Agent guide: [/agents.md](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/agents.md). --- # Data Scientist - **Company:** Magentic - **Location:** London, UK (Remote available) - **Experience:** Starter - **Salary:** £60,000.0 - £70,000.0 - **Contract:** Permanent contract - **Skills:** Artificial Intelligence, Automated Storage and Retrieval Systems, Python (Programming Language), Machine Learning, Enterprise Data Management, Jupyter Notebook, Large Language Models, Information Technology - **Published:** June 12, 2026 - **Apply:** https://uk.indeed.com/viewjob?jk=39a8acd052432f51 ## About the Role Do you have experience in Python?, Do you have a Master's degree?, * Have 3+ years of hands-on experience in data science, applied AI, analytics, or similar work * OR a strong academic background (e.g. Master's in Data Science, Machine Learning, Statistics, Mathematics, Computer Science, Physics, etc.) combined with 1-2 years of industry experience * Strong Python skills * Experience working in Jupyter notebooks * Familiarity with LLMs, AI tooling, or applied machine learning workflows * Strong analytical and problem-solving ability * Comfort working independently on open-ended problems * Ability to work pragmatically rather than over-engineering solutions * Curiosity and enthusiasm for AI-native ways of working Bonus Points: * Experience applying LLMs to real-world datasets * Experience with vector databases, embeddings, or retrieval systems * Exposure to operational or enterprise data environments * Background in highly analytical disciplines such as medicine, physics, maths, or engineering ## Description We're looking for a Data Scientist to help us apply LLMs and AI tooling to large-scale, messy, real-world datasets, solving operational problems where the answers aren't obvious and the impact is very tangible. The Role This is not a traditional analytics or engineering role. We're looking for someone who enjoys working deeply with data, experimentation, AI tooling, and problem solving, someone comfortable using Python, notebooks, LLMs, and structured thinking to solve non-trivial operational challenges. You'll work on applying AI models and data science approaches to complex enterprise datasets, helping uncover insights, automate workflows, and prototype intelligent systems quickly. The ideal person is highly curious, pragmatic, and comfortable operating in ambiguity. You don't need to be a production software engineer, but you do need to be technically capable, thoughtful, and able to independently execute meaningful work. What You'll Do: * Work with large, messy, real-world enterprise datasets * Apply LLMs and AI tooling to operational and analytical problems at scale * Build data workflows and experiments using Python and Jupyter notebooks * Run and analyse large-scale queries and model outputs * Prototype and iterate quickly on AI-driven approaches * Work closely with product, engineering, and founders on exploratory projects * Translate ambiguous problems into structured investigations and solutions * Help shape how AI is applied across procurement and supply chain workflows, There are a few components because it's really important that both we and you have all the information to make a great decision at this stage of our journey. We can move quickly through these stages, so let us know if you have any timelines we need to meet. * Initial call (30 mins): this first step is an opportunity for you to hear more about Magentic and the role, and for us to learn more about how your experience aligns with the role. * Skills interview (60 mins with some prep): in this step, we'll ask you to present some of your work to us and discuss it. * In-person interview: for the final step, we invite you to come meet the team in-person and work alongside us! We find this is the best way for candidates to get a sense of what working at Magentic is like. This day will include a culture interview, a role-specific task and a discussion of your work with the team. Responsible AI Statement At Magentic, we are committed to developing artificial intelligence that benefits humanity. We push the limits of AI's capabilities and are dedicated to its responsible and safe deployment. Recognising the profound impact of AI, we ensure that its development is centred around human needs and safety, incorporating a wide array of perspectives to fulfil our mission. ## Related Videos - [Introduction to Azure Machine Learning](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/368-introduction-to-azure-machine-learning) - [Data Science in Retail](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/586-data-science-in-retail) - [Creating Industry ready solutions with LLM Models](https://www.wearedevelopers.com/videos/899-creating-industry-ready-solutions-with-llm-models) - [Kubernetes dev is fun, but setup and ops isn't!
