About the Role:

This is a unique opportunity to apply advanced data science in the national security domain. You’ll work with highly sensitive, complex datasets that you won’t find anywhere else, solving problems that have a direct impact on UK security. Expect variety: one day you’ll be scoping new AI projects with stakeholders, the next you’ll be building models for text, image, or geospatial data, and later presenting findings to senior decision-makers.

You’ll influence strategy, mentor junior colleagues, and help shape how AI is adopted across critical missions. If you want to combine technical depth with meaningful impact, this is the role for you.

What You’ll Do:

• Lead data science projects from scoping to deployment
• Apply ML and statistical methods across varied data types
• Collaborate with ML engineers to productionise models
• Communicate insights to technical and non-technical stakeholders
• Mentor junior team members

Skillset:

• Strong Python and ML libraries (scikit-learn, PyTorch, pandas, NumPy)
• Experience with AWS cloud services (SageMaker, Lambda, S3)
• Familiarity with MLOps tools (MLflow, Weights & Biases)
• Knowledge of NLP, computer vision, or time-series analysis
• Ability to design experiments and apply statistical validation
• Understanding of Responsible AI principles and model explainability
