This is a fantastic opportunity to join Luminance, the pioneer of Legal-Grade™ AI for enterprise. Backed by internationally renowned VCs and named in both the Forbes AI 50 list of ‘Most Promising Private AI Companies in the World’ and Inc. 5000’s ‘Fastest Growing Companies in America’, Luminance is disrupting the legal profession around the globe.

We are seeking a skilled and forward-thinking engineer to join our Infrastructure Team in a devops and platform engineering role. The ideal candidate will have a strong background in building cloud-native infrastructure with a focus on automation, scalability, and security, and a deep understanding of Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC). You will help design and evolve Luminance’s AWS platform—modernising our deployment patterns, automating environment creation, and ensuring our systems are reliable, repeatable, and resilient.

Responsibilities

  • Design, build and maintain scalable cloud infrastructure using AWS services such as EC2, EKS, RDS/Aurora, ElastiCache, OpenSearch, and CloudFront.
  • Drive and support the development and adoption of Kubernetes on EKS for management of both production and internal workloads.
  • Architect and implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) pipelines – integrating Terraform (or similar) into CI/CD workflows for environment provisioning, validation, and automated testing.
  • Drive zero-downtime deployment patterns (blue/green, rolling, canary) and implement automated rollback and recovery.
  • Drive continuous improvement in the infrastructure space, through initiatives to remove single points of failure and improve autoscaling, high availability and managed service adoption across the platform.
  • Collaborate with SRE, Security and Engineering teams to enhance observability, monitoring and alerting through tools like Prometheus, Grafana and CloudWatch.
  • Partner with Security to embed best practices for IAM, secrets management, WAF, and posture management.
  • Optimise performance and cloud spend through automation tools and cost visibility dashboards
  • Participate in on-call rotations, post-incident reviews, and ongoing improvements to operational reliability.

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.
