AI is becoming vitally important in every function ofour society. At Scale, our mission is to accelerate the developmentof AI applications. For 8 years, Scale has been the leading AI datafoundry, helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI,including generative AI, defense applications, and autonomousvehicles. With our recent Series F round, we’re accelerating theusage of frontier data and models by building complex agents forenterprises around the world through our Scale Generative AIPlatform (SGP). The SGP ML team works on the front lines of this AIrevolution. We interface directly with clients to build cuttingedge products using the arsenal of proprietary research andresources developed at Scale. As an ML Engineer, you’ll work withclients to train ML models to satisfy their business needs. Yourwork will range from training next-generation AI cybersecurityfirewall LLMs to training foundation genomic models makingpredictions about life-saving drug proteins. Having a deepcuriosity about the hardest questions about LLMs will also motivatevarious research opportunities on how to apply ML to the forefrontof enterprise data. If you are excited about shaping the future ofthe modern AI movement, we would love to hear from you! You will: -Train state of the art models, developed both internally and fromthe community, in production to solve problems for our enterprisecustomers. - Work with product and research teams to identifyopportunities for ongoing and upcoming services. - Exploreapproaches that integrate human feedback and assisted evaluationinto existing product lines. - Create state of the art techniquesto integrate tool-calling into production-serving LLMs. - Workclosely with customers - some of the most sophisticated MLorganizations in the world - to quickly prototype and build newdeep learning models targeted at multi-modal content understandingproblems. Ideally you’d have: - At least 1-3 years of modeltraining, deployment and maintenance experience in a productionenvironment - Strong skills in NLP, LLMs and deep learning - Solidbackground in algorithms, data structures, and object-orientedprogramming - Experience working with a cloud technology stack (eg.AWS or GCP) and developing machine learning models in a cloudenvironment - Experience building products with LLMs includingknowing the ins and outs of evaluation, experimentation, anddesigning solutions to get the most of the models - PhD or Mastersin Computer Science or a related field Nice to haves: - Experiencein dealing with large scale AI problems, ideally in thegenerative-AI field - Demonstrated expertise in largevision-language models for diverse real-world applications, e.g.classification, detection, question-answering, etc. - Publishedresearch in areas of machine learning at major conferences(NeurIPS, ICML, EMNLP, CVPR, etc.) and/or journals - Stronghigh-level programming skills (e.g., Python), frameworks and toolssuch as DeepSpeed, Pytorch lightning, kubeflow, TensorFlow, etc. -Strong written and verbal communication skills to operate in across functional team environment #J-18808-Ljbffr

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
