About the Role

We are seeking a highly skilled and experienced Staff AI Developer to lead the design, development, and deployment of production-grade AI systems. This is a hands-on and strategic role where you’ll work with advanced technologies like large language models (LLMs), agentic AI frameworks, graph neural networks (GNNs), and knowledge graphs to build intelligent, autonomous solutions that deliver real business value.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, pre-train, fine-tune, and evaluate domain-specific LLMs (e.g., GPT, LLaMA, Mistral)

  • Build and orchestrate multi-agent architectures using LangChain, LangGraph, CrewAI, or similar

  • Develop Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) pipelines and apply advanced prompt engineering

  • Implement secure, scalable inference services using REST/gRPC or event-driven APIs

  • Construct and maintain enterprise-scale knowledge graphs and search/recommendation pipelines

  • Develop and optimise GNN models for structured and semi-structured datasets

  • Drive MLOps best practices: CI/CD, model versioning, monitoring, automated retraining and rollback

  • Mentor engineers, conduct code reviews, and shape technical direction and research agendas

    Core Requirements

  • MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Mathematics, or equivalent industry experience

  • 5+ years of experience in ML/software engineering, with deep knowledge of Python

  • Strong hands-on experience with deep learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX)

  • Proven track record in pre-training or fine-tuning large-scale LLMs

  • Experience deploying AI agents and multi-agent systems in real-world environments

  • Knowledge of GNN libraries (e.g., PyTorch Geometric, DGL) and graph databases (e.g., Neo4j, Neptune)

  • Proficient in building pipelines using Spark, Flink, or Databricks and deploying on AWS, GCP, or Azure with Kubernetes/Terraform

Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Tools, Frameworks & Platforms to Learn Now

Machine learning is no longer confined to academic research—it's embedded in how UK companies detect fraud, recommend content, automate processes & forecast risk. But with model complexity rising and LLMs transforming workflows, employers are demanding new skills from machine learning professionals. Welcome to the Machine Learning Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your annual guide to the top languages, frameworks, platforms & tools shaping machine learning roles in the UK. Whether you're an aspiring ML engineer or a mid-career data scientist, this radar shows what to learn now to stay job-ready in 2026.

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

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

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.
