We are looking for 5x technically strong Data Scientists/Engineers to join our Data & AI team, working on complex data-driven problems within secure government environments. This role combines data science, software engineering and data engineering. You will work across the full data science lifecycle: understanding operational and business problems, defining data requirements, exploring and preparing large datasets, developing analytical and machine-learning solutions, evaluating performance, and taking successful proofs of concept through to production. The role suits someone with a strong technical foundation in Computer Science, Physics or a related quantitative discipline, who is comfortable working directly with large-scale data platforms.

Key Responsibilities

• Work with stakeholders to translate complex business and operational problems into clear analytical and data science requirements.

• Contribute across the full data science lifecycle, from discovery, data requirements and collection through understanding, preparation, modelling, evaluation, deployment and feedback.

• Develop proofs of concept and progress successful approaches into robust, production-ready solutions.

• Work with large and complex datasets hosted within Hadoop and/or Stackable-based data platforms.

• Build scalable processing and analytical workflows using Python, SQL, Spark and PySpark; query distributed datasets using Trino and Hive.

• Develop and maintain Jupyter and Python data science environments, alongside scheduled analytical and processing workloads, including orchestration of Trino queries.

• Perform data exploration, feature engineering, statistical analysis and machine-learning model

development where appropriate.

• Apply strong engineering practices, including modular development, testing, version control, reproducibility and maintainability.

• Work with engineers, architects, analysts and operational stakeholders to integrate analytical capabilities into wider platforms.

• Evaluate solutions against technical and operational requirements; use feedback to improve them

iteratively.

• Contribute to technical documentation, architecture decisions and knowledge sharing.

• Work within Agile/Scrum teams, contributing to planning, refinement, reviews and retrospectives.

• Deliver in accordance with the security, governance and assurance requirements of UK Government and Defence environments
