What we’re all about.

Do you ever have the urge to do things better than the last time? We do. And it’s this urge that drives us every day. Our environment of discovery and innovation means we’re able to create deep and valuable relationships with our clients to create real change for them and their industries. It’s what got us here – and it’s what will make our future. At Quantexa, you’ll experience autonomy and support in equal measures allowing you to form a career that matches your ambitions. 41% of our colleagues come from an ethnic or religious minority background. We speak over 20 languages across our 47 nationalities, creating a sense of belonging for all.

Opportunity

You’ll join our Research and Development department, working closely with our Engineering teams on our core Contextual Decision Intelligence product, the Quantexa Platform. The team focuses on building and improving solutions through thoughtful engineering practices, ensuring the Platform is delivered to a high standard in a sustainable and collaborative way.

Our products process, analyse and present large volumes of data, helping organisations identify unusual and potentially suspicious activity. The user interface supports detailed investigations into fraud and financial crime and helps users explore and understand complex networks.

The R&D department is based across London, Ireland and Malaga, and includes over 100 people working in agile teams made up of Engineers, Designers, QA specialists and others, each contributing to specific areas of the Platform.

Tech Stack

On the back end, our services are primarily written in Scala and deployed as microservices. We value functional and strongly typed programming and make use of libraries such as Cats and Shapeless. We use Akka and Monix to help build scalable and reliable distributed services, and apply patterns such as event sourcing and CQRS in our persistence layer.

The front end is built using modern tools and frameworks including TypeScript, Angular (6+) and ngrx. It has been designed to be extensible and configurable, enabling customisation for different needs.

We also use AI tooling across our software development lifecycle, combining external services such as Claude and Vertex with internally developed tools to support engineering teams and others across Quantexa.

In this role, you will:

  • Work in partnership with multiple Engineering teams, supporting the delivery of new components and features for the Quantexa Platform, while maintaining a strong focus on quality
  • Support, mentor and develop Engineers at all levels, contributing to recruitment, onboarding, learning and progression opportunities across the department
  • Be based in the UK, with occasional travel to our European offices when helpful
  • Bring sufficient technical experience to contribute to architectural and technical discussions and help teams consider the broader context of their decisions
  • Encourage the thoughtful use of AI to support engineering effectiveness and product development, helping teams adopt tools and practices throughout the software development lifecycle
  • Collaborate with Product Managers and Team Leads to plan upcoming work, supporting teams through Agile ways of working
  • Partner with Product Management to understand market needs and align them with Engineering capabilities to create achievable and clear roadmaps
  • Coordinate release activities across Engineering teams and communicate progress to stakeholders to support predictable and well‑paced delivery
  • Help teams manage dependencies, identifying risks or blockers early and supporting their resolution
  • Identify opportunities to improve processes, ways of working and collaboration across the department, with a focus on quality, sustainability and scale
  • Work with stakeholders outside the department to understand and respond to their needs in a considered and transparent way
  • Support the day‑to‑day operational activities of the department

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.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.
