Job Opportunity: Data Scientist Performance Intelligence Startup · Remote-first · England or Spain £45,000 – £60,000 depending on experience About the Company This is a really exciting opportunity with a fast-growing performance intelligence startup with a genuinely clever concept — think elite sports coaching, but applied to the workplace. The company helps employees, teams, and organisations reach peak performance by uncovering the root causes that hold people back, delivering personalised, data-driven insights and actionable solutions. They drive measurable business impact across things like sales growth, AI adoption, employee retention, burnout reduction, and risk management. It is, in short, a platform that takes data seriously and actually does something useful with it. Refreshing, right? The company is building toward an agent-first platform where AI becomes the primary interface for users — and they are looking for a talented Data Scientist to help make that a reality. The Role (No, you won't just be cleaning CSV files for eternity — though fair warning, some of that is inevitable in any data job.) This is a hands-on, high-impact position where the successful candidate will: \* Build, train, and deploy machine learning models — from exploratory analysis through to production-ready solutions that power the platform. Real models, in the real world. Not just PowerPoints about models. \* Develop and deploy AI agents using Databricks, Google AI Studio and/or Azure AI Foundry. These agents are the primary user interface for the product — so this is genuinely central to what the company does. \* Apply statistical rigour to psychometric and survey data, validating the company's proprietary measurement framework and identifying correlations that drive actionable insights. \* Advance analytical capabilities beyond aggregation — into predictive modelling, deep learning, and generative AI applications. The ambition is there; they just need the right person to execute it. \* Work closely with the CTO and tech team to integrate models into the platform. Collaboration is key — this is not a lone-wolf role. \* Translate complex findings into clear, actionable insights for product decisions and client-facing reports. The ability to explain results to non-technical stakeholders is genuinely valued here. ✅ What They're Looking For The must-haves (non-negotiable, unfortunately — they checked): \* 2–4 years of hands-on experience in data science, machine learning, or applied statistics. \* Strong Python skills with experience in ML frameworks such as scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar. \* Solid grounding in statistics — hypothesis testing, regression, correlation analysis, and experimental design. \* Experience with SQL and data manipulation at scale. \* Comfortable with ambiguity and working independently in a fast-moving startup environment. This is not a company with 47 layers of sign-off. Decisions happen quickly. \* Professional English proficiency (B2+ level). ⭐ Nice to Have Bonus points — none of these are dealbreakers, but they would make a hiring manager very happy: \* Experience with GenAI, LLMs, SLMs, prompt engineering, or agentic AI workflows. Given the direction of the product, this is increasingly relevant. \* Cloud AI platform experience — GCP, Azure, Databricks, or similar. \* Startup experience. You know what wearing multiple hats feels like, and you didn't hate it. \* A background in behavioural science, organisational psychology, or psychometrics — the company works heavily with survey data and measurement validation. \* Spark, Databricks, or distributed computing experience. \* Published research or an academic background in statistics, ML, or a quantitative field. What's on Offer \* Salary of £45,000–£60,000 depending on experience, with bi-annual salary reviews. \* Remote-first, flexible working environment. The company trusts its people to get the job done. \* A genuine opportunity to join a high-potential startup at an exciting stage and directly influence the product, technical direction, and culture. \* High ownership — ideas actually get built here, rather than disappearing into a backlog black hole. \* A high-growth career trajectory as the team and product scale. \* A team culture that values passion, autonomy, continuous learning, and collaborative problem-solving. Small egos encouraged. Location Valencia, Spain or East Midlands, England is preferred — but the company is open to candidates across England or Spain. The role requires willingness to meet in person once a month (and more as needed). Worth it for the Valencia weather alone, frankly

Due to progression, this role exists to replace a senior engineer within a well-established software company operating in the highly regulated energy sector.

Senior Python Software Engineer
Circa 56,000 + up to 15% bonus Hybrid (2 days per week in Oxford)

The software you’ll work on is business critical. It must be reliable, auditable, and able to stand up to regulatory scrutiny. That shapes how engineering is done here: considered design, well-tested code, and a focus on doing things properly rather than quickly.
If you’re a Python engineer ready to take on more responsibility, mentor others, and work in an environment where engineering discipline matters, this role is designed for you.

What you’ll be working on
You’ll join a software-led organisation, contributing to the design, development, and ongoing improvement of commercial systems used within a regulated energy environment.
Your work will include:

• Building and maintaining Python-based services and applications
• Writing clear, well-tested, and maintainable code
• Contributing to design decisions and agreed technical standards
• Reviewing code and helping raise engineering quality across the team
• Supporting reliable releases in a cloud-hosted environment

You’ll report directly to a Principal Software Engineer and work alongside experienced engineers who value clarity, quality, and pragmatic problem-solving.

What “senior” means here
This is not a people-management role.
Seniority is demonstrated through:

• Sound technical judgement
• Ownership of complex pieces of work
• Mentoring and supporting less-experienced engineers
• Leading by example in code quality, testing, and delivery

It’s well suited to someone who may not yet hold a senior title, but is already operating at that level and ready to step up.

Essential experience

• Commercial experience developing software with Python
• Experience building and maintaining production systems
• A strong approach to testing and code quality
• Experience working in a cloud environment
  • AWS

Working pattern and location

• Hybrid role with 2 days per week onsite
• Office location: Oxford

Salary and benefits

• Circa 56,000 base salary
• Bonus up to 15% (personal and company performance)
• 25 days’ annual leave plus bank holidays
• Pension scheme (4% employer contribution when you contribute 5%)
• Health care scheme (including dental and eye care)
• EV car scheme (terms apply)
• Free onsite gym
• Employee Assistance Programme and wellbeing support
• Paid volunteering day each year

Interested?
If you’re a Python engineer looking to step into a senior-level role, working on meaningful software in a regulated environment, this is worth a conversation.
