Company: Quiet Capital
Location: London
Job Description:
We’re hiring a Research Data Scientist to join us at an exciting early stage. You’ll play a central role in helping us turn messy, real-world industry data into AI-driven insights and products. The role is a mix of data exploration, applied ML, and experimentation with LLMs. You’ll be designing and running experiments, proving what works, and collaborating closely with engineers to turn research into production-ready systems.
What you will do:
- Wrangle large, messy datasets from legacy systems and real-world processes into structured, usable formats
- Design, run, and evaluate experiments with rigorous statistical methods to validate hypotheses and measure business impact
- Build and prototype ML models for forecasting, optimization, and recommendation across domains like sales, inventory, and operations
- Explore and fine-tune large language models (LLMs) for practical use cases in industry workflows
- Collaborate with engineers to take promising research into production
- Contribute to a culture of experimentation
What we look for:
- Scientific mindset (Master/PhD in math/science)
- Rigorous about experimentation and statistical reasoning
- 4+ years of hands-on experience in data science/ML/applied research or a PhD plus 2+ years
- Comfortable designing and running experiments with proper baselines, controls, and statistical evaluation
- Excited to explore and apply LLMs
- Thrive in a dynamic, iterative environment
- No industry knowledge required
Technical skillset – Must:
- Python
- common data science/ML libraries (e.g., pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, Hugging Face)
- experiment design
- evaluation metrics
Nice to have:
- LLM fine-tuning
- prompt engineering
- SQL/PostgreSQL
