As a part of Aimpoint Digital, you will focus on enabling clients to get the most out of their data. You will work with all levels of the client organization to build value driving solutions that extract insights and then train them on how to manage and maintain these solutions. Typical solutions will utilize machine learning, artificial intelligence, statistical analysis, automation, optimization, and/or data visualizations. As a Lead Data Scientist, you will be expected to work independently on client engagements, take part in the development of our practice, aid in business development, and contribute innovative ideas and initiatives to our company. As a Lead Data Scientist you will: 


  • Become a trusted advisor working with clients to design end-to-end analytical solutions 
  • Work independently to solve complex data science use-cases across various industries

  • Collaborate with stakeholders and customers to ensure successful project delivery 


Who we are looking for 


We are looking for collaborative individuals who want to drive value, work in a fast-paced environment, and solve real business problems.  You are a coder who writes efficient and optimized code leveraging key Databricks features. You are a problem-solver who can deliver simple, elegant solutions as well as cutting-edge solutions that, regardless of complexity, your clients can understand, implement, and maintain. You genuinely think about the end-to-end machine learning pipeline as you generate robust solutions. You are both a teacher and a student as we enable our clients, upskill our teammates, and learn from one another. You want to drive impact for your clients and do so through thoughtfulness, prioritization, and seeing a solution through from brainstorming to deployment. In particular you have these traits: 


  • Degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, or equivalent experience.  
  • Experience with building high quality Data Science models to solve a client's business problems  
  • Experience with managing stakeholders and collaborating with customers  
  • Strong written and verbal communication skills required  
  • Ability to manage an individual workstream independently  
  • 3+ years of experience developing and deploying ML models in any platform (Azure, AWS, GCP, Databricks etc.)  
  • Ability to apply data science methodologies and principles to real life projects  
  • Expertise in software engineering concepts and best practices  
  • Self-starter with excellent communication skills, able to work independently, and lead projects, initiatives, and/or people  
  • Willingness to travel. 


Want to stand out? 


  • Consulting Experience 
  • Databricks Machine Learning Associate or Machine Learning Professional Certification. 
  • Familiarity with traditional machine learning tools such as Python, SKLearn, XGBoost, SparkML, etc. 
  • Experience with deep learning frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch. 
  • Knowledge of ML model deployment options (e.g., Azure Functions, FastAPI, Kubernetes) for real-time and batch processing. 
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines (e.g., DevOps pipelines, GitHub Actions). 
  • Knowledge of infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, ARM Template, Databricks Asset Bundles). 
  • Understanding of advanced machine learning techniques, including graph-based processing, computer vision, natural language processing, and simulation modeling. 
  • Experience with generative AI and LLMs, such as LLamaIndex and LangChain 
  • Understanding of MLOps or LLMOps. 
  • Familiarity with Agile methodologies, preferably Scrum 


We are actively seeking candidates for full-time, remote work within the UK.
