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 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.

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