- Strong programming skills in Python (e.g. NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn, matplotlib); R is also welcome
- A solid understanding of core machine learning concepts, data wrangling, and model evaluation
- Proficiency with SQL and experience handling large datasets
- A passion for solving complex problems using data and a continuous learning mindset
- Excellent communication and collaboration skills
- Full right to work in the UK (we are unable to offer visa sponsorship for this role)
Desirable (Not Essential):
