Key Responsibilities:

  • Design and develop scalable RAG pipelines and generative AI workflows
  • Build solutions using LangChain, LangGraph, and LlamaIndex
  • Implement retrieval strategies including reranking, chunking, and retrieval fusion
  • Develop agentic workflows with a focus on robustness and maintainability
  • Contribute to experimentation, evaluation, and AI quality frameworks
  • Support fine-tuning, instruction tuning, and model optimisation initiatives
  • Mentor junior engineers and contribute to technical best practices

Key Requirements:

  • Strong Python engineering experience
  • Commercial experience building production-grade AI/ML systems
  • Hands-on experience with RAG architectures and LLM workflows
  • Experience with LangChain, LangGraph, and/or Llama Index
  • Understanding of evaluation methodologies for generative AI
  • Experience working within scalable cloud environments (AWS preferred)
  • Ability to operate in a senior or technical leadership capacity

Desirable:

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.
