Direct message the job poster from Nuitée | Enabling all companies to build travel solutions

At Nuitée, we are building the API backbone for the global travel industry. Founded in , Nuitée is on a mission to transform a fragmented travel ecosystem with simple, scalable, and API-first infrastructure—think "Stripe for Travel."

By enabling seamless connectivity between hotels, OTAs, fintechs, super-apps, and businesses, some of which are entering the travel market for the first time, Nuitée empowers companies to deliver reliable travel products effortlessly. Our robust platform simplifies complex supplier networks, offering direct access to hotel inventory with better pricing, coverage, and technology.

With teams across the globe, including hubs in London, New York, San Francisco, Palma de Mallorca, and Casablanca, Nuitée has grown into a global infrastructure provider trusted by industry leaders like Hopper, Expedia, Priceline, Google, and Uber.

Now backed by leading VCs and world-class investors—including leaders from , Stripe, and Shopify—Nuitée is positioned to redefine the B2B travel market, streamline operations for hotels, and enable new applications through cutting-edge APIs.

Nuitée is at the forefront of a revolution—delivering AI-powered, smarter, and more personalized travel experiences for a new era.

About the Role

We envision our platform and data capabilities as a real-time "trading floor" for travel, where market dynamics shift rapidly and success depends on sophisticated quantitative insights. We are seeking a very senior Quantitative Analyst (Head of Quantitative Analysis) with experience in high-stakes trading environments to lead our quant team. In this role, you will leverage advanced statistical and machine learning models—akin to those used on trading floors—to build the quantitative backbone of our business. Your work will help optimize pricing, predict market shifts, and deliver strategic insights that drive the future of travel.

Responsibilities
  1. Own and develop the "trading floor" quantitative strategy for Nuitée, integrating real-time market data to optimize hotel and travel inventory.
  2. Lead the design, implementation, and maintenance of complex statistical and machine learning models to analyze booking patterns, customer behavior, and travel market trends.
  3. Create predictive models to forecast demand, optimize pricing, and improve inventory allocation—mirroring real-time risk management approaches seen on trading floors.
  4. Conduct high-impact A/B testing and other experimental designs to evaluate product and pricing changes.
  5. Develop and refine dynamic pricing algorithms, demand forecasting models, and recommendation engines that can handle large-scale data in real-time.
  6. Implement optimization solutions for route management, cost minimization, and personalized travel experiences.
  7. Translate complex data analyses into actionable insights for C-level stakeholders, product teams, and other decision-makers.
  8. Build and maintain dashboards and data visualizations, providing 360° oversight of key business metrics—similar to a trading floor's real-time analytics.
  9. Collaborate closely with product, engineering, and business teams to deploy data-driven solutions in production.
  10. Ensure data accuracy, consistency, and integrity through rigorous validation practices.
  11. Identify and resolve data quality issues in partnership with the data engineering team.
Qualifications & Knowledge
  1. Bachelor's or Master's degree in Mathematics, Statistics, Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field. PhD a plus.
  2. 5+ years of experience in a trading floor (or equivalent) environment, building and deploying advanced quantitative models.
  3. Proven track record in quantitative analysis, data science, or a similar role, preferably in the travel or tech industry (though trading experience is the priority).
  4. Strong proficiency in programming languages such as Python or R, especially for statistical computing and machine learning.
  5. Experience with data querying languages (SQL) and data visualization tools (e.g., Tableau, Power BI).
  6. Extensive knowledge of machine learning techniques (supervised/unsupervised learning, time-series forecasting) and a deep understanding of how to apply them in real-time trading or dynamic pricing contexts.
  7. Familiarity with big data frameworks (Spark, Hadoop) is a plus.
Skills
  1. Exceptional analytical and problem-solving abilities, honed in fast-paced environments where real-time decisions are critical.
  2. Excellent communication skills, with the ability to articulate complex quantitative concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
  3. Detail-oriented, with a passion for finding innovative data-driven solutions and a relentless drive for continuous improvement.
Why Nuitée is the place to be?

By joining Nuitée as our Head of Quantitative Analysis, you'll be part of an elite team that's building a category-defining platform. You'll work at a global scale, driving innovation alongside industry leaders, and help shape the next phase of travel technology—on a dynamic "trading floor" for travel data. If you're excited to push boundaries, redefine a multi-trillion-dollar industry, and apply cutting-edge quantitative methods in a real-time environment, Nuitée is the place for you.
