The Core Technology team combines engineering, data science, and trading expertise to create solutions that drive investment performance, making this a unique opportunity for developers who understand the intricacies of financial systems and real-time applications.

Your mission:

  • Build, enhance, and maintain the core components of the trading system, from exchange connectivity to monitoring systems.

  • Design new features and collaborate with internal users to continuously improve the proprietary platform.

  • Participate in on-call rotations to support a 24/7 trading environment, handling troubleshooting as issues arise.

  • Support projects beyond the core trading system, contributing to data pipelines, operational tooling, and post-trade systems as needed.

    What you bring:

  • Mandatory: A background in asset management, fintech, or hedge funds.

  • UK Citizenship (this role requires UK-based applicants with full rights to work).

  • A degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, or similar.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
