Machine Learning Performance EngineerSummary:

Exciting opportunity to work at a tech-centric prop trading fund which trades a wide range of financial products, with offices across the globe. Looking for an experienced engineer with low-level systems programming and optimization expertise to join their growing ML team.

Machine learning is front and centre at this firm, and your focus will be to optimize the performance of their models: both training and inference. They're interested in efficient large-scale training, low-latency inference in real-time systems, and high-throughput inference in research. Partly this will involve improving straightforward CUDA, but they also need a whole-systems approach, including storage systems, networking, and host- and GPU-level considerations.

The successful candidate will be a smart, curious software engineer who enjoys finding solutions forplex problems. If you also have a great appetite for learning new things, this role is for you!

Requirements:

An understanding of modern ML techniques and toolsets, with a strong focus on performance The systems knowledge & experience required to debug a training run's performance end to end Low-level GPU andpute cluster knowledge, CUDA or other types of GPU programming, PTX, SASS, warps, cooperative groups, Tensor Cores, & the memory hierarchy Debugging/optimization tooling experience, CUDA GDB, NSight Systems, NSightpute, etc. Library knowledge of Triton, CUTLASS, CUB, Thrust, cuDNN, and cuBLAS


Benefits:
Market-leading salaries Generous benefits package, including physical & mental health benefits, excellent holiday entitlement, significant parental leave, retirement benefits, private on-site gym Focus on learning & development with tuition reimbursement Recreation spaces with breakfast, lunch, snacks and treats

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.

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.

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.
