About the Role

We are building a new R&D capability focused on developing data-driven and AI-enabled products for legal services and the wider business of law. The Data Scientist & Engineer will work within R&D alongside the Data Programme to build foundational data capabilities required for those products, including trusted, reusable data assets, reliable pipelines, data quality, lakehouse models, and analytical products. This is a hands-on hybrid data-engineering and applied-data-science role, with particular responsibility for building data products in Microsoft Fabric and Databricks.

Responsibilities

Partner with the Data Programme, data owners and system teams to assess, access and combine priority internal and external data sources, understanding quality, permissions and fitness for use.
Design, build and operate reliable pipelines in Microsoft Fabric and Databricks to ingest, clean, standardise, enrich, version and publish structured, semi-structured and unstructured data as reusable data assets.
Create scalable lakehouse data models, schemas, data contracts and reusable features for entities such as clients, organisations, people, matters, sectors, jurisdictions, opportunities and legal topics.
Implement data-quality checks, lineage, provenance, observability, monitoring and change management within Fabric and Databricks workflows so data assets remain trusted over time.
Conduct exploratory data analysis to surface patterns, gaps, anomalies and data-quality issues, and identify opportunities for analysis, modelling or product use.
Develop, compare and validate appropriate statistical and machine-learning models for classification, ranking, recommendation, forecasting, anomaly detection, similarity or extraction problems.
Use NLP, embeddings and LLM-assisted techniques responsibly for classification, entity resolution, information extraction, clustering and relationship discovery across document-heavy data.
Publish curated datasets, features and analytical outputs through approved Fabric and Databricks data products, tables, APIs, search indexes, batch pipelines or product features.
Maintain reproducible code, tests, model and data documentation, evaluation evidence and clear statements of limitations and appropriate use.
Use AI agents and coding assistants responsibly to accelerate exploratory work, pipeline development, testing and documentation, while retaining ownership of analytical judgement and verification.

Requirements

At least three years' professional experience in a hybrid data-engineering and applied-data-science role, including delivery of reliable pipelines, reusable data assets and useful analytical models in Microsoft Fabric and Databricks.
Advanced Python, SQL and PySpark, including experience with data transformation, analysis and common machine-learning libraries.
Hands-on experience designing and operating scalable data pipelines, lakehouse data models, Delta and SQL transformations, and data-quality controls in Microsoft Fabric and Databricks.
Strong grounding in exploratory data analysis, statistics, feature engineering, model selection, validation and error analysis.
Practical experience with NLP, information extraction, entity resolution, embeddings or other techniques relevant to document-heavy and relationship-rich data.
Good understanding of data lineage, provenance, metadata, access controls, permissions and the responsible use of sensitive data within an enterprise data estate.
Experience with Git, automated testing, API integration, CI/CD and version-controlled deployment of data workloads in Microsoft Fabric and Databricks.
Ability to translate a business question into a well-formed analytical problem and communicate findings, uncertainty and trade-offs clearly.
Proficiency with AI agents and agentic development workflows, coupled with rigorous validation of code, data transformations and analytical conclusions.
