Lead Data Scientist

Lead Data Scientist

As a Product Data Scientist, you will work closely with our product and engineering teams to formulate and answer key questions about our product. You will play a central role in collecting, modeling, and analyzing data, and will drive meaningful changes to our product and user experiences based on your findings. In this role, you will report to our Chief Product Officer.

Who You Are

You are curious, inquisitive, and enjoy solving ambiguous, open-ended problems. You are able to identify high-impact problem areas with little direction. You have a healthy skepticism about data and know when to dig deeper into a problem.

You have the technical skills to work independently. You are comfortable with advanced modeling and statistical techniques and are highly fluent in SQL and Python. You have deep experience with experiment design and analysis.

You are a strong communicator and are able to explain complex concepts to a wide audience. You are adept at crafting clear and impactful data visualizations.

You are meticulous and forthright. You are experienced with finding clear answers despite messy data sets and are able to catch data issues as they arise. Ideally, you have experience as a data scientist at a fast-growing company and have a proven record of impact.

What You Will Do

In this role, you will play a key part in defining the data culture within Modal and ensure that we have principled, data-driven decision-making processes. As part of the early data team, you will work on numerous zero-to-one projects and will have a direct impact on our product direction. You’ll have the opportunity to work alongside our product and engineering teams on high-profile feature launches that are used by consumers and brands every day.

There are numerous complex product questions that we would look to a data partner to help the team untangle. On a given day, you may be performing and sharing complex analyses that inform a wide variety of decisions. Or you may be playing a hands-on role in product launches, ensuring that we understand the impact of new features on users and can identify potential issues early in the process. You will have the opportunity to do foundational analysis on important, unsolved questions.

As an early team member at Modal you will be a critical voice and have significant influence over the direction of the company. We will compensate you well, invest deeply in your development, and ensure this is the single best work experience of your life. If you think you might be a good fit for our team, we’d love to hear from you.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has quickly become one of the most transformative forces in modern technology. What began as a subset of artificial intelligence—focused on algorithms that learn from data—has grown into a foundational capability across industries. From voice assistants and recommendation systems to fraud detection and predictive healthcare, machine learning underpins countless innovations shaping daily life. In the UK, demand for ML professionals has surged. Financial services, healthcare providers, retailers, and tech start-ups are investing heavily in ML talent. Roles like Machine Learning Engineer, Data Scientist, and AI Researcher are among the most sought-after and best-paid in the tech sector. Yet we are still only at the start. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, edge intelligence, and ethical governance are reshaping the field. Many of the most critical machine learning jobs of the next 10–20 years don’t exist yet. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the kinds of roles likely to appear, how today’s jobs will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
