How you'll be contributing to Accurx as a Senior Data Scientist...

As a Senior Data Scientist you’ll be working within the product community to identify key product improvements and support the product strategy & the roadmap: you’ll be solving real world problems and building a product that is going to impact every single person in the UK!

You’ll use statistical and machine learning techniques to analyse data and develop models to understand key drivers and you’ll lead experimentation design to improve the product experience of our users.

You’ll lead projects to explore and extract valuable information from our data and work closely with the product teams to advise on data collection improvements.

You’ll help drive the maturity of the Data Science & Analytics sub team by setting the foundation needed to move our analysis capabilities from descriptive & diagnostic to predictive & prescriptive.

Your day to day tasks, should you choose to accept this mission ...

  • Solve problems adaptively and value rigour and simplicity over complicated solutions
  • Make appropriate trade-offs between speed and accuracy as you’ll be working in a fast-moving environment
  • Code for scalability, creating re-usable scripts and utilities that brings data science as a discipline to the next level
  • Work closely with Product Managers supporting and suggesting experiments, time series forecasting and building predictive models (including ML)
  • Code for privacy & security, keeping our users and patients privacy and security in mind all the time and suggesting processes and technologies for anonymisation
  • Work closely with Product leads in designing and validating success metrics as well as helping them to measure progress and align with the business objectives (OKRs setting)

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
