In this fantastic role, you’ll build machine learning that makes a real difference, powering smarter decisions, faster processes, and better outcomes for customers and colleagues.

This is a role for someone who wants end-to-end ownership: shaping problems with stakeholders, developing and deploying production-grade solutions, and seeing measurable impact (not just prototypes). You’ll work in an agile pod with strong engineering standards, using modern tooling and cloud capabilities to deliver automation, insight and ML products that get used.

You’ll also grow your profile through our Data Science Chapter community, with opportunities to influence ways of working and step into hands-on technical leadership.

As an HSBC employee in the UK, you’ll have access to tailored professional development opportunities and a competitive pay and benefits package. This includes private healthcare for all UK-based employees, enhanced maternity and adoption pay and support when you return to work, and a contributory pension scheme with a generous employer contribution.

In this role, you will:

• Develop, test, deploy, and maintain data analytics and data science solutions (end-to-end)
• Build automation and insight generation from data to improve decision making and outcomes
• Work in an agile pod, contributing to delivery and agile project management
• Provide technical leadership within the pod, setting good engineering standards and direction
• Consult with stakeholders to understand business problems and solve them using analytics, visualisation, and machine learning

To be successful in this role you should have the following skills:

• Strong Python & applied Machine Learning (ML) experience (e.g., pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/TensorFlow) with clean, testable code
• Software development discipline for delivering production-grade code
• Open-source tooling confidence (e.g., Jupyter, Airflow, vector databases) including the ability to assess choices and manage governance
• Cloud experience (e.g. GCP) building real-time data processing and ML inference pipelines
• Stakeholder consulting capability and the ability to translate business problems into analytics/ML solutions

Being open to different points of view is important for our business and the communities we serve. At HSBC, we’re dedicated to creating diverse and inclusive workplaces - no matter their gender, ethnicity, disability, religion, sexual orientation, socio-economic background or age. We are committed to removing barriers and ensuring careers at HSBC are inclusive and accessible for everyone to be at their best. We take pride in being a Disability Confident Leader and will offer an interview to people with disabilities, long term conditions or neurodivergent candidates who meet the minimum criteria for the role.
