Lead Data Scientist - Deep Learning Practitioner

Our client is building the most advanced AI platform in their market. They help their clients serve customers with unmatched speed and accuracy.
They’ve invested heavily into building the ML stack, partnered with leading universities, and trained models on millions of expert-tagged images. Now, they’re scaling globally — and need a world-class Lead Data Scientist to help push the boundaries of computer vision, video analysis, and multimodal LLMs while solving real-world challenges.
Role Overview
They are looking for an experienced Lead Data Scientist to spearhead machine-learning initiatives, with particular focus on computer vision, large language models, and production ready ML pipelines in Azure. You will act as the technical lead for the team, setting direction, guiding best practices, and ensuring the successful delivery of high-impact AI solutions.
Key Responsibilities
· Develop, train, and deploy computer vision models (object detection, image classification, segmentation, multi-modal learning)
· Fine-tune, evaluate, and productionise multi-modal LLMs for business applications.
· Drive experimentation and prototyping of advanced ML/AI techniques
· Provide technical direction, mentoring, and hands-on guidance to the data science team.
· Work with engineering, product, and business stakeholders to align ML strategy with business goals.
· Architect and productionise end-to-end ML pipelines on Azure, while ensuring scalability, reproducibility, and monitoring of deployed models.
Requirements
· 6+ years in data science / ML, with at least 2 years in a technical lead role.
· Deep experience in training and deploying computer vision models into production
· Proven track record with LLM fine-tuning, prompt engineering and productionisation
· Deep experience in MLOps on Azure, including CI/CD, monitoring and scaling pipelines.
· Strong coding skills in Python, with frameworks such as PyTorch, FastAPI and Azure CLI.

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
