Investment Firm

  • Build cutting-edge investment signals with real-world impact.
  • Work at the intersection of quant, sustainability, and tech.
  • Combine research, engineering, and publishing in one role.


This is a fantastic opportunity to join a growing, tech-forward quant research team. As a Senior Data Scientist, you’ll be joining a collaborative and innovation-focused environment where you’ll help solve complex problems using modern AI and machine learning techniques. You’ll work on designing intelligent systems that uncover hidden signals in data and influence how assets are allocated.


What you’ll be doing:

This role is ideal for someone who’s motivated by research, enjoys working with large-scale data systems, and wants to contribute to real, measurable outcomes across different parts of a business. You’ll be encouraged to bring new ideas, explore emerging technologies, and push the boundaries of what’s possible.


You’ll help design and build scalable data platforms and intelligent models that deliver insights from diverse and often unstructured data sources. Whether it's creating pipelines, fine-tuning models, or publishing original research, your work will support a range of innovative projects.


The team combines technical depth with academic curiosity—so expect a mix of collaboration, experimentation, and real-world application. You'll be working alongside senior technologists, analysts, and domain experts in a space where research truly informs direction.


In this role, you’ll be responsible for developing scalable data infrastructure and AI models to support next-gen sustainable investment strategies. You’ll build real-time data pipelines, mine alternative and unstructured datasets, and apply advanced machine learning techniques to surface insights that drive portfolio construction.


What experience you’ll need to apply:

  • PhD (or equivalent experience) in Computer Science, Quantitative Finance, or related fields
  • Deep experience with machine learning, NLP, and data mining (especially from unstructured or alternative sources)
  • Strong coding ability in Python; familiarity with cloud environments and scalable data platforms
  • Experience with data pipeline tools (e.g. Kafka, SQL, DevOps, microservices)
  • Prior publications, patents or research contributions


What you’ll get in return:

A salary of between £70,000 - £100,000 per annum and working on a hybrid basis in London.

Quantum-Enhanced AI in Data Science: Embracing the Next Frontier

Data science has undergone a staggering transformation in the past decade, evolving from a niche academic discipline into a linchpin of modern industry. Across every sector—finance, healthcare, retail, manufacturing—data scientists have become indispensable, leveraging statistical methods and machine learning to turn raw information into actionable insights. Yet as datasets grow ever larger and machine learning models become more computationally expensive, there are genuine questions about how far current methods can be pushed. Enter quantum computing, a nascent but promising technology grounded in the counterintuitive principles of quantum mechanics. Often dismissed just a few years ago as purely experimental, quantum computing is quickly gaining traction as prototypes evolve into cloud-accessible machines. When paired with artificial intelligence—particularly in the realm of data science—the results could be game-changing. From faster model training and complex optimisation to entirely new forms of data analysis, quantum-enhanced AI stands poised to disrupt established practices and create new opportunities. In this article, we will: Explore how data science has reached its current limits in certain areas, and why classical hardware might no longer suffice. Provide an accessible overview of quantum computing concepts and how they differ from classical systems. Examine the potential of quantum-enhanced AI to solve key data science challenges, from data wrangling to advanced machine learning. Highlight real-world applications, emerging job roles, and the skills you need to thrive in this new landscape. Offer actionable steps for data professionals eager to stay ahead of the curve in a rapidly evolving field. Whether you’re a practising data scientist, a student weighing up your future specialisations, or an executive curious about the next technological leap, read on. The quantum era may be closer than you think, and it promises to radically transform the very fabric of data science.
