As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in building systems that drive the training and deployment of large-scale ML models across our global operations. You'll collaborate with leading researchers, hardware experts, and software engineers to build robust solutions that maximize the potential of GPU acceleration, distributed computing, and the latest open-source tools. Your work will influence our trading strategies by accelerating experimentation cycles that foster continuous innovation and refinement.

This is a unique opportunity to solve problems at the intersection of advanced machine learning and trading, where your contributions will shape the future of IMC's technology and trading capabilities.

Your Core Responsibilities:

  • Develop large-scale distributed training pipelines to manage datasets and complex models
  • Build and optimize low-latency inference pipelines, ensuring models deliver real-time predictions in production systems
  • Develop libraries to improve the performance of machine learning frameworks
  • Maximize performance in training and inference using GPU hardware and acceleration libraries
  • Design scalable model frameworks capable of handling high-volume trading data and delivering real-time, high-accuracy predictions
  • Collaborate with quantitative researchers to automate ML experiments, hyperparameter tuning, and model retraining
  • Partner with HPC specialists to optimize workflows, improve training speed, and reduce costs
  • Evaluate and roll out third-party tools to enhance model development, training, and inference capabilities
  • Dig into the internals of open-source ML tools to extend their capabilities and improve performance

Your Skills and Experience:

  • 5+ years of experience in machine learning with a focus on training or inference systems
  • Hands-on experience with real-time, low-latency ML pipelines in high-performance environments is a strong plus
  • Strong engineering skills, including Python, CUDA, or C++
  • Knowledge of machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
  • Proficiency in GPU programming for training and inference acceleration (e.g., CuDNN, TensorRT)
  • Experience with distributed training for scaling ML workloads (e.g., Horovod, NCCL)
  • Exposure to cloud platforms and orchestration tools
  • A track record of contributing to open-source projects in machine learning, data science, or distributed systems is a plus

The Base Salary range for the role is included below. Base salary is only one component of total compensation; all full-time, permanent positions are eligible for a discretionary bonus and benefits, including paid leave and insurance.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

AI Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Artificial intelligence is creating jobs faster than the market can name them. New roles are appearing every quarter, existing titles are splitting into specialisms, and the technologies underpinning it all are evolving at a pace that makes even last year's job descriptions feel dated. For job seekers, this presents a genuinely unusual challenge. In most industries, career planning means understanding a relatively stable landscape and working out where you fit within it. In AI, the landscape itself is being redrawn in real time. The roles with the most hiring activity in 2028 may not yet have a widely agreed job title in 2026. That's not a reason to feel overwhelmed — it's a reason to get informed. The candidates who thrive in this market aren't necessarily those with the longest CVs or the most credentials. They're the ones who understand the direction of travel: which skills are gaining value, which technologies are driving employer decisions, and how the definition of an "AI job" is expanding well beyond the tech sector. This article breaks down what the UK AI jobs market is likely to look like over the next three years — covering emerging job titles, the technologies reshaping hiring, the skills employers are prioritising, and how to position yourself ahead of the curve rather than behind it.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.
