This is a focused, pragmatic engagement centred on data preparation, feature engineering, and anomaly detection - with an emphasis on clear, interpretable outputs for stakeholders. This is not a heavy Data Engineering or MLOps engagement. There is no requirement for live pipelines, streaming ingestion, or ongoing automated refresh. The successful candidate will work hands-on to profile data, engineer meaningful features, develop detection logic, and communicate findings effectively to non-technical stakeholders. Essential Skills & Experience • Strong Python for data processing and analytics (e.g., pandas, numpy; scikit-learn or equivalent), • Structured data expertise: joins, aggregations, data cleaning, handling missing data/outliers, basic data modelling concepts, • Feature engineering: ability to craft interpretable, business-relevant features, • Anomaly detection experience: practical knowledge of rule-based and statistical methods; ML-based approaches where appropriate, • Requirements & communication: ability to work with stakeholders, define success criteria, and explain outputs clearly Desirable (Nice to Have) • Power BI / BI visualisation (or similar) to support validation and stakeholder-facing outputs, • Familiarity with Azure for accessing datasets or sharing PoC artefacts (basic storage/compute), • Ability to outline what would be needed to scale the PoC toward production later (without implementing full MLOps now) Apply directly or contact
