  • Optimisation: Optimise machine learning solutions for performance and scalability.
  • Custom Code: Implement tailored machine learning code to meet specific needs.
  • Data Engineering: Ensure efficient data flow between databases and backend systems.
  • MLOps: Automate ML workflows focusing on testing reproducibility and feature / metadata storage.
  • ML Architecture Design: Create machine learning architectures using Google Cloud tools and services.
  • Engineering Software for Production: Build and deploy production‑grade software for machine learning and data‑driven solutions.

What You’ll Bring

  • Experience: 1‑3 years as a Machine Learning Engineer preferably with a consulting background.
  • Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python as a backend language capable of delivering production‑ready code in well‑tested CI/CD pipelines.
  • Cloud Expertise: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS or Azure.
  • Software Engineering: Hands‑on experience with foundational software engineering practices.
  • Database Proficiency: Strong knowledge of SQL for querying and managing data.
  • Scalability: Experience scaling computations using GPUs or distributed computing systems.
  • ML Integration: Familiarity with exposing machine learning components through web services or wrappers (e.g. Flask in Python).
  • Soft Skills: Strong communication and presentation skills to effectively convey technical concepts.

Bonus Points If You Have

  • Scale‑up experience.
  • Cloud certifications (Google CDL, AWS Solution Architect etc.).

Whats in It for You

  • Holiday: 25 days plus bank holidays (obviously!)
  • Health Perks: Private health insurance (Vitality Health) and Smart Health Services

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
