The team is what makes Cambridge Spark successful. We offer every employee the opportunity to develop according to their own potential and have a real business impact from day one. Our work is at the cutting edge of data science, machine learning and AI and our learning programmes transform the careers and lives of our alumni.
The Cambridge Spark team is a diverse family of people from a range of cultures and backgrounds. What unites us is a passion for the opportunity we have to collectively transform how digital skills are assessed and shared. Each colleague brings unique strengths to complement our strong team, shares their talents with others and grows as we venture on this journey together.

“I felt settled in almost immediately and was put on three training courses within my first month of being here. Within days I met some of our students who had already landed jobs as Data Scientists. This really stuck with me and made me believe in our mission. I can now say I truly love what I do.”

“Being a startup, working here is hard and challenging but all the more rewarding as I can see the immediate impact my work has on our products. I also get to work with nice smart people that challenge me to learn new things and up my game. They are also fun to hang out with – something we do often, whether it be during our regular monthly social events or random Friday beers!”
