We have a proven track record of success across a wide range of public and private sector clients with whom we have built long-standing relationships of trust and collaboration. Our work ranges from delivering rapid proof-of-value innovation, through delivering enterprise-scale productionised analytical solutions, or provisioning advisory and strategic workstreams.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are successfully offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including: 
identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, employment history going back 3 continuous years, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service)

Your Role

We are looking for people with strong technical knowledge in areas such as machine learning, GenAI, computer vision, and data science, combined with solid solution architecture and software engineering skills, that will allow us to design and build solutions which can be deployed at scale. We seek individuals to collaborate closely with our clients, help them to identify problems and define impactful solutions. Then be able to explain clearly and concisely how our solutions address their goals and finally lead and motivate teams to deliver successfully. You can also take the opportunity to author internal and public whitepapers and represent Capgemini at conferences.

You can bring your whole self to work. At Capgemini equity, diversity and inclusion is part of everyday life, and will be part of your working reality. We have built an inclusive and welcoming environment, for everyone.

Your Skills and Experience

Capabilities in a range of AI techniques (e.g. supervised and un-supervised machine learning techniques, GenAI, deep learning, graph data analytics, statistical analysis, time series, geospatial, NLP, sentiment analysis, pattern detection, etc.). Strong communication skills - able to compellingly present work to clients, disseminating complex information in an easy-to-understand form on a day-to-day basis, and managing multiple stakeholder relationships and inspiring team-mates. Experience of winning work with private and public sector clients or internal clients within large organisations, through e.g. the RFI/RFP process, as preferred bidder, documented bids and face to face presentations. Experience of data science platforms (e.g. Databricks, Dataiku, AzureML, SageMaker) and machine learning frameworks (e.g. Keras, Tensorflow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) Cloud platforms – demonstrable experience of building and deploying solutions to Cloud (e.g. AWS, Azure, Google Cloud) including Cloud provisioning tools (e.g. Terraform). Technology deployment– proven experience using technologies such as Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD platforms (e.g. Jenkins, Tekton, ArgoCD), GitHub, to deploy complex solutions robustly and securely. Strong track record of building and leading technical teams, managing workloads and offering technical guidance and leadership, running Agile processes and identifying and mitigating project risk.

Your Developed Vetting Clearance

To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Developed Vetting (DV) clearance. 
To obtain DV clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 10 years, along with other very detailed criteria and requirements. 
Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.
Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.
 

What Does 'Get The Future You Want' Mean To You?

You will be encouraged to have a positive work-life balance. Our hybrid-first way of working means we embed hybrid working in all that we do and make flexible working arrangements the day-to-day reality for our people. All UK employees are eligible to request flexible working arrangements. 


You will be empowered to explore, innovate, and progress. You will benefit from Capgemini’s ‘learning for life’ mindset, meaning you will have countless training and development opportunities from thinktanks to hackathons, and access to 250,000 courses with numerous external certifications from AWS, Microsoft, Harvard ManageMentor, Cybersecurity qualifications and much more.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
