Senior/Principal Data Scientist - Deep Learning Focus

About Sense:

Our mission at Sense is to make all homes intelligent by keeping people informed about what's happening in their homes, and helping to make homes safer, more efficient, and more reliable. At Sense, we are serious about having a real impact on climate change.

About the Role:

We are seeking a motivated and experienced Senior/Principal Data Scientist to join our team. You will play a crucial role in developing and deploying state-of-the-art deep learning models to solve challenging problems in time series analysis and energy. You will have the opportunity to work with large, complex datasets and contribute to the entire model development lifecycle, from data exploration and preprocessing to model training, evaluation, and deployment. Models are deployed to both cloud and embedded systems where they power our consumer application and real-time embedded applications on electrical meters.

Responsibilities:

  1. Design, develop, and implement deep learning models for device disaggregation.
  2. Conduct thorough data analysis and preprocessing to prepare data for model training.
  3. Train and evaluate deep learning models using appropriate metrics and techniques. Contribute to curation of ground truth.
  4. Experiment with different model architectures and hyperparameters to optimize model performance.
  5. Collaborate with a cross-functional team to deploy, maintain, and support deep learning models in production environments.
  6. Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in deep learning research and technologies.
  7. Contribute to the development of our data science infrastructure and best practices.
  8. Mentor and guide junior data scientists.

Requirements

Qualifications:

  1. Advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Electrical Engineering, Computer Engineering, or a related field.
  2. 5+ years (Senior) / 8+ years (Principal) of experience in data science, with a strong focus on deep learning.
  3. Experience in training and deploying deep neural networks using popular frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Keras.
  4. Solid understanding of deep learning architectures (CNNs, RNNs, Transformers, etc.) and their applications.
  5. Proficiency in programming such as Python and experience with relevant libraries (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, Scikit-learn).
  6. Experience working with large datasets.
  7. Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  8. Must be authorized to work in the U.S.

Data Science Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Data science has become one of the most sought‑after fields in technology, leveraging mathematics, statistics, machine learning, and programming to derive valuable insights from data. Organisations across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, government—rely on data scientists to build predictive models, understand patterns, and shape strategy with data‑driven decisions. If you’re gearing up for a data science interview, expect a well‑rounded evaluation. Beyond statistics and algorithms, many roles also require data wrangling, visualisation, software engineering, and communication skills. Interviewers want to see if you can slice and dice messy datasets, design experiments, and scale ML models to production. In this guide, we’ll explore 30 real coding & system‑design questions commonly posed in data science interviews. You’ll find challenges ranging from algorithmic coding and statistical puzzle‑solving to the architectural side of building data science platforms in real‑world settings. By practising with these questions, you’ll gain the confidence and clarity needed to stand out among competitive candidates. And if you’re actively seeking data science opportunities in the UK, be sure to visit www.datascience-jobs.co.uk. It’s a comprehensive hub featuring junior, mid‑level, and senior data science vacancies—spanning start‑ups to FTSE 100 companies. Let’s dive into what you need to know.

Negotiating Your Data Science Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Data science has rapidly evolved from a niche specialty to a cornerstone of strategic decision-making in virtually every industry—from finance and healthcare to retail, entertainment, and AI research. As a mid‑senior data scientist, you’re not just running predictive models or generating dashboards; you’re shaping business strategy, product innovation, and customer experiences. This level of influence is why employers are increasingly offering compensation packages that go beyond a baseline salary. Yet, many professionals still tend to focus almost exclusively on base pay when negotiating a new role. This can be a costly oversight. Companies vying for data science talent—especially in the UK, where demand often outstrips supply—routinely offer equity, bonuses, flexible work options, and professional development funds in addition to salary. Recognising these opportunities and effectively negotiating them can have a substantial impact on your total earnings and long-term career satisfaction. This guide explores every facet of negotiating a data science job offer—from understanding equity structures and bonus schemes to weighing crucial perks like remote work and ongoing skill development. By the end, you’ll be well-equipped to secure a holistic package aligned with your market value, your life goals, and the tremendous impact you bring to any organisation.
