I'm hiring for a Data Scientist to join a growing technology company applying advanced data science and machine learning to complex, real-world problems in a highly regulated environment.
The company has built a proprietary analytical platform that has been successfully validated through large-scale, real-world use. The work is firmly applied rather than academic, with a strong focus on robustness, performance, and practical impact. Following recent progress, the R&D team is now expanding and offers a collaborative, mission-driven culture.
The Role
This role focuses on applied machine learning and data analysis, working with complex datasets alongside scientists and engineers. You'll contribute across the model life cycle - from exploration and development through to evaluation, documentation, and deployment-ready outputs.
The position suits an early- to mid-level Data Scientist looking to work on meaningful problems, gain exposure to production-grade ML, and develop technical judgement with support from senior colleagues.
Essential Experience
* Degree in a quantitative or scientific discipline, or equivalent professional experience
* Hands-on experience developing machine learning models
* Strong Python skills and clean coding practices
* Ability to work with complex datasets and communicate results clearly
* Comfortable collaborating across technical and non-technical teams
* Experience producing clear technical documentation or reports
Nice to Have
* Experience in regulated or safety-critical environments
* Linux or high-performance computing exposure
* Knowledge of databases or data pipelines
* Experience with additional languages (eg R, C/C++, C#)
Location & Working Style
Based in Glasgow, with a hybrid working model and flexibility around hours.
