Data Scientist (Palantir / FDP essential) – £560/day (Inside IR35) – RemoteYou will require Palantir (FDP) experience as well and UK Citizenship to apply
I’m currently looking for an experienced Data Scientist with strong Data Engineering capability to join a high-profile public sector organisation working on a major digital screening programme.
This is a genuinely impactful piece of work where you’ll be shaping how data is used to drive decisions through modern dashboards and reporting products.
What you’ll be doing
You’ll be working as part of an Agile, multidisciplinary team, taking ownership of data exploration and engineering to support new digital services.
On a day-to-day basis, you will:
*Lead exploratory data analysis to understand datasets and inform product decisions
*Define dashboard requirements and determine what good looks like from a reporting perspective
*Design and build data pipelines and datasets for dashboards
*Identify and mitigate data quality risks
*Develop reusable code in Python and PySpark for data prep and analysis
*Collaborate closely with Data Engineers, Analysts and UCD professionals
*Work within modern engineering practices including CI/CD, TDD and DevSecOps
*Pair programme and contribute to a strong engineering culture
What I need from you (essential)

*Palantir (FDP)
*Python
*PySpark
*Exploratory Data Analysis
*Data pipeline design / data engineering concepts
*Dashboard / reporting dataset development
*BI tools (Redshift, Databricks or similar)
*Agile delivery environments
If these technologies aren’t clearly visible on your CV, you’re unlikely to be shortlisted – so please make sure they are easy to find before applying.
Nice to have (not essential)
*Experience within a wider public sector data environment
*Exposure to screening or clinical datasets
What this role IS
*A hands-on data role blending Data Science and Engineering
*A chance to influence real-world digital services
*A collaborative Agile environment working with strong technical teams
*A role where you’ll own problems and drive solutions
What this role ISN’T
*Not a purely academic Data Science position
*Not a reporting-only / BA-style role
*Not a role where you’ll just “pick up tickets” with no ownership
*Not suitable if your experience is light on Python, PySpark or Palantir
