Overview

Job Description

As a Data Scientist on Strider’s Engineering team, your job is to research and develop new data solutions, scale existing data applications, and bend Strider’s data strategies to accomplish many goals within a growing startup. We’re looking for someone with expertise in statistical modeling who is deeply curious and demonstrates a proven ability to build data solutions from scratch.

What you will do
  • Dig into messy, unstructured data every day to answer critical business questions, urgently resolve client inquiries, or get lost on problems we didn’t even know existed.

  • Transform analytics to insights, applying critical business thinking and creative data solutions toward vaguely defined problems.

  • Develop needed technical and analytical skills to introduce new data and or product capabilities to accelerate Strider’s larger mission; leveraging Python, SQL, R, and or other data languages.

  • Collaborate with subject matter experts to deliver value to Strider’s growing list of clients.

  • Establish and uphold a data-driven culture for a small but growing team within Strider’s Engineering function.

What you will need to be successful
  • 3+ years of experience in data science and or analytics.

  • An MS or BS in a quantitative field (e.g. Economics, Statistics, Engineering).

  • Functional knowledge of Python, SQL, R or other comparable languages. Experience with Elasticsearch is preferred but not required.

  • Ability to work alongside a team of engineers and subject matter experts to determine effective and time-efficient solutions.

  • Ability to independently manage deliverables and ruthlessly prioritize your work.

  • A rigorous approach towards data quality and cultivating trust with clients, internally and externally.

Why join this team
  • We are geo-distributed and deeply respect-focused work. Wednesdays are distraction-free days and Fridays tend to be the same. Getting work done matters, not meetings and status updates.

  • Most of the data and tools we need to succeed likely don’t exist yet. You are empowered to dream big, think outside the box, and generally explore new territory.

  • You’ll get daily interactions with all functions and levels of Strider, providing endless opportunities to advance your career.

  • And finally, we revel in learning new things, be it technical languages, spoken languages, or other topics. There is infinite space at Strider to pursue your interests to further yourself, the team, or Strider as a whole.

Benefits
  • Equity Options: Be a stakeholder in our growing success and share in our journey.

  • Work-Life Balance: Flexible PTO, UK holidays, and remote-friendly policies to support your personal and professional life.

  • Wellness Support: Reimbursement for health and fitness expenses to promote your well-being.

  • Comprehensive Benefits: Including pension contributions and additional perks.

Strider is an equal opportunity employer. We are committed to fostering an inclusive workplace and do not discriminate against employees or applicants based on race, color, religion, gender, national origin, age, disability, genetic information, or any other characteristic protected by applicable law. We comply with all relevant employment laws in the locations where we operate. This commitment applies to all aspects of employment, including recruitment, hiring, promotion, compensation, and professional development.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
