As a Senior Data Scientist, you'll leverage data science to advance our mission and inform policy and strategy decisions. While this role is data-centric, collaboration is at its heart. In this role, you'll collaborate with data scientists and mission teams to utilise our services for problem-solving and discovering new applications. You'll work with project teams to research and implement both established and novel models, and adapt AI techniques into our microservice architecture. Supporting our Development Operations (DevOps) team, you'll explore innovative Machine Learning Operations (ML Ops) tools and learn to host large language models across multiple Graphic Processing Units (GPUs). After a year in this role, you'll have opportunities to manage data scientists and engineers. You understand the power of data for a business, and at GCHQ, we know how to use it for good. Every bit of data you work on is mission-critical and not driven by commercial gain, so you can be confident that your work makes a positive impact. There may be annual opportunities for overseas travel for collaboration, conferences, and training.
At GCHQ, we're committed to giving you all the support and guidance you need to build a rewarding career at the heart of national security, and we'll do this from the very start. From day one, you'll have a comprehensive introduction to the organisation, plus a buddy on hand to support and mentor you as you get settled in. We understand that everyone learns differently, so we'll tailor your development to suit your needs - whether that's through books, studying, courses, or conferences. Additionally, we offer an internal Data Science learning pathway with a significant taught component. Successfully completing this pathway will open up a variety of other learning opportunities, aligned with ambitions, career direction, and our mission requirements. The programme includes modules on exploratory data analysis, visualisation, mathematics and statistics, machine learning, algorithms and graph theory, and big data technologies.
