Job Title: Machine Learning Engineer

Location: Hybrid (2-3 days per week in the office)

Contract Type: Outside IR35, 3 months initially

About the Role:

We are looking for a highly skilled ML Engineer to join our R&D team, working on cutting-edge projects involving Natural Language Processing (NLP), Large Language Models (LLM), Computer Vision, Voice Synthesis, and more. This role is ideally suited for a candidate who is SC Cleared or eligible for SC clearance.

As an ML Engineer, you will engage in exploratory work, focusing on building out prototypes and developing solutions to novel challenges. You'll be at the forefront of innovation, often working with ambiguous data quality and client preferences to identify and implement the best model solutions.

Key Responsibilities:

  • Work on challenging ML problems for customers, including R&D activities and the implementation of early-stage research, even on customer hardware.
  • Perform extensive experimentation throughout the project lifecycle, from data collection to defining and developing model architectures.
  • Contribute to meeting project and product deliverables, ensuring they are completed on schedule and within budget.

The Tech You'll Be Using:

  • You'll work with state-of-the-art machine learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow to develop and deploy models.
  • You'll use Redis and SQL databases and have working knowledge of AWS services to manage data storage and processing.
  • You'll use GitHub for version control, Docker and Kubernetes for deployment and integration, and Jira for collaboration.
  • You'll have the opportunity to deploy models on edge devices, particularly the Nvidia Jetson family (e.g., TX2, Orin), and specialised hardware like the Deepwave AIR-T.
  • You'll work with MLOps pipelines, particularly using ClearML, and monitoring tools such as Grafana to ensure smooth operations and performance tracking across environments.

Experience Required:

  • Proven experience as an ML Engineer, particularly in R&D or exploratory environments.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with a creative, experimental approach.
  • Ability to work independently and handle uncertainty in data quality and technology preferences.
  • Experience working on complex projects involving NLP, LLM, Computer Vision, and similar cutting-edge technologies.
  • Eligibility for SC Clearance (Essential) or existing SC Clearance preferred.

Why Apply?

  • Work on groundbreaking ML projects, including NLP, LLM, Computer Vision, and Voice Synthesis.
  • Be part of a dynamic R&D team where innovation and experimentation are encouraged.
  • Contribute to high-impact projects that push the boundaries of current ML technologies.
  • Benefit from a hybrid working model with flexibility and collaboration opportunities.

We want to hear from you if you're excited by the challenge of working with cutting-edge technology in an exploratory R&D environment!

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

n the ever-evolving world of technology, the competition for top talent in artificial intelligence (AI) is intense—and the rewards are significant. By 2025, AI roles in machine learning, natural language processing, data science, and robotics are expected to be among the highest-paid professions within the UK technology sector. As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.

ElevenLabs AI Jobs in 2025: Your Complete UK Guide to Crafting Human‑Level Voice Technology

"Make any voice sound infinitely human." That tagline catapulted ElevenLabs from hack‑day prototype to unicorn‑status voice‑AI platform in under three years. The London‑ and New York‑based start‑up’s text‑to‑speech, dubbing and voice‑cloning APIs now serve publishers, film studios, ed‑tech giants and accessibility apps across 45 languages. After an $80 m Series B round in January 2024—which pushed valuation above $1 bn—ElevenLabs is scaling fast, doubling revenue every quarter and hiring aggressively. If you’re an ML engineer who dreams in spectrograms, an audio‑DSP wizard or a product storyteller who can translate jargon into creative workflows, this guide explains how to land an ElevenLabs AI job in 2025.
