Machine Learning Engineer (Computer Vision)

Location: Surrey or Bristol (hybrid/remote options considered)

Type: Permanent (full-time)

Team: AI / Computer Vision

Visa: Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

About the Company

We're a UK-based technology business building AI-led vision systems that turn image and video streams into automated, real-time insight. Our products are used in operational environments where speed, reliability, and accurate detection matter-helping teams monitor large areas and respond quickly when something changes.

The Role

We're looking for a Machine Learning / Computer Vision Engineer to help tackle challenging real-world problems using modern deep learning. You'll work closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop, productionise, and deploy computer vision models that run reliably across cloud and edge environments.

What You'll Be Doing

Build, test, and improve production-grade deep learning models for computer vision tasks (classification, detection, segmentation, tracking)

Optimise and deploy CV/ML pipelines to cloud and edge platforms

Design, curate, and manage image/video datasets for training and evaluation

Develop and maintain annotation workflows and tooling

Create synthetic data pipelines (including generative approaches) to augment real-world datasets

Stay current with emerging tools, methods, and best practices in CV/ML

What We're Looking For

Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics (or similar), or equivalent commercial experience

Proven experience delivering deep learning solutions for core CV tasks (classification / detection / segmentation / tracking)

Strong skills with PyTorch (or similar) and CV libraries such as OpenCV / scikit-image

Strong, production-ready Python engineering (version control, testing, code reviews)

Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving ability

Clear communicator who works well in a collaborative team

Nice to Have

Experience with real-world sensor data (e.g., RGB-D, thermal, radar)

Model optimisation/deployment tooling (ONNX, TensorRT)

Edge deployment experience (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson or other resource-constrained devices)

Familiarity with MLOps tooling (e.g., DVC, MLflow)

Relevant open-source contributions in computer vision

Interested?

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.
