Data Scientist

If you’re looking to take an exciting new direction with your HSBC career, an internal move can open the door to many opportunities, allowing you to take on a new challenge, and develop your skills. Bring your knowledge of our brand to a new role and grow yourself further.

Data and analytics are important enablers for the UK Business’s strategy and for achieving its outcomes. The UK Data & Analytics function is responsible for data risk and control management, delivering the data platform strategy and delivering data, analytics and AI products for the UK Business.

In this fantastic role, you’ll move closer to the decisions that shape the UK business and do it with a team that’s set up to deliver, not just experiment. You’ll take real ownership end-to-end, shaping problems with stakeholders, building solutions that get used, and seeing measurable impact on customers and colleagues through smarter, faster processes.

This role is also a strong platform for growth. You’ll be part of the Data Science Chapter community, with scope to influence standards and ways of working, build your profile across the UK organisation, and step into technical leadership while staying hands-on.

A move across the business allows you to continue to access tailored professional development opportunities, and our fantastic benefits packages.

• 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

• Strong Python & applied Machine Learning (ML) experience (e.g., pandas, scikit-learn, PyTorch/Tensor Flow) 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
