THE ROLEThe BBC has been serving audiences online for more than 20 years. 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 to 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.
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.
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.
• Good knowledge of cloud services, ideally AWS.
• Knowledge 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
About the BBCThe BBC is committed to redeploying employees seeking suitable alternative employment within the BBC. We value diversity and are committed to being truly inclusive and a place where everyone belongs.
