Senior Machine Learning Engineer | Cambridge / Hybrid | £80,000–£120,000 + Bonus

Join a fast-growing FinTech/InsurTech company in Cambridge that is transforming how financial and insurance products are built using machine learning and data-driven decision-making.

Their platform leverages advanced ML models to power areas such as fraud detection, risk modelling, underwriting optimisation, and customer analytics, enabling smarter and faster decisions at scale.

With strong investment and a product-led engineering culture, they are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to play a key role in building and deploying production-grade ML systems.

The Role

* Design, build, and deploy machine learning models for fraud detection, risk scoring, and predictive analytics

* Develop scalable ML pipelines and work closely with data engineering teams

* Collaborate with product and domain experts to translate business problems into ML solutions

* Optimise model performance and ensure reliability in production environments

* Contribute to architecture and best practices across ML and MLOps

Key Skills & Experience

* 4+ years’ experience in machine learning or AI roles

* Strong Python skills, with experience in frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn

* Experience deploying ML models into production, including MLOps, CI/CD, Docker, and Kubernetes

* Solid understanding of statistics, data modelling, and software engineering principles

* Experience with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, or Azure

* Exposure to financial services or insurance domains is advantageous, but not essential

What’s in It for You?

* Work on high-impact ML systems solving real-world financial and risk challenges

* Join a collaborative, engineering-first environment with strong technical ownership

* Competitive salary of £80,000–£120,000, plus bonus

* Flexible hybrid working with a Cambridge-based office

* Clear progression and the opportunity to influence ML strategy

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.
