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)

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.
