Data Scientist – B2B SaaS (Price Optimisation for Retail Banks)

A fast-growing, profitable B2B SaaS company is looking for an ambitious Data Scientist to help advance its price optimisation platform used by major retail banks. Their software guides mortgage and savings pricing decisions, delivering millions in additional revenue for clients. With a strong UK & Ireland client base and a rapidly expanding pipeline, this is a rare early-stage opportunity in a bootstrapped, high-growth business.

This is an exciting time to join the company, with a small but growing set of clients in the UK and Ireland. After recent successes, they have built a very promising pipeline of new clients, with revenues expected to increase significantly in the next year. The company is bootstrapped (no VC or angel investment) and is already very profitable.

The Role

You’ll play a key part in improving and building machine learning models and data pipelines that power the platform. This is a hands-on, proactive role focused on continuous improvement across modelling, automation, and client-facing insights.

You will work on:

  • Enhancing ML pipelines: validation, classification, clustering, predictive models, neural networks, optimisation.

  • Automating and streamlining data refresh processes.

  • Producing client presentations and providing pricing insights.

  • R&D on new modelling and optimisation approaches.

  • Supporting business development and pitch materials.

    What You’ll Bring

  • Degree in a STEM field (Maths, CS, Engineering).

  • Experience in data science or consulting.

  • Strong Python/Pandas skills.

  • Entrepreneurial mindset and proactive problem-solving.

  • Hands-on machine learning experience.

    Nice to have: large datasets, data engineering, pricing/optimisation, client presentations, banking/FS experience, plus any of: PySpark, Azure, SQL, HTML/CSS/JS, VBA, Power BI, Power Automate.

    What’s on Offer

  • Competitive salary + compelling profit share.

  • Equity options.

Robotics Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK robotics hiring has shifted from toolbox checklists to capability‑driven evaluation that emphasises deployed systems, safety, reliability and total cost of ownership. Employers want proof you can ship and sustain robots in production—industrial arms & cobots, AMRs/AGVs, field robots, surgical/med‑tech, warehouse automation, inspection & maintenance. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews and how to prepare—especially for robotics software engineers (ROS/ROS 2), perception/vision engineers, controls & motion planners, mechatronics & embedded, safety & compliance, test/V&V, DevOps/SRE for fleets, and robotics product managers. Who this is for: Robotics software/perception/controls engineers, mechatronics & embedded, simulation & test, DevOps/SRE for robotics fleets, HRI/UX, safety/compliance, field/commissioning engineers, and product/technical programme managers in the UK.

Why Robotics Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Robotics used to be the domain of mechanical, electrical and software engineers. In the UK today, robotics is more than motors and control loops — it’s about perception, interaction, trust, regulation and integration into human environments. That evolution means robotics careers are becoming more multidisciplinary. Modern robots interact with people, collect data, operate under constraints, and often assist in safety-critical environments (healthcare, manufacturing, transport). So engineers now collaborate closely with legal, ethical, psychological, linguistic and design experts. In this article, we explore why UK robotics careers are evolving into multidisciplinary roles, how law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design intersect with robotics, and how job-seekers and employers can adapt to this shift.

Robotics Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Robotics Department

Robotics is transforming manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, entertainment and more. In the UK, advances in robotics span autonomous mobile robots (AMRs), robotic arms, surgical robotics, drone systems, human-robot interaction, and collaborative robots (cobots). Building effective robotics systems requires not only strong hardware and software, but also finely coordinated teams with clear roles from research through deployment and maintenance. If you’re a candidate applying for robotics roles or an employer hiring through RoboticsJobs.co.uk, this guide will help you understand who does what in a mature robotics department, how the lifecycle of a robotics product works, what skills and qualifications UK employers typically expect, what salaries look like, common challenges, and best practices for structuring teams that deliver.
