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!

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant or laid off can feel like the rug has been pulled from under you. Whether part of a wider company restructuring, budget cuts, or market shifts in tech, many skilled professionals in the AI industry have recently found themselves unexpectedly jobless. But while redundancy brings immediate financial and emotional stress, it can also be a powerful catalyst for career growth. In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, where new roles and specialisms emerge constantly, bouncing back stronger is not only possible—it’s likely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.
