The Client

One of the world's largest hedge funds, this is an excellent opportunity to join one of the most prestigious technology teams in systematic trading in a wide-ranging development role. With a flat-structured, 'no-attitude' working environment, this is a great time to join as engineering is undergoing significant investment.

The Role

Looking for a highly motivated and experienced engineer to join the Risk Data team, this role offers the opportunity to expand your current skillset creating state-of-the-art tools for a range of data-related activities, including onboarding, analysis, sourcing, quality checking, and lifecycle management.

You'll collaborate with Risk Officers as well as analysts, quants and engineers, delivering risk solutions for specific engine/strategy requirements or for the whole company. You'll also design and develop solutions to solve big data challenges (200 terabyte of data).

The majority of the company's systems run on Windows and most code is written in .NET (C#); their first data storage is in SQL Server, and they're starting to use ArcticDb for larger datasets. But they're also constantly evaluating new technologies, tools and libraries.

Requirements

  1. Expert programming experience (ideally in .NET)
  2. Understanding of the challenges of dealing with large datasets (structured and unstructured)
  3. Solid Windows platforms experience with various scripting languages, and exposure to Linux environments
  4. Knowledge of modern practices for ETL, data engineering and stream processing
  5. Degree with high mathematical and computing content - Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, Physics, etc. - from a top-tier university
  6. Working knowledge of one or more database technologies, e.g. SQL Server

Nice to have

  1. Prior experience of working with financial market data or alternative data
  2. Relevant mathematical knowledge e.g. statistics, time-series analysis
  3. Experience with Python, Kubernetes, S3 or Kafka

Benefits

  1. Competitive salary + generous bonuses
  2. Extra perks including a personal development allowance and sponsorship
  3. Central London office with a very smart, friendly tech team
  4. Flat-structured, transparent and collaborative environment, 'no-attitude' culture
  5. Regular social events, plus annual company trips and team offsites

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
