AI Data Scientist – Ocean Intelligence
London | Early Career (2–5 Years)
Build AI that helps the world understand its oceans. The ocean covers more than 70% of our planet, yet it remains one of the least monitored environments on Earth.
Samudra Oceans is changing that.
They're building NIRA, an AI-powered ocean intelligence platform that combines autonomous sensing, software and machine learning to transform live environmental data into actionable insight. Their technology enables governments, industry and researchers to better understand, protect and manage marine environments through real-time intelligence.
With deployments already live across the UK, Italy, Spain, India, Jamaica and Sri Lanka, an Earthshot Prize nomination, a COP29 People's Choice Award, and Series A funding underway, this is an exciting opportunity to join a company entering its next phase of growth.
The Opportunity
Samudra Oceans is looking for an AI Data Scientist who enjoys building software as much as analysing data. This role is ideal for someone with strong Python skills who wants to apply machine learning to real-world problems, working with live environmental sensor data collected from deployments around the globe.
Rather than producing reports or dashboards, you'll be developing the data pipelines, AI models and software that power the next generation of ocean intelligence.
You'll work alongside AI engineers, hardware engineers and marine scientists in a highly collaborative environment where software directly interacts with the physical world.

Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
What You'll Be Doing
- Build robust Python applications and scalable data pipelines that ingest and process live environmental sensor data.
- Develop software that transforms raw sensor data into reliable, actionable intelligence.
- Apply machine learning techniques to identify patterns, anomalies and environmental events.
- Engineer features, evaluate models and help deploy AI into production.
- Work with complex time-series and geospatial datasets generated by real-world marine deployments.
- Collaborate closely with hardware engineers and marine scientists to understand how environmental conditions influence sensor behaviour and data quality.
- Create intuitive data visualisations that communicate complex information clearly to customers and stakeholders.
- Help shape the future of an AI platform solving real-world environmental challenges.
About You
You'll probably have 2–5 years' experience as a Data Scientist, Machine Learning Engineer, Software Engineer or in a similar technical role. You're someone who enjoys writing clean, maintainable code and applying AI to solve challenging problems.
You'll have experience with:
- Strong Python programming
- Pandas and NumPy
- Machine learning techniques and model evaluation
- Building data pipelines and processing complex datasets
- Writing production-quality software
Experience with any of the following would be an advantage:
- Geospatial data or GIS
- Remote sensing
- Environmental or scientific datasets
- Cloud platforms
- IoT, robotics or embedded systems
- Sensor data processing
