Machine Learning Engineering Manager

About the Role

At Deliveroo, we have an outstanding data science organization with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work across product, business, and platform teams using analysis, experimentation, causal inference, and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely positioned to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.

Machine Learning (ML) Engineers work in cross-functional teams of engineers, data scientists, and product managers to build algorithmic products that power the company. We are embedded in product teams, close to business problems, and tackle some of the hardest challenges. ML Engineers translate fuzzy business problems into concrete pipelines, design and implement them, deploy models to production, and collaborate with data scientists to run experiments.

ML Engineers at Deliveroo report to our Science management team. We have a strong, active data science community with guest lecturers, a robust technical review process, a career progression framework, and many learning opportunities. We offer career pathways for both managers and individual contributors. Our ML Engineers come from diverse disciplines but share a common excellence; many are formally trained in Machine Learning, many are not.

We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineering Manager to join our management team and lead our Search & Relevance team, which optimizes the customer experience through recommendation engines and search & ranking algorithms. The team includes ML Engineers of various seniorities, including mid-level, Senior, and Staff.

  • Bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill sets to form a cohesive team.
  • Be comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.
  • Adopt a pragmatic, flexible approach focused on achieving impact.
  • [Bonus] Have knowledge and experience with experimentation.

At Deliveroo, we prioritize our people’s welfare. Benefits vary by country but generally include healthcare, well-being programs, parental leave, pensions, and generous annual leave, including time for charitable causes. Please ask your recruiter for specific details.

Diversity

We believe a great workplace reflects the diversity of the world we live in. We welcome candidates regardless of gender, race, sexuality, religion, or personal preferences. All you need is a passion for food and a desire to be part of a fast-growing industry.

How to Write an AI CV that Beats ATS (UK examples)

Writing an AI CV for the UK market is about clarity, credibility, and alignment. Recruiters spend seconds scanning the top third of your CV, while Applicant Tracking Systems (ATS) check for relevant skills & recent impact.

You’ll get a clean CV anatomy, a phrase bank for measurable bullets, GitHub & portfolio tips, and three copy-ready UK examples (junior, mid, research). Paste the structure, replace the details, and tailor to each job ad.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.
