Machine Learning Engineer - £110k – £130k – Geospatial Tech 4 Good

Data Engineer

Machine Learning Engineer

Fuzzy Labs are a Manchester based startup that helps our clients productionise machine learning through Open Source MLOps. We exist to help harness and channel the power of AI more quickly, to make positive change and use AI for good.

We are growing our team of engineers to help deliver an increasing number of client projects. You won’t need an existing MLOps background to apply for this role. You’ll learn as you go by immersing yourself in this exciting new field.

What we’re looking for

We’ve seen considerable growth over the past few years and this will continue as we build on our reputation as Open Source MLOps experts, while working with the community, and delivering solutions to our clients. The ideal candidate would be motivated to grow and progress in line with the company’s ambitions.

As well as being a great engineer, motivated by the chance to be at the forefront of MLOps adoption, you’ll also enjoy being part of a culture that values:

  • Loving what we do: a real passion for Open Source, MLOps and taking pride in great work.
  • Just trying it: MLOps is an exciting new field. We love to develop new skills, solve new problems and thrive on a challenge.
  • Being greater than the sum of parts: we are a team, one that isn’t just us but our customers and our community.
  • Positive impact: AI is going to change the world. We choose to use it for good and leave a positive legacy.

A typical day

You’ll work within an engineering squad and take part in every stage of the project delivery lifecycle, including:

  • Working directly with clients to understand their needs and recommend appropriate solutions.
  • Implementing features to a high standard of engineering, which includes good documentation and automated testing.
  • Participating in sprint planning sessions, retrospectives and code reviews.
  • Ensuring our high engineering standards are maintained and our clients are delighted.
  • Staying up-to-date with a fast-moving industry, embracing new tools and frameworks.

As well as client work, we also set aside time to work on R&D projects and produce content in the form of blogs and videos. These projects are how we keep on top of a fast-moving technology landscape, in addition to being our greatest source of marketing. You’ll have the opportunity to craft your own voice in the MLOps community through R&D content.

Skills and Experience

Our team is made up of a mix of backgrounds. We are looking for smart, curious people who are always expanding their knowledge, and exploring new and emerging technologies. If you get excited about keeping up with the newest large language models, or figuring out how to scale generative models in the cloud, then you’ll fit right in.

  • Able to commute to our central Manchester office 3 days per week.
  • A degree in computer science, mathematics, or a science related subject.
  • A passion for coding, data science, and open source technologies.
  • Ability to write and review production-grade Python.
  • Experience with cloud computing, for example AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, along with modern DevOps practices and infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Fluency in our core software tooling: Git, Unix/Linux, Docker. Plus, a strong opinion on your IDE / editor of choice is welcome ;)
  • Familiarity with modern machine learning tools, for instance TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch or SKLearn. Commercial experience with these is not essential.
  • Excellent communication skills; both in customer-facing and internal team communication.
  • Knowledge of MLOps is not essential, but some awareness of this emerging space is good to have.

Due to the sensitive nature of some projects, you will be expected to undergo UK government security clearance after you start (at SC level - see this link for more information). This will include a credit check and criminal records check.

By joining a small company you’ll have the chance to make a real impact on its future. There’s plenty of room for growth and we’ll work with you to help you realise your technical and personal ambitions because your success and the company’s success are one and the same.

  • 25 days holiday rising to 30 with service.
  • Equity option scheme, giving you a genuine stake in the business.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme.

Location

We run an organised hybrid scheme. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday we work in the office, and use these days for the type of activities where being present in person brings benefits; for example sprint planning, project scheduling, retrospectives, social lunches and one to ones.

Interested?

If you’d like to work with us, send us a CV to the email address below, and include a few words about yourself, and what interests you about the role and Fuzzy Labs. We love to see your passion for technology, so please include any links to your Github, Kaggle, tech blog, and cool side-projects, if you have them.

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.
