Key Responsibilities
Lead the design and architecture of AI Agent solutions, ensuring they align to integration specifications.
Build, refine, and test prompt engineering methods for large language models.
Develop and validate API integrations to embed agents into live workflows.
Deploy containerised applications into Azure (or another major cloud).
Define and run testing and evaluation frameworks to measure agent performance.
Mentor and support a junior Data Scientist, ensuring high standards of delivery.
Collaborate with architects, engineers, and business teams to embed solutions effectively.
Produce clear reporting on outcomes and outline recommendations for scaling.Required Experience
Advanced proficiency in Python for AI/ML development.
Hands-on experience with LLMs, including prompt engineering and applied use cases.
Track record of designing, deploying, and testing AI Agents in production environments.
Strong understanding of cloud deployments (Azure preferred, others considered).

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.

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.
