Salary: £200k base + £150 - £400k bonus // All experience levels
Client:
One of the world's top market makers is expanding their Machine Learning and related AI teams. Already a market-leader, in the past few years they have invested extensively in their data offerings and are ready to expand their ML and AI teams to stay ahead of the curve.
A cross-asset liquidity provider, they do a huge volume of trades daily and are working with massive data sets that require enormous computational power.
Role:
You'll be extracting signals from vast datasets of market data to gain beneficial insights. Your time could be split between alpha generation in a trading team and time in the core engineering team - working very collaboratively as a firm to maximise PnL for the collective. For example, if you're sat on an FX desk and find something useful, you'll share the knowledge with the Equities team. You'll be using ML to find ways to cut through the noise - how can you improve day-to-day performance with ML techniques? Is there AI assistance you can utilise to make everyone's life easier - from traders to operations, and ML tools for engineers?
Requirements:

  • Extensive ML experience
  • Strong programming skills in any OO language
  • Collaborative nature with excellent communication skills
  • Ability to balance pragmatism and great tech

Benefits:

  • Shape the firm and, to an extent, the industry's ML developments
  • Attend conferences
  • Excellent compensation package
  • Good work-life balance

Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.

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.
