We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.

AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.

About the team


In our Professional and Financial Services Business unit, we bring everything we have learned in more than a decade of Applied AI, and use it to help our clients navigate a rapidly changing landscape.


We develop and embed AI solutions which help financial institutions become more efficient, enhance customer experience, and find the commercial upside in uncertain markets. Within the constraints of a highly regulated industry, we see so much opportunity for impactful innovation and are proud to set the gold-standard for marrying technical excellence with safe deployment.

About the role

As a Full Stack Software Engineer, you will collaborate with cross-functional teams to build and scale AI-powered systems that solve unique challenges for global clients.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of the entire stack, turning sophisticated machine learning outputs into high-impact, production-ready solutions that drive real-world transformation.

What you'll be doing:

  • Creating reliable, reusable, and scalable frontend and backend architectures to enable the seamless delivery of advanced AI systems.

  • Leading engineers within cross-functional teams—alongside Data Scientists and Product Managers—to deploy technically sophisticated, high-impact software.

  • Designing and architecting robust project frameworks that maintain a balance between rapid prototyping and long-term maintainability.

  • Acting as a technical authority for full-stack development within your delivery unit to ensure best practices are met.

  • Providing deep technical expertise to customers, helping them navigate complex requirements and architectural scoping.

Who we're looking for:

  • You bring extensive experience in TypeScript and modern frontend frameworks like React or Vue, paired with a strong eye for intuitive UI/UX design.

  • You possess solid backend development skills in Python or TypeScript frameworks (such as FastAPI, Flask, or Django) and are comfortable managing the full application lifecycle.

  • You are experienced in deploying software within cloud environments like AWS, Azure, or GCP, ideally using containerisation tools like Docker.

  • You demonstrate a scientific and pragmatic mindset, testing assumptions and balancing big-picture vision with the technical details required for execution.

  • You thrive in autonomous, fast-paced environments where you can take full ownership of problems and collaborate directly with clients to define technical strategy.

  • You are a compelling communicator who enjoys working in a team-oriented culture and has a relentless drive to learn and apply novel technologies.

Our Interview Process

  1. Talent Team Screen (30 minutes)

  2. Pair Programming Interview (90 minutes)

  3. System Design Interview (90 minutes)

  4. Commercial Interview (60 minutes)

Our Recruitment Ethos

We aim to grow the best team - not the most similar one. We know that diversity of individuals fosters diversity of thought, and that strengthens our principle of seeking truth. And we know from experience that diverse teams deliver better work, relevant to the world in which we live. We’re united by a deep intellectual curiosity and desire to use our abilities for measurable positive impact.

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

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three 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.
