As a Senior Full-Stack Data Scientist at Zero100, you will play a central role in building and scaling the data foundations that power our research, product, and member-facing teams. You’ll be hands-on across the full data stack: designing and operating pipelines, leading exploratory analyses, and developing ML and LLM-powered tools that enhance our capabilities. This is an end-to-end role where you’ll own projects from ideation to pilot to production, exercising strong judgment to deliver high-quality solutions. You’ll collaborate closely with colleagues in research, product, membership, and revenue operations, thriving in an environment where you can wear many hats, balance engineering with analytics, and help shape data practices as we scale.

Responsibilities

  • Develop and operate scalable, reliable data pipelines and infrastructure, with a focus on efficiency, maintainability, and smooth end-to-end data flow
  • Work closely with the research team to understand analytical needs and develop clean, reusable data products to power insights
  • Conduct advanced analyses and exploratory data science projects to support strategic priorities
  • Build and productionize LLM and ML-powered internal tools
  • Champion best practices around data architecture, governance (e.g., Unity Catalog), and performance tuning
  • Collaborate within a small, hands-on data team (data scientists, analysts, and BI developers) in a fast-moving environment

Requirements

  • 5-7 years of experience in data roles, ideally in startup or high-growth environments, with a track record of owning end-to-end projects across the data stack
  • Experience building production-grade data pipelines (primarily in Python and SQL) in cloud environments, with an emphasis on scalability, code clarity, and long-term maintainability
  • Hands-on experience with Databricks and/or Spark, especially Delta Lake, Unity Catalog, and MLflow
  • Deep familiarity with cloud platforms, particularly AWS and Google Cloud
  • Proven ability to manage data architecture and production pipelines in a fast-paced environment
  • Track record of leading or independently owning analytics projects with real business impact
  • Experience applying LLMs and/or ML models to internal tools or business problems
  • Strong communication skills and ability to work with stakeholders to understand needs and explain complex ideas clearly
  • Comfortable with ambiguity and excited to help shape processes, standards, and infrastructure as we scale
  • Ability and willingness to work from our London office 4 days per week

Benefits

What We Offer:

    • Competitive salary and bonus
    • Unlimited holidays

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.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Machine Learning Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's machine learning sector has evolved into one of Europe's most intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior ML engineers to principal machine learning scientists and heads of artificial intelligence research. With machine learning positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate ML engineers to £160,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this pioneering and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, machine learning hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by AI research cycles, model development timelines, and algorithmic innovation schedules. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.

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.
