Data Scientist – Product Builder

We are looking for a Data Scientist - Product Builder to join our Artificial Intelligence Center of Excellence within the Digital Hub. This is a role for someone who turns business problems into working data products, end to end. You will partner with our business areas (Construction, Highways, Airports, Energy, Digital Infrastructures and Headquarters) to understand what really matters, dig deep into the data to find the answer, and then build the product that puts that answer in the hands of the people who need it.

What makes this role different is how you build. You will rely fully on agentic coding, working with AI coding agents as your main development partners to go from data analysis to a deployed, production-ready product in a fraction of the traditional time. You will not hand over a notebook and wait for someone else to turn it into a product: you own the problem, the analysis, the product and its adoption.

The ideal candidate has spent a great deal of time working with real, messy business data, has a solid foundation in statistics, and combines business judgement with a strong sense of ownership and a builder's mindset.

• Work closely with business stakeholders to frame business problems, identify the questions that matter and translate them into clear objectives and measurable success metrics.
• Own projects from start to finish: problem definition, data exploration, analysis, modelling, product build, deployment, adoption and continuous improvement.
• Carry out in-depth exploratory and statistical analysis on large and heterogeneous datasets (operational, financial, asset, sensor or geospatial data) to uncover insights and support decision-making.
• Apply sound statistical methods, such as hypothesis testing, experimental design, regression, time-series analysis, causal inference and uncertainty quantification, choosing the simplest approach that answers the business question.
• Develop predictive and prescriptive models (machine learning, forecasting, optimisation) when they add real value, validate them rigorously, and manage their lifecycle with MLflow (experiment tracking, model registry and versioning).
• Use agentic coding as the core way of working, orchestrating AI coding agents to design, write, test, refactor and document code, and to build complete data products with a FastAPI back end and a Vue front end.
• Review, validate and take full responsibility for agent-generated code, ensuring its quality, security, test coverage and maintainability.
• Deploy and maintain products in containerised environments (Docker and Kubernetes), following good engineering practices such as version control, CI/CD and monitoring.
• Communicate findings and results clearly to business teams and non-technical audiences, telling the story behind the data and measuring the business impact of each product.
• Share agentic coding practices and learnings with the team, and actively participate in knowledge-sharing activities within the Digital Hub and the broader Technology & Innovation area.
