The team
Our Data Science team helps Zopa make better credit decisions. We partner closely with Credit Strategy, Product and Engineering to turn ambiguous business problems into robust models, clear analysis and practical solutions.
We are growing a dedicated, product-facing data science capability focused predominantly on credit. The team will help rebuild and expand the models that support consumer-credit decisions, while increasing the sophistication of how we model risk, value and outcomes.
This is a hands-on individual-contributor role in a lean, collaborative environment. You will have real ownership, with space to shape the work and build alignment across the people needed to make it happen.
We are hiring at both mid and senior level, and will assess candidates at the level that best reflects their experience, technical depth and scope of impact.
Added bonus
At Zopa we value flexible ways of working.
We value face-to-face collaboration and a good work-life balance. This hybrid role requires you to come to our London office 2-3 days a week.
You'll also have the option of working from abroad for up to 120 days a year!* But no matter where you are, we’ll make sure you’ve got everything you need to thrive, both in your work and home life, from day one.
*Subject to having the right to work in the country of choice

Our approach to AI in interviews
At Zopa, AI isn't something we're testing out — it's part of how we work every day. As a proud partner of Jobs 2030, we're committed to building AI fluency across our workforce, and we expect Zopians to use AI as part of how they do their jobs.
Because of that, we want to be transparent about how we think about AI use during our hiring process.
Behavioural and competency-based interviews: please don't use AI. These conversations are designed to understand you — your experiences, your judgment, and how you've approached real situations. An AI-generated answer can't tell us that. What it can do is get in the way of us finding out whether we're the right fit for each other.
Technical interviews: it depends on the role. Some technical stages actively welcome AI use, others don't. Your Talent Partner will let you know what's expected at each stage. Where AI is part of the assessment, we'll be interested not just in the outcome, but in how you used it – the tools you chose, your reasoning, and the decisions you made along the way.
