Job Title: Machine Learning Engineer

Location: London

Salary: Up to £70,000 DOE

This is a unique opportunity for a Machine Learning Engineer to join a well-funded early-stage company building frontier AI systems focused on optimising complex operational environments. Working at the intersection of scientific machine learning, time-series modelling, optimisation, and real-world deployment, you will help shape products designed for measurable real-world impact.

This is a hands-on engineering role where you will work closely with a high-calibre founding team, industrial data, and customer environments to take machine learning systems from early validation through to scalable deployment.

The Role

You will design, build, and deploy advanced machine learning models capable of solving complex operational challenges in real-world environments. Working closely with engineering and product teams, you will help develop scalable systems that can operate effectively with imperfect, high-volume data while contributing to the long-term technical direction of the platform.

Requirements

* A strong academic background in a quantitative STEM discipline such as Computer Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering, or related fields

* Commercial experience developing machine learning solutions using Python and modern ML frameworks

* Strong understanding of applied machine learning techniques, particularly around modelling complex systems and large-scale datasets

* Experience working with time-series, forecasting, optimisation, or probabilistic modelling approaches

* Comfortable working with unstructured or inconsistent real-world data in production settings

* A problem-solving mindset with the ability to work autonomously within a fast-moving environment

* Interest in applying machine learning to operational, industrial, or physical systems

Desirable Experience

* Experience deploying ML systems into production environments

* Exposure to scientific machine learning, simulation, or reinforcement learning

* Familiarity with cloud infrastructure and scalable ML pipelines

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
