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

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.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.
