Summary

Perfect role for a mid professional looking to grow their AI & Technology career in Nottingham.

AI-driven products live or die on the quality of the data behind them. This growing technology company, an established SME with a reputation for solid engineering, needs a Quantitative Data Scientist who can turn messy, high-volume data into models that actually ship. It's a chance to work close to the product, not buried three layers away from it.

Here's what you'll be doing:

Build and validate statistical and machine learning models that feed directly into live AI & Technology products

Clean, structure and interrogate large datasets to find patterns the business can act on

Design experiments (A/B tests, causal inference studies) and report results in plain English to non-technical stakeholders

Work with engineers to get models into production, then monitor how they perform once they're live

Write clear documentation so your work can be picked up, audited and improved by others

Keep an eye on data quality upstream, flagging issues before they become someone else's problem

Here are the skills you'll need:

Solid grounding in statistics, probability and applied machine learning, not just theory

Strong Python (pandas, scikit-learn, and ideally some exposure to PyTorch or TensorFlow)

Comfortable writing production-grade SQL against large, imperfect datasets

A few years' experience as a Quantitative Data Scientist or similar, with evidence of models that made it past a notebook

Able to explain a technical finding to someone who doesn't want the maths, just the answer

Curious by default. The best people in this role ask "does this actually hold up" before they ship anything

Key perks and benefits:

£43,500 to £56,500 depending on experience, plus a bonus scheme

Hybrid working from the Nottingham office, with genuine flexibility around how that's split

Private medical insurance and a proper pension contribution

Generous annual leave, structured progression, and a company that's past the chaotic early-stage phase without losing its pace

Why pursue a career in AI & Technology?

AI & Technology is one of the few sectors where demand for good quantitative people has consistently outpaced supply, and that gap isn't closing soon. Nottingham has quietly built a strong cluster of technology employers outside London, which means Quantitative Data Scientist roles here often come with less competition and more room to actually influence the product. Get a few years of solid, varied work under your belt in this field and the career options tend to open up fast.
