Contract Machine Learning Engineer (LLM & GC)

6-Month Contract | Outside IR35 | £600 per day

We are seeking an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to support the design and build, production ready ML models on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on turning models into scalable, reliable, production systems that solve real business problems.

The contract will run for at least 6-months, will be Outside IR35 at £600 per day, and we are looking to start the project at the beginning of March. This role suits a delivery-focused ML Engineer who enjoys taking models from concept through to production, rather than staying purely in research or experimentation.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and productionise machine learning models using GCP-native services
  • Translate business problems into deployable ML solutions
  • Develop and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines (training, testing, deployment, monitoring)
  • Work with data scientists and engineers to operationalise models at scale
  • Implement best practices for model performance, versioning, and lifecycle management
  • Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and cost-efficient within GCP

Required Experience

  • Strong hands-on experience building and deploying ML models on Google Cloud Platform
  • Experience with services such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions / Cloud Run
  • Solid Python experience for ML and data engineering workloads
  • Experience productionising models (not just experimentation or notebooks)
  • Understanding of MLOps concepts: CI/CD, monitoring, retraining, and model governance
  • Ability to work independently in a contract environment and deliver at pace

Nice to Have

  • Experience with real-time or near-real-time ML use cases
  • Exposure to data pipelines and orchestration tools
  • Prior work in regulated or large-scale enterprise environments

Contract Details

Duration: 6 months

Rate: £500 per day

IR35: Outside IR35

Start: March 2026

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.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
