I’m working with a global, growing data science capability which works across multiple markets.

The team is distributed, and they are building on regional depth in Europe, with recent expansion into France and potential future moves into Germany.


Role:

I’m looking for a seasoned data scientist (8+ years) with strong domain expertise in financial services, ideally someone who has worked across both B2B client-facing engagements. You’ll be working as part of a globally distributed team, collaborating with specialists across time zones. The right candidate would bring technical depth, business context, and the ability to communicate insights with both clients and internal teams.


Tech:

While they use a range of technologies internally, familiarity with open-source tools is highly valued.

Languages & Libraries:Python, R, Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM, statsmodels

NLP & ML Frameworks: spaCy, Hugging Face Transformers, TensorFlow or PyTorch (where applicable)

Data Engineering & Pipelines:dbt, Airflow, SQL, Spark, Dask

Visualisation:Plotly, Seaborn, Matplotlib, Dash, Streamlit

Dev & Collaboration Tools:Jupyter, Git, Docker, VS Code, CI/CD tools


Ideal but Not Required:

Fluency in French or German is a strong bonus as it will be advantageous for future client engagements.


They are based in the UK with settled status, and comfortable working across time zones with colleagues in the US and South Asia.
