The Project duration: 6 months

The Project location: UK ( London )

Working pattern of the role (Hybrid , Remote, full time onsite): Hybrid ( 3 days WFO )

Please provide job spec for the role

What candidate will do

Take loosely defined problems and turn them into proofs of concepts (PoCs) within days Combine data engineering, modelling and lightweight application development to test ideas end-to-end Where a POC shows promise, there would be additional effort to grow it into a prototype (applying the concept to functional business needs) within 2-3 weeks Work independently with minimal guidance and iterate quickly based on feedback and communicate results clearly.
