Junior Data Scientist

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 lifecycle - 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 (e.g. R, C/C++, C#)

Location & Working Style

Based in Glasgow, with a hybrid working model and flexibility around hours.

Candidates must have the full right to work in the UK permanently without visa sponsorship.
