Senior Data Scientist

Valerann is an exciting, rapidly growing AI mobility scale-up based in London and Tel-Aviv. We are a diverse and driven team that is making the road-based transport sector safer, greener, and more equitable through our unique AI and data analytics platform.

We work with governments and the world's largest road operators to make our roads safer, greener, and less congested. Our product already serves roads in Europe, the Americas, and the Middle East and helps road traffic authorities to have a good understanding of real-time traffic conditions and risks.

We do that through data—a lot of data. Our algorithms constantly ingest and process very large sets of structured and unstructured data coming from a broad range of disparate data sources, including connected vehicles, cameras, and crowdsourcing platforms. Our know-how is in deep Data Fusion and Analytics. Our passion is to empower our customers with the tools to use that data to make our journeys safer and greener.

We have made tremendous progress to date, and we need your help to support our growth. We are looking for a Senior Data Scientist to be part of our Data Fusion development effort. Your responsibilities will include:

  1. Enhancing automation in our data pipelines
  2. Integrating new data sources (traffic/weather/etc.)
  3. Quantifying the value of new and existing data services
  4. Taking an active role in defining future priorities
  5. Providing guidance to junior members of the team
  6. Working on project-specific tasks

You will also have the opportunity to engage in the wider research and development activities, especially in the data fusion area.

Who Are We Looking For?

We will review all candidates regardless of whether you think you match all of the items below. That said, the ideal candidate would have:

  1. Experience of working in a research and rapid prototyping environment.
  2. Experience with developing real-time algorithms.
  3. Technical fluency in Python and experience with optimizing SQL.
  4. Robust Software Engineering skills with experience with writing and debugging production code.
  5. An ability to create a compelling narrative through Data Visualization.
  6. Experience with GIS Vector Data.
  7. Passion for tackling data challenges in the mobility space.
  8. Availability to start soon (we understand notice periods may vary).
  9. Willingness to come into our London office in Camden — at least twice a week to begin with.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
