Machine Learning Engineer (NLP) II

Remote | UK | Full Time

The ML Engineer (Natural Language Processing) II is a mid-level position responsible for Natural Language models-based product development and maintenance. As a mid-level engineer in this role, you will work closely with senior engineers and non-technical business stake holders, contributing to the entire lifecycle of building and maintaining emerging LLM/NLP-based ML products. An important aspect of this role would be product design and execution bearing cost efficiency and speed. The ideal candidate would have skills in software programming, ML, agentic workflows, mathematics, and DevOps. Good communication skills with an ability to demystify ML algorithms and capabilities is a must, as stakeholders in ML products include software engineering teams as well as non-technical business partners.

What You'll Do

Curation, cleaning, and maintenance of datasets for NLP/LLM models. Develop, optimise, and deploy NLP/LLM models. Work with agentic frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, or AutoGen to develop multi[1]step agents or workflows Work with Product stakeholders to capture and establish requirements for natural language models-based products. Collaborate with Product Managers, software engineering teams, and other departments to design NLP products for inference. Steer consolidation of dataset requirements, acquiring data, annotation, management, and version control for NLP applications. Monitor ML models in production, setting metrics to identify drift, and establish corrective measures for restoring model performance. Identify and implement appropriate tools for monitoring product performance in inference. Ownership of technical documentation related to datasets, model selection, training experiments, and production infrastructure. Continual learning and self-improvement with a focus on latest trends, techniques, and best practices in Machine Learning.

Who You Are

Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field. Proficient in Python and working knowledge of ML libraries PyTorch and scikit-learn. You’ve built and deployed at least one LLM-based or NLP-heavy product in a real setting likely using agentic frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, AutoGen etc. Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Experience with retrieval systems, embeddings, and vector DBs like Weaviate or Pinecone. Good understanding of Machine Learning algorithms and models (Language processing models such as GPT, BERT, etc). Experience in designing ML products for inference in cloud. Ability to structure and execute an ML project from start to completion, for both training and inference. Excellent communication and teamwork skills; ability to work in a team. Experience with cloud computing platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with version control systems like Git.

Nice to have.

Masters in a specific field such as Statistics, Data Science, Machine Learning, or AI. Utilization of Generative AI models. Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases including construction of queries, query optimization, and schema design. API development using standard tools such as FastAPI or Flask

What Is an AI Forward Deployed Engineer? The Fastest-Growing Job in AI for 2026

If you have been watching AI job boards over the past year, one title keeps surfacing again and again: the forward deployed engineer, or FDE. It has gone from a niche term known mainly to Palantir alumni to arguably the hottest role in the entire AI hiring market. Job postings for forward deployed engineers have exploded, salaries have climbed past levels most software engineers will ever see, and the biggest names in AI — OpenAI, Anthropic, Google, Salesforce, Databricks and Palantir — are all competing for the same small pool of talent. So what exactly is an AI forward deployed engineer, why has demand surged so dramatically, and how do you position yourself to land one of these roles? This guide breaks it all down for AI engineers, software engineers and data scientists looking at their next move.
