  • Technological Innovation: This position is at the heart of shaping the future of data exploitation. You'll drive the development and deployment of advanced data science and machine learning capabilities, working with cutting-edge tools and on rare, stimulating projects. Expect a dynamic environment where no two days are the same.
  • Career Growth and Development: BT offers unparalleled professional and personal development opportunities. This role provides a platform to become a Subject Matter Expert (SME) within your field, defining technology infrastructure and mentoring emerging talent, all while your contributions are genuinely valued.

  • Deep Technical Expertise Required: The "What we'd like to see on your CV" section highlights a strong need for practical experience in Artificial Intelligence (including frontier LLMs), Software Development (Python, Scala/Java), MLOps, Data Exploration, and Big Data Platforms (Hadoop, Spark). A solid foundation in these areas is essential for success.
  • Essential Skills Alignment: Beyond specific technical proficiencies, candidates should demonstrate a strong grasp of Technology Deployment, Solution Design, System Design, a Growth Mindset, and Cloud Computing.

Why this is a significant career move:

This role offers more than just a competitive salary and excellent benefits (including a bonus, pension scheme, on-call allowance, generous leave, and extensive flexible benefits). It provides a unique opportunity to work within a globally recognised organisation at the cutting edge of cybersecurity. If you are passionate about leveraging data science and AI to solve complex national security challenges and are seeking an environment that fosters innovation, continuous learning, and impactful work, this BT opportunity is certainly worth exploring.
