We are looking for a Principal Digital Intelligence Engineer to run Brightbeam's data science and ML capability. At this level, you own the most complex data science workstreams across our strategic client engagements, define digital intelligence engineering standards for the organisation, own executive-level AI evaluation conversations, and build the capability of the DI Engineer team around you. This is a role for someone who has operated at enterprise scale, takes ML rigour seriously, and wants to set the standard for how AI is evaluated and deployed in production.

You will be the person clients turn to when the AI judgements matter most - and the person our engineers turn to when they need to know they are building it right.

Key requirements:

  • 8+ years experience, with the bulk in data science and ML at enterprise scale

  • Exceptional traditional ML: statistical modelling, classical ML, evaluation methods, experiment design

  • Production engineering capability to build, deploy, and scale intelligent systems end-to-end

  • Client-facing AI authority at executive level

  • Demonstrated capability building – has elevated teams, set ML standards, or established data science practices

What we offer:

  • Define ML and evaluation standards for a fast-growing AI consultancy

  • Executive-level client engagement on the most complex AI deployments

  • Team development accountability across the DI Engineer function

  • Four-day working week and fully remote model

  • Premium compensation package and professional development budget

How to apply:

Submit your details via and include your CV with a brief cover note explaining why this role interests you, what you would bring to Brightbeam, and one specific example of how you have used AI tools to improve your work. Quality over length.
