Our client, a leading global trading firm, is seeking a talented Data Production Engineer to join their highly collaborative Data team. Data is central to their success, powering one of the world's largest and most advanced automated trading operations.

This role offers the unique opportunity to work directly with live trading teams, automate processes, explore vast datasets, and engage with key external stakeholders such as data vendors, brokers, and exchanges. You'll play a hands-on role in acquiring, validating, and preparing data that feeds cutting-edge quantitative research and real-time trading strategies.

Key Responsibilities

Data Engineering: Develop tools to onboard, classify, and reconcile data. Automate workflows using a modern Python data stack.

Data Analysis: Clean, validate, and enrich datasets; conduct in-depth reconciliations and support researchers in data exploration and feature creation.

Data Debugging: Trace anomalies to their source through a combination of technical analysis, problem-solving, and stakeholder communication.

Production Support: Monitor data pipelines, resolve issues quickly, and provide reliable support to internal users across trading and research.

About You

You're detail-oriented, curious, and thrive on solving complex data challenges.

Comfortable operating in a fast-paced, production environment.

You collaborate well with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Requirements

2+ years in a data engineering or data science role, or a relevant degree in a related field.

Strong Python skills are a must; familiarity with modern data tools and libraries.

Proficient in at least one SQL dialect (PostgreSQL, MySQL, MSSQL).

Comfortable using the Linux command line for file manipulation, automation, and system monitoring.

Experience with financial datasets (e.g. Refinitiv, S&P, Bloomberg) and ETL pipeline management is highly desirable.

Prior exposure to supporting systems in a production trading environment is a strong advantage.

Why Apply?

You'll join a high-impact team at the core of a global trading powerhouse, surrounded by smart, driven colleagues in an environment that prizes collaboration, innovation, and technical excellence. The culture is open, inclusive, and values ideas from all corners of the organisation.

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.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
