Data Scientist | Cardiff / Hybrid | Engineering | AI & Predictive Analytics

We're supporting a growing engineering business looking to hire a Data Scientist to help develop scalable ML and AI solutions across compliance, risk and contractor analytics platforms.

You'll work closely with AI Engineers, Data Engineers and DevOps teams to build and deploy predictive models and LLM-powered solutions in production environments across AWS and Azure.

The Role

This is a hands-on opportunity to work on modern AI and machine learning initiatives that directly support operational performance, compliance and risk management. You'll be involved in the full model lifecycle from data ingestion and feature engineering through to deployment, optimisation and monitoring.

Key Responsibilities
  • Develop machine learning models for risk scoring, churn prediction and contractor analytics
  • Build LLM and NLP solutions for automated compliance checks and insight generation
  • Deploy AI and ML models into cloud-based production environments
  • Work with Microsoft Fabric for data ingestion, transformation and feature engineering
  • Improve model monitoring, retraining and optimisation processes
  • Collaborate closely with engineering and product teams in agile delivery squads
  • Communicate technical solutions clearly to non-technical stakeholders
  • Contribute to best practices around coding standards, maintainability and AI-assisted development
Tech Stack

Python, SQL, TensorFlow, PyTorch, AWS, Azure, Microsoft Fabric, NLP, LLMs, MLOps

What We're Looking For
  • Strong commercial Data Science experience
  • Experience building and deploying ML models into production
  • Strong understanding of predictive modelling, NLP and LLM architectures
  • Cloud experience with AWS and/or Azure
  • Experience with Python, SQL and modern ML frameworks
  • Strong communication and stakeholder management skills
  • Ability to work collaboratively in agile engineering teams
Desirable Experience
  • Risk modelling or compliance analytics
  • Supply chain or operational analytics
  • MLOps and CI/CD pipelines
  • Data governance or regulatory environments
Why Apply?

You'll join a collaborative engineering environment working on genuinely impactful AI projects with modern tooling and cloud technologies. This is an opportunity to help shape the future direction of AI capability within a growing business while working on real-world applications of LLMs and predictive analytics.

Where to Advertise Cloud Computing Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise cloud computing jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and channels that reach AWS, Azure, GCP and cloud-native engineering talent. The candidate pool is large relative to other deep tech disciplines but highly segmented — cloud architects, DevOps engineers, platform engineers, FinOps specialists and cloud security professionals each occupy distinct communities with different job search behaviours, certification profiles and salary expectations. General job boards reach a broad audience but struggle to differentiate between these disciplines, producing high application volumes but low candidate quality for specialist cloud roles. This guide, published by CloudComputingJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise cloud computing roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Cloud Computing Jobs UK 2026: salaries, hiring trends and the AWS, Azure and GCP skills shaping UK cloud careers over the next three years. Cloud computing is the infrastructure layer on which the modern digital economy runs — and the jobs market that has grown around it is one of the largest, most sustained, and most structurally resilient in the entire technology sector. But the cloud computing jobs market of 2026 looks quite different from the one that existed three years ago, and the next three years will bring further change at a pace that rewards those who understand the direction of travel. The migration phase that defined cloud hiring for much of the previous decade is largely complete for enterprise organisations. The question for most UK businesses is no longer whether to move to the cloud but how to operate, optimise, and secure what they have already built there — and how to integrate the wave of AI capability that is now being delivered primarily through cloud infrastructure. That shift has profound implications for which cloud skills are in demand, which roles are growing, and which are beginning to plateau. At the same time, new architectural patterns — multi-cloud, cloud-native, serverless, and the growing integration of edge computing with centralised cloud infrastructure — are creating entirely new categories of specialist expertise that employers are actively competing to hire. The cloud computing jobs market of 2026 is not contracting. It is evolving, and evolving in ways that create significant opportunity for job seekers who are building the right skills. This article breaks down what the UK cloud computing jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
