A fast-scaling, venture-backed SaaS company is building an innovative AI platform aimed at revolutionising a multi-trillion-dollar global industry. With backing from leading venture capital firms in Japan and the US, the business has recently exited stealth mode and is entering a significant phase of product expansion and commercial growth.

We are now seeking an experiencedAI Engineer specialising in Computer Visionto join a high-calibre engineering team. This is a unique opportunity to work on cutting-edge models, take ownership of end-to-end development, and contribute to the design of intelligent, scalable systems powering real-world innovation.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Design, build, and optimise production-level AI models usingCNNs,Transformers, andgenerative techniques(e.g., diffusion models, GANs).
  • Develop and deployreal-time and batch computer vision pipelinesto support use cases such as object detection, document analysis, and synthetic data generation.
  • Experiment with, fine-tune, and operationaliseopen-source models(e.g., LLaMA, Mistral, Stable Diffusion).
  • Collaborate with cross-functional product and engineering teams to integrate AI solutions into core platform features.
  • Drive innovation by staying abreast of the latest trends inmachine learning, LLMs, and generative AI.
  • Ensure responsible AI practices, including transparency, fairness, and scalability in production environments.
  • Optimise models for performance, cost, and deployment efficiency on modern compute infrastructure (GPU/CPU).


Ideal Candidate Profile:

  • 3+ years of experience insoftware development and machine learning engineeringin a fast-paced, technical environment.
  • Proven experience deploying AI models in production (not just research) across real-world use cases.
  • Advanced proficiency inPythonand deep learning frameworks such asPyTorch,TensorFlow, orKeras.
  • Strong expertise incomputer vision,generative models, andlarge-scale ML pipelines.
  • Familiarity withLLMs,diffusion models, fine-tuning, and techniques likeLoRA.
  • Experience curating and utilisingsynthetic datafor training and evaluation.
  • Infrastructure knowledge includingAWS,Kubernetes, andTerraform/OpenTofu.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to work independently and collaboratively within cross-functional teams.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.

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.
