Data Scientist

Strider Technologies is on a mission to deliver strategic intelligence that enables faster, more confident decision-making for organizations around the world. As the leading strategic intelligence company, Strider empowers organizations to secure and advance their technology and innovation. We leverage cutting-edge AI technology and proprietary methodologies to transform publicly available data into critical insights. These insights enable organizations to proactively address and respond to risks associated with state-sponsored intellectual property theft, targeted talent acquisition, and supply chain vulnerabilities.

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.
  • 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.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

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

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
