About the Role

We are working with a leading quantitative technology firm that’s working at the cross roads of machine learning research and high-performance trading. You’ll join a highly skilled Research Engineering team, in a fast-moving, high-volume environment.


This role is all about taking cutting-edge ML research projects and moving them into production — building robust pipelines that allow models to trade with reliability and speed. You’ll be hands-on with code (around 80% of your time), collaborating closely with ML scientists, and owning solutions from ingestion to deployment.


Key Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with ML scientists to ingest and process large-scale, high-frequency market data.
  • Build and maintain pipelines for training, backtesting, and deploying ML models into a live trading environment.
  • Ensure production systems are reliable, scalable, and optimised for ultra-low latency trading.
  • Take ownership of end-to-end solutions, from research to execution.


What We’re Looking For

  • 5+ years’ experience in high-level engineering roles.
  • Proven track record building ML research pipelines in complex technical environments.
  • Experience in Python (and ideally C++) plus Kubernetes, Ray, PyTorch, Terraform, and cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
  • Strong mathematical or statistical background.
  • Background in AI-driven industries such as AI drug discovery, AdTech, ML health-tech, research labs, or high-end finance.
  • Independent, self-driven engineers who can own delivery without hand-holding.


Interview Process

  1. Intro call with hiring manager and recruiter.
  2. Take-home technical test.
  3. Technical interview discussing your solution.
  4. Onsite with their Amsterdam team.

The Future of Artificial Intelligence Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has already transformed the global job market. From data scientists and machine learning engineers to AI ethicists and prompt engineers, many roles that seemed futuristic only a decade ago are now mainstream. Yet this is only the beginning. AI is progressing faster than any other technology in history, and the UK is at the forefront of its adoption, with government strategies, academic research, and private investment all accelerating growth. As generative AI, autonomous systems, robotics, and cognitive computing expand, completely new careers will emerge—jobs that don’t yet exist, but which will soon become central to how organisations, societies, and economies function. This article explores what those roles might look like, why they will matter, and how today’s professionals can prepare for careers that are still being invented.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for AI Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The artificial intelligence sector has transformed from a niche technology field into one of the UK's most dynamic employment markets. With AI roles ranging from machine learning engineers to data scientists and AI product managers commanding average salaries between £45,000 and £120,000, timing your job search strategically can significantly impact your success rate. Understanding when companies typically hire for AI positions—and why these patterns exist—can give you a competitive edge in landing your dream role. Unlike traditional industries with predictable seasonal fluctuations, the AI job market follows distinct patterns driven by corporate budgets, educational cycles, and technological project timelines. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal months to apply for AI jobs in the UK, helping you align your career moves with industry hiring peaks.
