About the Role

We are seeking an experienced Data & ML Contractor to deliver a proof of concept using static, structured datasets. 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.

• Strong Python for data processing and analytics (e.g., pandas, numpy; scikit-learn or equivalent)
• Structured data expertise: joins, aggregations, data cleaning, handling...
