I'm hiring for a Data Scientist to join a growing technology company applying advanced data science and machine learning to complex, real‑world problems in a highly regulated environment.

The company has built a proprietary analytical platform that has been successfully validated through large‑scale, real‑world use. The work is firmly applied rather than academic, with a strong focus on robustness, performance, and practical impact. Following recent progress, the R&D team is now expanding and offers a collaborative, mission‑driven culture.

The Role

This role focuses on applied machine learning and data analysis, working with complex datasets alongside scientists and engineers. You'll contribute across the model lifecycle - from exploration and development through to evaluation, documentation, and deployment‑ready outputs.

The position suits an early‑ to mid‑level Data Scientist looking to work on meaningful problems, gain exposure to production‑grade ML, and develop technical judgement with support from senior colleagues.

Essential Experience

Degree in a quantitative or scientific discipline, or equivalent professional experience

Hands‑on experience developing machine learning models

Strong Python skills and clean coding practices

Ability to work with complex datasets and communicate results clearly

Comfortable collaborating across technical and non‑technical teams

Experience producing clear technical documentation or reports

Nice to Have

Experience in regulated or safety‑critical environments

Linux or high‑performance computing exposure

Knowledge of databases or data pipelines

Experience with additional languages (e.g. R, C/C++, C#)

Location & Working Style

Based in Glasgow, with a hybrid working model and flexibility around hours.

Candidates must have the full right to work in the UK permanently without visa sponsorship

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
