We are looking for an ML Engineer to work within a growing technology company developing advanced machine learning systems to enable large-scale, computation-driven workflows in a highly complex technical domain. The organisation focuses on translating cutting-edge research into production-grade platforms that support real-world decision-making and experimentation at scale.


As a Machine Learning Engineer focused on scaling, your mission is to build, optimise, and productionise machine learning systems, ensuring models can be trained, deployed, and operated reliably across demanding environments.


This Will Offer You

  • Ownership of core machine learning systems used in real-world production settings
  • The opportunity to work at the intersection of ML infrastructure, model development, and system design
  • Close collaboration with research and product engineering teams
  • Exposure to large-scale training, inference, and distributed compute challenges
  • High autonomy in a technically ambitious, fast-moving environment
  • Competitive compensation and long-term growth opportunities


Your Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain scalable training and inference pipelines for modern ML models
  • Optimise model performance, latency, and throughput across environments
  • Design modular, reusable ML components for internal platforms and tooling
  • Translate research prototypes and notebooks into production-ready systems
  • Own and improve ML infrastructure components, including data pipelines, distributed compute, and experiment tracking
  • Collaborate closely with cross-functional teams to support end-to-end ML workflows


You Will Bring

  • MSc or PhD in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Applied Mathematics, or a related field
  • Strong Python skills and hands-on experience with frameworks such as PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
  • Experience building and scaling ML pipelines in real-world environments
  • Familiarity with MLOps tools and practices (e.g. experiment tracking, orchestration, containerisation)
  • Experience with modern ML architectures (e.g. Transformers, diffusion-style models, sequence models)
  • High ownership mindset, fast iteration speed, and comfort operating in ambiguous, early-stage settings


Nice to have:

  • Contributions to open-source ML tooling
  • Experience with distributed training, model optimisation, or large-scale serving
  • Exposure to post-training scaling or large inference workloads
  • Experience integrating ML systems into user-facing products or APIs

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.
