Octaive is an equal opportunities employer. We actively welcome applications from people with diverse backgrounds and do not discriminate against employees or applicants because of their race, colour, religion, sex, national origin, age, disability, or genetic information.


Hey. We're Octaive.


We're an award winning Creative Technology business helping Advertisers look past outdated ‘click' metrics and start creating real ‘Attention'.

Why?
Typical ads don't respect the user and they don't give brands the full picture. Fact. We change that.


How?We empower consumers to control the ad themselves, meaning they get a truly relevant experience without encroaching on their personal data. Simple. But effective.


Leading brands such as VW, PayPal and Vodafone use our technology to create privacy-first, conversational experiences that drive active attention. After all, there's no point saying something if no-one's listening.


Octaive's platform is well established, with major agencies using it to give brands conversational display and video creative that makes an impact.


Simply put, we deliver great digital experiences – and we've been recognised for it. We recently nabbed a place in the TechRound-100 and the prestigious Startups 100.


It's an exciting time to be part of an innovative, forward-thinking startup…but that's enough about us.

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.
