At Fractile, we’re taking a revolutionary approach to computing to run the world’s largest language models 100x faster than existing systems. Our fast-growing team is working at the cutting edge of the latest AI developments in both hardware and software. Want to get involved?

We are looking for Senior ML Compiler Engineers with experience in machine learning compilation to work on the compiler stack for our ground-breaking AI accelerators. You can be based in ourBristol office or London, the choice is yours.

Why Fractile:We're building something that doesn't exist yet.

Fractile isn't another AI startup gluing together frameworks. We are designing a full-stack execution engine: hardware, compiler, runtime, to build the world's largest language models 100 x faster than today's systems. That ambition forces us to rethink everything from first principles.

For compiler engineers, this is a rare moment: the architecture is still being shaped. The IR, the lowering strategy, the optimisation passes, the execution model - you get to define its future.

In this role, you will:

  • Develop the machine learning compiler stack for Fractile’s innovative AI acceleration hardware
  • Enable industry-leading performance of the latest LLMs on Fractile’s accelerators
  • Work with hardware, driver runtime, and ML engineers in a highly collaborative hardware-software co-design methodology

It would be great if you have:

  • Proven experience of the development of machine learning compilers using industry standard technologies such as MLIR or TVM
  • Up-to-date knowledge of machine learning techniques and technologies
  • A good understanding of computer architecture and performance optimisation techniques
  • Excellent C/C++ skills and solid experience of industry standard development tools and technologies
  • An creative and innovative mindset, and a willingness to take ownership and drive results in a fast-paced environment
  • Computer Science, Electronic Engineering, Maths, Physics, or related degree and 3+ years of industry experience

You may also have:

  • Previous experience in a startup or small team environment

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.
