StackAdapt is a self-serve advertising platform that specializes in multi-channel solutions including native, display, video, connected TV, audio, in-game, and digital out-of-home ads. We empower hundreds of digitally-focused companies to deliver outcomes and exceptional campaign performance every day. StackAdapt was founded with a vision to be more than an advertising platform; it’s a hub of innovation, imagination, and creativity.

We're looking to add Senior and Staff Machine Learning Engineers to our Data Science team! This team works on solving complex problems for StackAdapt's digital advertising platform. You'll be working directly with our Data Scientists, Machine Learning engineers, Engineering teams, and our CTO/Co-Founder on building pipelines and ad optimization models. With databases that process millions of requests per second, there's no shortage of data and problems to tackle.

StackAdapt is a Remote First company, and we are open to candidates located anywhere in the UK for this position.

What you'll be doing:

  • Design modular and scalable real-time data pipelines to handle huge datasets
  • Suggest, implement, and coordinate architectural improvements for big data ML pipelines
  • Understand and implement custom ML algorithms in a low latency environment
  • Work on microservice architectures that run training, inference, and monitoring on thousands of ML models concurrently

What you'll bring to the table:

  • Have the ability to take an ambiguously defined task and break it down into actionable steps
  • Ability to follow through complex projects to completion, both by independent implementation and by coordinating others
  • Have a deep understanding of algorithm and software design, concurrency, and data structures
  • Experience in implementing probabilistic or machine learning algorithms
  • Experience in designing scalable distributed systems
  • A high GPA from a well-respected Computer Science program or equivalent experience in a competitive, innovative tech company
  • Enjoy working in a friendly, collaborative environment with others

StackAdapters enjoy:

  • Competitive salary
  • Private Medical Insurance cover
  • Auto-enrolment into the company pension scheme
  • Work from home reimbursements
  • Coverage and support of personal development initiatives (conferences, courses, etc)
  • An awesome parental leave policy
  • A friendly, welcoming, and supportive culture
  • Our social and team events (virtually!)
  • Take part in our walk and wander policy and work anywhere in the world for up to 90 days a year

If this role speaks to you then please apply - we'd love to speak with you. Due to a high volume of interest, only those shortlisted for interview will be contacted.

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.
