Senior Machine Learning Engineer | Cambridge / Hybrid | £80,000–£120,000 + Bonus

Join a fast-growing FinTech/InsurTech company in Cambridge that is transforming how financial and insurance products are built using machine learning and data-driven decision-making.

Their platform leverages advanced ML models to power areas such as fraud detection, risk modelling, underwriting optimisation, and customer analytics, enabling smarter and faster decisions at scale.

With strong investment and a product-led engineering culture, they are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to play a key role in building and deploying production-grade ML systems.

The Role

* Design, build, and deploy machine learning models for fraud detection, risk scoring, and predictive analytics

* Develop scalable ML pipelines and work closely with data engineering teams

* Collaborate with product and domain experts to translate business problems into ML solutions

* Optimise model performance and ensure reliability in production environments

* Contribute to architecture and best practices across ML and MLOps

Key Skills & Experience

* 4+ years’ experience in machine learning or AI roles

* Strong Python skills, with experience in frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn

* Experience deploying ML models into production, including MLOps, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes

* Solid understanding of statistics, data modelling, and software engineering principles

* Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

* Exposure to financial services or insurance domains is advantageous, but not essential

What’s in It for You?

* Work on high-impact ML systems solving real-world financial and risk challenges

* Join a collaborative, engineering-first environment with strong technical ownership

* Competitive salary of £80,000–£120,000, plus bonus

* Flexible hybrid working with a Cambridge-based office

* Clear progression and the opportunity to influence ML strategy

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

Where to advertise AI jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach AI engineers, ML scientists and applied research talent in the UK. 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

AI Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the generative AI, machine learning and applied AI hiring trends shaping UK artificial intelligence careers. 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.
