Our Solutions Architecture team is a diverse group of technologists from various backgrounds. We work closely with AWS customers in the Travel and Hospitality industry to understand their unique needs and challenges. Our Solutions Architects leverage their expertise to offer valuable insights and provide tailored guidance on how to best utilize AWS technology to create business value and drive innovation in the industry.

As part of this team, you will blend business acumen with technical guidance to effectively engage with organizations at all stages of cloud adoption, helping them reinvent their businesses using AWS technology and guiding them on their cloud journey.

In this role, you will get to practice your creativity, linking technology to tangible solutions and educating AWS customers about the art of the possible.

You will create and share best practices at scale, including through the creation of technical content and reference architectures, for a variety of use cases, e.g., Artificial Intelligence & Machine Learning, Serverless and Container-based architectures, Analytics and Big Data, DevOps, and Security.

You will have the support to grow your expertise in industry and technology areas in depth.

Practical knowledge of the AWS platform is desired but not required, provided you have a sound technical foundation and a desire to learn.

Why AWS?
Amazon Web Services (AWS) is the world’s most comprehensive and broadly adopted cloud platform. We pioneered cloud computing and never stopped innovating — that’s why customers from the most successful startups to Global 500 companies trust our robust suite of products and services to power their businesses.

A day in the life
A typical day might start by preparing for a customer meeting, reviewing their current business goals and how technology could help achieve them. During the meeting, you'll listen to the customer's challenges, ask probing questions, bringing a point of view rich with industry context and value, offering strategic advice on possible solutions. After lunch, you could find yourself diving deep into your customer's technical architecture, collaborating with internal teams to design a custom solution. Later, you might lead a workshop to educate customers on new AWS features or write a blog post sharing best practices. Throughout the day, you'll balance relationship-building with technical work, continually learning to keep up to date with evolving technologies.

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.
