Amazon Ads is seeking a full-stack Software Development Engineer to join the Reach Extension team in Edinburgh, Scotland. The team builds innovative advertising products that help advertisers reach and engage millions of Amazon customers across every stage of their journey. We’re looking for engineers with an interest in front-end development using React and TypeScript, as well as those passionate about building highly scalable backend services with Kotlin and AWS, leveraging advanced technologies such as generative AI and machine learning.

This role offers end-to-end ownership, spanning technical design, implementation, and operational support, along with direct impact on customer advertising success. You’ll be involved throughout the full product lifecycle—from idea generation to delivery and ongoing support—while meeting high standards for performance, accuracy, and reliability at 24x7, global scale. While the work is technically challenging, the greatest impact comes from building intuitive products through iteration, collaboration, and teamwork. You’ll both learn from and contribute to an exceptional, diverse team of world-class engineers from around the globe.

Key job responsibilities
* Deliver; design, build, test, and operationally support product features writing both client- and server-side code in React, TypeScript, Kotlin and Elasticsearch, using AWS services.
* Customer obsession; develop an understanding of our advertising customers, from marketing managers to marketing directors and brand owners. Advocate what we should prioritise to help deliver value.
* Collaborate; work with specialists from a range of disciplines including UX designers, product managers, programme managers, and engineers from a range of partner teams.
* Iterate; find better ways to deliver, improve our testing practices, revise our architecture as needs change or better ways are found.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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 Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three 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.
