About Zeus


Zeus was founded to create a technology-driven solution that redefines how retailers, manufacturers, and distribution companies view and manage their supply chains. Whether the challenge involves improving on-time deliveries, scaling operations, or achieving digital transformation, our mission is to empower our customers to gain greater efficiency and control over their supply chains while contributing to a healthier planet.


Our software enables customers to solve problems in real time, gain end-to-end visibility, automate administrative tasks, and reduce carbon emissions. As we grow, we remain committed to developing innovative products and approaches that give our customers complete control over their logistics.


As Zeus continues to scale, we are seeking an experienced Growth Marketing Specialist to lead data-driven marketing strategies focused on acquiring Marketing Qualified Leads (MQLs). In this role, you will prioritise and optimise our lead-generation channels, owning and executing growth strategies and campaigns aimed at generating qualified leads to pass on to the sales team.


About the Role


Zeus Labs is seeking a Data Scientist to join our AI and Data Science team and help develop cutting-edge machine learning models and algorithms for Zeus Freight Command AI. The role involves creating predictive models and implementing algorithms that drive transport efficiency, demand forecasting, and automated carrier assignment. This position is ideal for a data science professional passionate about turning complex, unstructured data into actionable insights to fuel our AI-powered logistics platform.


Responsibilities


  • Develop and optimise machine learning models to support modules like demand forecasting, dynamic routing, and carrier optimisation, ensuring models can handle unstructured and noisy datasets.
  • Work with Data Engineers to ingest, clean, and structure ERP order data, addressing data inconsistency and quality issues to ensure robust model performance.
  • Perform exploratory data analysis (EDA) to uncover patterns, anomalies, and opportunities within logistics and supply chain data, building a foundation for model training and validation.
  • Design, implement, and fine-tune supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms to provide predictive insights into order volume, carrier performance, and delivery schedules.
  • Collaborate with Product Managers and Engineers to translate business objectives into data science initiatives, ensuring alignment with our AI-driven product roadmap.
  • Validate model accuracy, precision, , and perform error analysis to ensure high-quality predictions.
  • Develop documentation and tools for model interpretability and reproducibility, enabling effective communication of model results to non-technical stakeholders.


Qualifications


  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Data Science, Statistics, Machine Learning, or a related field;
  • Strong proficiency in Python (Pandas, Scikit-Learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch) and SQL for data manipulation and model development.
  • Good understanding and application of statistical concepts


Experience


  • 4 to 5 years of experience in data science, focusing on data wrangling and handling unstructured data and data cleaning.
  • Hands-on experience working with unstructured data and knowledge of best data cleaning and transformation practices
  • Experience with ERP data or similar systems is a plus, particularly in integrating ERP data with machine learning pipelines.
  • Significant experience with AWS services (AWS SageMaker, S3, Lambda, Redshift) for scalable model deployment.
  • Experience with pre-trained AI models from providers like Nvidia, OpenAI, and Microsoft is valuable.
  • Strong communication skills and the ability to explain complex models with presentation layer equivalent to Power BI or the AWS and insights to diverse audiences.

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.
