A software development company is looking for a talented, long-term Lead DS Researcher. 

The company is a team of experts providing analytical services to healthcare clients. You will join an international team of first class professionals who are passionate to create products that improve quality of medical services. 

We’re looking for a Lead Data Science Researcher who thrives in research-heavy environments and enjoys exploring uncharted territory with the support of a strong technical team. You will lead a compact team of two data scientists, guiding them on high-impact research initiatives and experimental projects. Your role will involve pushing the boundaries of applied machine learning — especially in the context of medical and clinical data — and turning complex problems into innovative solutions.

This is a unique opportunity to drive forward new ideas and applications, not just optimize existing ones.

What we’re looking for:


  • Exceptional analytical and statistical skills-comfortable with uncertainty, inference, and experimentation;

  • Strong background in different areas of ML (traditional classification and regression techniques, recommender systems, text data, clustering, etc.);

  • Solid experience with deep learning frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow;

  • Excellent Python skills (beyond Jupyter Notebooks) - ability to build clean, testable, production-ready code;

  • Familiarity with medical or life science data is a strong plus;

  • Expertise in SQL, Pandas, Scikit-learn, and modern data workflows;

  • Comfortable working in Google Cloud Platform (GCP) environments.

Bonus points for experience with:


  • State-of-the-art NLP models, Transformers, Agentic Approaches for mixed (temporal and text) data analysis and summarization;

  • Experience with pipeline orchestration tools like Airflow, Argo, etc.;

  • Proven Experience with Anomaly Detection and Forecasting with explainability for temporal and mixed data;

  • Intermediate+ English — ability to participate in written discussions with international teams and clients.

Benefits: 


  • Join a mission-driven team working at the intersection of data, medicine, and impact;

  • Work on meaningful challenges with long-term value for public health and healthcare quality;

  • Collaborate with top-tier experts in a culture that values curiosity, autonomy, and innovation;

  • Fully remote-friendly setup with flexibility and trust at the core.

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

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. 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

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. 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.
