Job IntroductionThe BBC has been serving audiences online for more than 20 years. Across key products including BBC iPlayer, News, Sport, Weather and Sounds, we entertain, educate and inform audiences in their millions every day.

But behind the scenes we have work to do. We are making the shift from being a broadcaster that speaks to our audiences to becoming a service that is directly shaped by them and designed around their wants and needs. We are creating personalised content, products and services that bring the right content, to the right people, at the right time: a personalised BBC. This will be our greatest leap since iPlayer, and that's why it's right at the top of our agenda.

At the BBC we see data science as fundamental on that journey. We use data and machine learning to enrich our content, improve journalist workflows and power personalised experiences for millions of audience members.

To help drive this effort, we're looking for a Principal Data Scientist to join the Content Discovery (Recommendations) team. The successful candidate will be a technical leader in a cross-functional team of data scientists, engineers, product managers, editorial, and UX designers, to have real impact on millions of audience members. They will apply their technical expertise to identify and implement the best solutions to build recommender systems able to provide our audiences with the most relevant and engaging content at the right place and the right time - in other words, to build the future of personalisation at the BBC.

Interview ProcessThere is a 2-stage process:

Hiring manager introductory call covering role background and candidate motivations for applying.1.5 hour panel interview including a technical presentation from the candidate and role relevant competency-based questions.

Main ResponsibilitiesAs a Principal Data Scientist, you will work hands-on to deliver value to BBC audiences by developing data science products at scale. We are looking for 'T-shaped' individuals, combining a breadth of knowledge with deep specialism in one or two areas. You will do hands-on coding work to develop, deploy and iterate on recommender systems, lead architecture design, implement ideas from recent research papers, do code reviews and set best practices.

The successful candidate will also have strong interpersonal skills to lead projects involving several different teams, such as the data science & engineering, AI research, ML platform and user-facing application teams, and to effectively engage with editorial stakeholders.

Principal Data Scientists at the BBC are expected to have an impact both within their immediate team and across the wider BBC data science/AI community, shaping technical direction, culture and ways of working. We'd love to see enthusiasm about sharing your knowledge and guiding others.

Are you the right candidate?

Key criteria:Extensive hands-on experience in data science and machine learning.Strong coding skills in Python.Experience developing and deploying recommender systems.Proven track record contributing to technical machine learning projects.Ability to clearly communicate to both technical and non-technical audiences.Ability to work effectively in a cross-functional team.

Desirable experience:Experience with model lifecycle management and MLOps, including model deployment, versioning and monitoring.Good knowledge of cloud services, ideally AWS.Knowledge and understanding of best practices such as testing, code management and deployment.Mentorship of other team members.

You are encouraged to apply even if you don't meet every one of the criteria above

You'll find above some of the skills and experience we expect from a Principal Data Scientist. Please do not think you have to tick all boxes: you will be working in a supportive and collaborative team, where we aim to put everyone in the condition to contribute at their best and feel that their work is useful and valued. Besides, you will find great development and learning opportunities to support your professional growth.

We value diversity and are committed to be truly inclusive and a place where everyone belongs.

About the BBCThe BBC is committed to redeploying employees seeking suitable alternative employment within the BBC for different reasons and they will be given priority consideration ahead of other applicants. Priority consideration means for those employees seeking redeployment their application will be considered alongside anyone else at risk of redundancy, prior to any individuals being considered who are not at risk.

We don't focus simply on what we do - we also care how we do it. Our values and the way we behave are important to us. Please make sure you've read about our values and behaviours here.

Diversity matters at the BBC. We have a working environment where we value and respect every individual's unique contribution, enabling all our employees to thrive and achieve their full potential.

We want to attract the broadest range of talented people to be part of the BBC - whether that's to contribute to our programming or our wide range of non-production roles. The more diverse our workforce, the better able we are to respond to and reflect our audiences in all their diversity.

We are committed to equality of opportunity and welcome applications from individuals, regardless of age, gender, ethnicity, disability, sexual orientation, gender identity, socio-economic background, religion and/or belief. We will consider flexible working requests for all roles, unless operational requirements prevent otherwise.#J-18808-Ljbffr
