We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.

Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.

AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.

About the team

Bringing medicine to patients is complex, expensive and high-risk. Faculty’s Life Science’s team is concentrated on building AI solutions which optimise the research and commercialisation of life-changing therapies.

We partner with major pharma firms, academic research centres and MedTech start-ups to design and deliver solutions which address critical healthcare challenges, and help to democratise health for all.

About the role

We're looking for a Senior Cloud Engineer to build the backbone of applied artificial intelligence for our customers. You will design, build, and deploy robust, secure, and scalable cloud infrastructure that powers cutting-edge data and machine learning workflows.

  • Enabling Machine Learning Engineers and Data Scientists by contributing to internal best practices, standards, and reusable code repos.

  • Proactively identifying and recommending new ways customers can leverage cloud infrastructure to solve their key challenges.

  • Creating and maintaining reusable, company-wide libraries and infrastructure-as-code.

  • Researching and integrating the best open-source technologies to enhance Faculty's infrastructure capabilities.

Who we're looking for:

  • You are pragmatic and outcome-focused, balancing the big picture with the details to execute complex projects in the real world.

  • You think scientifically, always testing assumptions, seeking evidence, and looking for opportunities to improve how things are done.

  • You have a drive to learn, constantly exploring new technologies and novel applications for existing tools.

  • You possess deep experience with both Azure and AWS as well as Infrastructure as Code, especially Terraform.

  • You are experienced in building and deploying containerized solutions using Docker and Kubernetes, supported by strong CI/CD and GitOps practices.

  • You possess proficient knowledge of Networking and Cloud Security

  • You excel at working directly with clients and stakeholders, confidently handling requirements gathering, technical planning, and scoping.

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.
