Roles and Responsibilities
Actica recognises that data engineering, analytics, and data science are distinct but interconnected disciplines. Our data engineers focus on building and maintaining the data infrastructure that enables analytics and data science work, while our data scientists and analysts focus on deriving insights and developing models.
At Actica, we're at the forefront of the UK government's AI transformation agenda, seeking skilled data specialists to architect and implement advanced analytics solutions for critical public sector and defence organisations. As part of our team, you'll leverage technologies like Palantir, Tableau, and cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) to build scalable data infrastructure, develop machine learning models, and create robust solutions that enhance public service delivery.
Working in classified environments, you'll tackle complex challenges using tools like Hadoop, Spark, and modern visualisation frameworks while implementing automation that drives government efficiency. You'll collaborate with stakeholders to transform legacy systems, implement data governance frameworks, and ensure solutions meet the highest security standards.
Our deep expertise in public sector digital transformation and established presence across defence and government organisations offer unique opportunities to shape the future of UK public services through innovative data-driven solutions.
With our strong technical foundation and focus on mission-critical systems, you'll be part of a team delivering nationally significant projects that have a real impact on public service delivery.
