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.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
