Job Introduction
The BBC has been serving audiences online for more than 20 years. We are making the shift from being a broadcaster to becoming a service that is directly shaped by our audiences.
To help drive this effort, we’re looking for a Principal Data Scientist to join the Content Publishing Data Science team. The successful candidate will be a technical leader in a highly cross-functional team, working to build AI products from research to impactful production systems.

Main Responsibilities
As a Principal Data Scientist, you will deliver value to BBC audiences by developing machine learning products at scale. You will do hands-on coding work to develop, deploy and iterate on generative AI systems, lead architecture design, implement ideas from recent research papers, do code reviews and set best practice.
The successful candidate will also have strong interpersonal skills to lead projects involving several different teams.
Are you the right candidate?
Essential criteria:
• Extensive hands-on experience in data science and machine learning.
• Strong coding skills, particularly in Python.
• Expertise in large language models/generative AI.
• Proven track record leading projects to deliver value in production.
