Job description

Working Environment

You will work in a high-trust, delivery-focused environment where technical quality, judgement and real-world impact are valued.

The team operates collaboratively, sharing knowledge and learning through delivery rather than theory alone. You will be trusted to manage your own work, engage directly with customers and stakeholders, and take responsibility for outcomes.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design, build and deploy applied AI and data science solutions that deliver measurable impact
• Own projects end-to-end, including problem definition, technical delivery and stakeholder engagement
• Work directly with users and customers to understand real-world needs and translate them into well-defined AI problems
• Apply modern AI and machine learning techniques using strong Python engineering skills
• Build solutions that can operate in secure, constrained or offline environments without reliance on external services
• Consider performance, scalability and resilience when deploying AI into operational systems
• Influence technical direction through evidence, communication and delivery results
• Share knowledge and support learning across the wider data science community

Your Experience

To be successful in this role, you will bring:

• Strong, demonstrable experience as an Applied AI Scientist, Data Scientist or similar hands-on technical role
• Excellent Python skills, with the ability to write clean, efficient, production-quality code
• Experience developing and deploying AI solutions outside of fully managed cloud services
• Solid understanding of modern AI and machine learning techniques
• Experience working with imperfect, real-world data and operational constraints
• Confidence owning work end-to-end and managing your own delivery
• The ability to influence technical decisions without formal authority

In Return

You’ll join an experienced and collaborative team working on meaningful, production-focused AI problems rather than isolated experimentation.

This is an opportunity to apply your skills where judgement, pragmatism and technical quality genuinely matter, and to grow your influence through delivery rather than management responsibility.
