decisions, automate processes, personalise services, predict trends, detect fraud, and more. To do that well, companies don’t just need good data scientists; they need teams with clearly defined roles, responsibilities, workflows, collaboration, and governance. If you're aiming for a role in data science or recruiting for one, understanding the structure of a data science department—and who does what—can make all the difference. This article breaks down the key roles, how they interact across the lifecycle of a data science project, what skills and qualifications are typical in the UK, expected salary ranges, challenges, trends, and how to build or grow an effective team.
