ABOUT THE COMPANY

Infleqtion is a global quantum technology company solving the world’s most challenging problems. The company harnesses quantum mechanics to build and integrate quantum computers, sensors, and networks. From fundamental physics to leading edge commercial products, Infleqtion enables “quantum everywhere” through our ecosystem of devices and platforms.  Our mission is to commercialise atom-based quantum products that provide orders of magnitude improvements in performance and computing applications.

LOCATION

Infleqtion has offices in the USA, United Kingdom and Australia. This is a full-time position in our Kidlington, Oxford office. Our flexible working policy enables all full-time employees to work up to 2 days a week from home as work permits. 

POSITION SUMMARY

Infleqtion is recruiting a passionate and detail-driven Data Scientist to join our team, focusing on time series modelling and control systems. You’ll be developing predictive algorithms, identifying dynamic patterns and anomalies, and building models that help automate decision-making in real-time systems involving quantum sensors. This is a high-impact role bridging data science, physics and engineering disciplines. 

JOB RESPONSIBILITIES

The duties and responsibilities outlined below include essential functions of the role. Depending on business needs, this role may perform a combination of some or all of the following duties.

  • Design and implement robust time series models for forecasting, anomaly detection, and predictive maintenance. 
  • Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate predictive models into live quantum sensors. 
  • Evaluate performance of deployed models and develop tools/pipelines to continuously refine them. 
  • Analyse large-scale sensor and telemetry data from quantum sensor systems 
  • Effectively manage technical priorities, meet deadlines, and deliver on project objectives.

Requirements

  • Masters degree in a STEM field (maths, science, engineering etc.) or equivalent
  • Strong programming skills in Python (e.g., NumPy, Pandas, scikit-learn, TensorFlow/PyTorch). 
  • Demonstrable experience in creating and developing Python libraries. 
  • Demonstrable experience designing, implementing and training machine learning models from scratch.

  • Experience writing clean, efficient, and modular code suitable for production environments. 
     

Desirable Skills or Knowledge

  • Familiarity with AMO physics or quantum machine learning. 
  • Experience with MLOps best practices. 
  • Knowledge of systems like Apache Kafka, MQTT or real-time data pipelines. 
  • Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP). 
  • Deep expertise in time series modelling techniques (e.g., ARIMA, VAR, Prophet, LSTM). 
  • Solid grasp of control theory concepts (e.g., PID controllers, Kalman Filters, Model Predictive Control, Reinforcement Learning). 
  • Familiarity with lower-level development of data pipelines in e.g. C++/Rust. 

Benefits

STARTING COMPENSATION

In addition to your base compensation, we offer a generous Total Rewards program which includes:

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
