At Faculty, we transform organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI.


With more than a decade of experience, we provide over 350 global customers with software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.


Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.


Should you join us, you’ll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.


Bringing medicine to patients is complex, expensive and high‑risk. Faculty’s Life Science team is concentrated on building AI solutions which optimise the research and commercialisation of life‑changing therapies.


We partner with major pharma firms, academic research centres and MedTech start‑ups to design and deliver solutions which address critical healthcare challenges, and help to democratise health for all.


About the role

Join us as a Machine Learning Engineer to deliver bespoke, impactful AI solutions for our diverse clients.


You will be instrumental in bringing machine learning out of the lab and into the real world, contributing to scalable software architecture and defining best practices. Working with clients, and cross‑functional teams, you’ll ensure technical feasibility and timely delivery of high‑quality, production‑grade ML systems.


What you’ll be doing:

  • Building and deploying production‑grade ML software, tools, and infrastructure.
  • Creating reusable, scalable solutions that accelerate the delivery of ML systems.
  • Collaborating with engineers, data scientists, and commercial leads to solve critical client challenges.
  • Leading technical scoping and architectural decisions to ensure project feasibility and impact.
  • Defining and implementing Faculty’s standards for deploying machine learning at scale.
  • Acting as a technical advisor to customers and partners, translating complex ML concepts for stakeholders.

Who we’re looking for:

  • You understand the full machine learning lifecycle and have experience operationalising models built with frameworks like Scikit‑learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch.
  • You possess strong Python skills and solid experience in software engineering best practices.
  • You bring hands‑on experience with cloud platforms and infrastructure (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including architecture and security.
  • You’ve worked with container and orchestration tools such as Docker & Kubernetes to build and manage applications at scale.
  • You are comfortable with core ML concepts, including probability, statistics, and common learning techniques.
  • You’re an excellent communicator, able to guide technical teams and confidently advise non‑technical stakeholders.
  • You thrive in a fast‑paced environment, and enjoy the autonomy to own scope, solve and delivery solutions.

What we can offer you:

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.


Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals. Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something new from everyone you meet.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.
