Job description

We're looking for a Data Scientist with a strong software engineering mindset who can take solutions from concept through to deployment. This is a highly technical, hands‑on role focused on applying machine learning, neural networks, and optimisation techniques to solve complex real‑world business challenges.

You’ll work on forecasting, optimisation, and advanced machine learning applications within operational and industrial environments, delivering robust solutions that create measurable business value.

What We're Looking For

• Strong Computer Science, Software development background, with the ability to build and deploy production-ready solutions, not just develop
• Deep expertise in neural networks, particularly their application to time series forecasting and prediction in industrial or real-world environments.
• Strong mathematical optimisation skills. This is a core requirement, with several optimisation-focused projects to support
• Strong software development and programming skills, with a practical, engineering-focused approach to problem-solving
• Experience with Databricks and/or Snowflake is preferred
• Hands‑on and delivery-focused, with a preference for staying close to the technical work. We're looking for someone who wants to build solutions, not a Lead or Principal

You’ll Be a Great Fit If

• You can build and deploy production-ready solutions, not just develop models
• You have deep expertise in neural networks, particularly for time series problems in real‑world environments
• You're strong in mathematical optimisation and enjoy solving complex operational challenges
• You're hands‑on and technical, with a preference for delivering solutions rather than leading teams
