Senior Data Scientist: Build the Intelligence Behind Tomorrow's Cities
(UK Based) London | Remote-First with Quarterly In-Person Meetings

Our client is a pioneering digital twin platform business, transforming urban planning across 26+ cities. They've already revolutionised how architects, planners, and developers collaborate, with 90% of London's local authorities and leading architectural firms using their platform to make smarter decisions faster.

Now they need an exceptional Senior Data Scientist to architect the AI that powers it all.

What You'll Actually Build

Spatial Intelligence That Matters

  • Design ML models that understand 3D space the way humans do (but faster, more accurately)

  • Build predictive systems that help planners spot opportunities before anyone else

  • Create AI that turns complex geospatial data into instant insights for city shapers

    Real-World Impact, Real-Time

  • Deploy LLMs that make planning documentation actually readable and actionable

  • Engineer recommendation engines that suggest optimal building placements and designs

  • Develop automation tools that eliminate the tedious bits, freeing humans for creative problem-solving

    Novel Research Meets Production Reality

  • Push the boundaries of spatial intelligence models whilst shipping features that thousands use daily

  • Partner with external AI specialists on cutting-edge projects

  • Transform research breakthroughs into scalable solutions

    Key Skills Required:

  • LLM Experience: Production experience with GPT, Claude, LLaMA, including fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and deployment

  • Python Proficiency: Strong skills with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch) and LLM tools (Hugging Face, LangChain, OpenAI APIs)

  • Vector Understanding: Solid knowledge of embeddings, vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS), and RAG pipelines

  • NLP Fundamentals: Text preprocessing, language modelling, and semantic similarity

  • Cloud Experience: AWS ecosystem knowledge (SageMaker, Lambda, etc.)

  • Production Ready: ETL pipelines, version control, Agile methodologies

    It would be a major advantage if you have experience with:

  • Experience with 3D/GIS domains

  • Familiarity with Unity, Unreal, or 3D modelling tools

  • AWS data systems (Lake Formation, RDS, DynamoDB)

  • Spatial/temporal modelling experience

  • Docker and AIOps practices

    What makes this role stand out?

    Technical Freedom: Work on genuinely novel problems. Most data scientists optimise ad clicks or recommend products. You'll be building the intelligence that shapes physical cities.

    Scale & Impact: Your models will shape how millions of people live, work, and navigate urban spaces.

    Cutting-Edge Stack: They're not maintaining legacy systems. You'll work with the latest AI techniques on problems that didn't exist five years ago.

    Elite Peer Group: Collaborate with leading architects, urban planners, and technologists who are defining the future of cities.

    What's In It For You

    Career Acceleration: As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll work on problems that define entire industries, not just optimise metrics. Your expertise will directly influence multi-million-pound urban developments.

    Technical Development: Push your data scientist skills into new territory. Spatial intelligence, 3D modelling, and urban planning AI are emerging fields where experienced practitioners are rare and highly valued.

    Market Premium: Data scientists with spatial AI expertise command significant salary premiums. You'll be building skills that are in massive demand but short supply.

    Professional Growth: Contribute to publications, speak at conferences, and build your reputation as a leading data scientist in the spatial intelligence space.

    Future-Proof Skills: Urban planning is digitising rapidly. Position yourself as the data scientist who understands this transformation from the ground up.

    Their Commitment to You

  • Intellectual Growth: Stay current with emerging ML techniques and evaluate their potential for spatial intelligence

  • Leadership Development: Mentor team members and help build a culture of technical excellence

  • Career Trajectory: Shape both their AI strategy and your own development path

  • Human-First Culture: They believe in having fun while building the future

    Next Steps

    If you're ready to apply AI to problems that matter? As a Senior Data Scientist ready to make your mark on the future of cities, send us your CV and we'll be in touch!

    Our client is transforming cities through greater understanding, collaboration and trust. Join them in turning urban possibilities into realities
