What we’re all about.

Do you ever have the urge to do things better than the last time? We do. And it’s this urge that drives us every day. Our environment of discovery and innovation means we’re able to create deep and valuable relationships with our clients to create real change for them and their industries. It’s what got us here – and it’s what will make our future. At Quantexa, you’ll experience autonomy and support in equal measures allowing you to form a career that matches your ambitions. 41% of our colleagues come from an ethnic or religious minority background. We speak over 20 languages across our 47 nationalities, creating a sense of belonging for all.

Opportunity

You’ll be joining one of our DevOps teams in our R&D department working on the Quantexa Cloud Platform and accompanying solutions, including platforms supporting data‑intensive and AI‑driven workloads. The platform is comprised of a landscape of low‑maintenance, on‑demand, and highly secure environments that host our software for customers and partners. These environments also support a wide range of internal use cases, underpinning the work of our R&D teams.

As aSenior DevOps Engineer, you will:

  • Contribute to the evolution and improvement of our cloud‑based platform, with a strong focus on availability, resilience, performance and security.
  • Take ownership of significant technical problems and initiatives, driving them through to delivery with a high degree of autonomy.
  • Enhance our automation practices, helping reduce operational toil and improve the consistency and reliability of our platform, including the use of modern tooling and AI‑assisted approaches where appropriate.
  • Collaborate closely with software engineering teams to strengthen our CI/CD pipelines and optimise build, test and deployment workflows, with an eye on improving overall developer productivity.
  • Support the development of cloud‑based product capabilities that customers can integrate into their own DevOps processes.
  • Contribute to technical discussions, provide guidance on best practices, and help shape engineering standards within the team.
  • Offer informal mentoring and knowledge‑sharing to engineers, supporting the growth of the wider DevOps community.

This role focuses on deep hands‑on technical expertise and the ability to lead complex workstreams, while stopping short of the architectural ownership and broader technical leadership responsibilities of a Lead Engineer.

Our Stack Includes:

  • Kubernetes, Docker, Istio
  • GitOps / DevOps tooling: ArgoCD, Jenkins, GitHub Actions
  • Scripting & Automation: Bash, Python, Groovy, Golang
  • IaC & Infrastructure Management: Terraform, Ansible, Packer, CasC
  • Provisioning Frameworks: Elasticsearch, Spark, Hadoop, Airflow, PostgreSQL, etc.
  • Observability: Fluentd, Prometheus, Grafana, Alertmanager
  • Public Cloud: Primarily GCP and Azure, with some AWS

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.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

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.
