Overview

Senior ML Engineer, Data & Machine Learning role at Linktree. We’re looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and applied ML. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building real products — not just models — and want to take machine learning systems all the way from data to production. You’ll own the full lifecycle of ML-powered applications: designing data pipelines, building training workflows, integrating models into services, and deploying production-ready features that power delightful user experiences.


You’ll help us test new ideas quickly, by working in lean, build-measure-learn cycles. You’ll develop rapid prototypes, test them on real users, and iterate based on learnings and user feedback.


No hands-on AI/ML experience, no problem! Do you excel at solving end-to-end software problems but don’t have hands-on experience with AI/ML? If you have a computer science, statistics or other relevant STEM background, we’d love for you to learn the ML part on the job. You’ll work in London, with 3 days per week from our office and 2 days per week from home.


Responsibilities

  • You’ll implement, test, and scale a wide variety of ML and AI capabilities, leveraging both established tools and emerging technologies.
  • You’ll own the end-to-end development cycle of ML-powered features, including assessing impact through experimentation.
  • You’ll collaborate with cross-functional teams to integrate ML solutions into our products.
  • You’ll monitor, evaluate, and improve the performance of models and ML-powered features in production.
  • You’ll stay up-to-date with the latest developments in ML and AI to ensure we’re always operating at the cutting-edge.

Qualifications

  • Strong software engineering background with experience in building and maintaining production systems.
  • Hands-on experience with ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) and MLOps tools (e.g., Airflow, MLflow, Vertex AI, or similar).
  • Solid understanding of data engineering practices, including ETL, batch/streaming pipelines, and data quality monitoring.
  • Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization.
  • Experience with shortening build-measure-learn cycles via prototyping and experimentation to iterate quickly and build software users love.

Compensation

The base salary offered for this role is targeted at $80,000-$110,000 GBP for roles based in United Kingdom. Final offers depend on multiple factors including location, experience, expertise, and role scope, and may vary from the range listed.


Location & How We Work

London, England, United Kingdom — hybrid: 3 days per week in the office, 2 days remote. We’re a global, diverse team with offices in London, Los Angeles, Melbourne, and San Francisco. We offer autonomy in how you structure your days and weeks and support async collaboration where possible.


Benefits

  • An annual wellbeing allowance to use on things like fitness memberships, development courses, childcare, travel, charitable donations, etc.
  • Employer contribution towards retirement.
  • Generous time off for vacation, holidays, parental leave, volunteer time, and other categories.
  • Employee stock option program to share in the company’s success.

Work inclusivity

Linktree is an equal opportunity workplace committed to inclusion. We welcome all people regardless of sex, gender identity, race, ethnicity, disability, pregnancy, age, or other lived experience. If you require accommodations to participate fully, please contact .

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.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next AI Jobs Hub

Artificial Intelligence (AI) has rapidly moved from research labs into boardrooms, classrooms, hospitals, and homes. It is already reshaping economies and transforming industries at a scale comparable to the industrial revolution or the rise of the internet. Around the world, countries are competing fiercely to lead in AI innovation and reap its economic, social, and strategic benefits. The United Kingdom is uniquely positioned in this race. With a rich heritage in computing, world-class universities, forward-thinking government policy, and a growing ecosystem of startups and enterprises, the UK has many of the elements needed to become the world’s next AI hub. Yet competition is intense, particularly from the United States and China. Success will depend on how effectively the UK can scale its strengths, close its gaps, and seize opportunities in the years ahead. This article explores why the UK could be the world’s next global hub for artificial intelligence, what challenges it must overcome, and what this means for businesses, researchers, and job seekers.
