Who are we looking for?



You enjoy working on complex data problems whilst being able to suggest simple (yet effective) solutions. You are comfortable working with uncertainty and like to make things clearer. You're passionate about technology and keep up as it evolves. You focus on the future and thrive most when solving problems. Client's love working with you. You are honest and do things when you say you will, you also know how to explain things clearly and concisely. You can educate and inspire. You've got a background in data science, machine learning algorithms and data engineering along with their technologies. You're equally comfortable presenting to clients, providing advice or building prototypes. You're a collaborator and enjoy stepping out of your role from time to time, whether it's to support your clients, colleagues or to learn something new.



What might you be doing?


  • Leading client projects and providing subject matter expertise.
  • Working in scrum-like environments for iterative and ‘fail-fast' work and innovation.
  • Assessing your clients' business and technical needs with the ability to identify opportunities for data science to be used and managing clients' stakeholders' relationship appropriately.
  • Solving problems using data science techniques and in a scientifically robust fashion.
  • Identifying data sources that are relevant to client needs, and related data science concepts that leverage those sources to aid the client.
  • Working with various forms of data (e.g., unstructured, semi-structured or structured; text, time-series or image) and suitably modelling them (e.g., table, key-value pair, graph) for efficient data science use.
  • Investigating and analysing data to see ‘the wood from the trees' and drilling down to the ‘whys' of the data.
  • Applying statistical and evidence-based techniques to inform insights and actions from the data.
  • Communicating technical content at the right level both internally and to customers.
  • Presenting to the client, using data science tooling and investigation, a ‘story' of the data. 
  • Building maintainable code that use existing data science libraries, implement existing data science techniques, or implement novel techniques.
  • Designing, evaluating, and implementing on-premise, cloud-based and hybrid data science and machine learning techniques and algorithms (including providing relevant review and guidance on testing aspects, identification of risks and proposing and implementing their mitigations).
  • Developing scalable models and algorithms that can be deployed into production environments.
  • Applying ethical principles in handling data.
  • Accurately delivering high quality work to agreed timelines and taking the initiative and knowing how to jump straight in.
  • Supporting client engagements, including pitches and presentations.
  • Helping to support & grow Daintta by actively inputting into the company strategy and helping to shape our future.
  • Representing us and our core values: transparent, fair and daring.




Sounds like something you'd enjoy? Here's a bit more about you:


  • You have 5+ years of degree level industry experience in data science.
  • You have extensive degree level experience in a STEM subject.
  • You have experience of working in a consultancy, engineering, or data industry.
  • You have led client delivery across a range of projects, including data science, data engineering, data security and proven experience in relevant technologies (e.g., Python applied to data science).
  • You have experience working on cloud-based infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
  • You have demonstrable continuous personal development.
  • You have strong interpersonal skills.
  • You have experience with using CI/CD tooling to analyse, build, test and deploy your code and proven experience in their technologies.
  • You have experience in database technologies (e.g., SQL, NoSQL such as Elasticsearch and Graph databases).
  • You have a good understanding of coding best practices and design patterns and experience with code and data versioning, dependency management, code quality and optimisation, error handling, logging, monitoring, validation and alerting.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Whether part of a wider company restructuring, budget cuts, or market shifts in tech, many skilled professionals in the AI industry have recently found themselves unexpectedly jobless. But while redundancy brings immediate financial and emotional stress, it can also be a powerful catalyst for career growth. In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, where new roles and specialisms emerge constantly, bouncing back stronger is not only possible—it’s likely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.

AI Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Work Out Your Market Value in Seconds

Why your 2024 salary data is already outdated “Am I being paid what I’m worth?” It is the question that creeps in whenever you update your CV, see a former colleague announce a punchy pay rise on LinkedIn, or notice a recruiter slide into your inbox with a role that looks eerily similar to your current one—only advertised at £20k more. Artificial intelligence moves faster than any other hiring market. New frameworks are open‑sourced overnight, venture capital floods specific niches without warning, & entire job titles—Prompt Engineer, LLM Ops Specialist—appear in the time it takes most industries to schedule a meeting. In that environment, salary guides published only a year ago already look like historical curiosities. To give AI professionals an up‑to‑the‑minute benchmark, ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk has built a simple yet powerful salary‑calculation formula. By combining three variables—role, UK region, & seniority—you can estimate a realistic 2025 salary band in less than a minute. This article explains that formula, unpacks the latest trends driving pay, & offers concrete steps to boost your personal market value over the next 90 days.
