Research and modeling:
Researching, developing, and implementing the most innovative machine learning techniques to Stats Perform’s wealth of sports data (both structured and unstructured)
Productizing artificial intelligence based solutions alongside engineers and product teams
Providing technical guidance to product teams on the artificial intelligence (machine learning and computer vision) approaches appropriate for a task
Patenting the innovative solutions
Lifecycle and collaboration with our teams:
Machine Learning lifecycle: data prep, training data generation, feature engineering, optimization, experimentation, reproducibility, deployment, and end-to-end workflow management
Partners and stakeholders: identify data acquisition opportunities, create requirements, transform large volume data into AI ready high quality relevant datasets
Accelerate the velocity from idea to interference into production
Achieve quality ML data using a triad of people, process & technology
Conduit between Product and Data Engineering to bring new models into production in a quick and efficient way
Support, train and mentor team members on best ML implementation practices
Enabling our products
ML and Deep Learning capabilities at vast scale by developing the necessary systems, tools, technologies and integrations as part of the ML Platform offering
Our team members typically have:
Experience
At least 1year of relevant industry experience in software engineering or machine learning and data science
Hands on experience with building enterprise grade machine learning and data platforms
Familiarity with common machine learning algorithms (random forest, XGBoost, etc.)
Preferred knowledge of advanced ML techniques (neural networks/deep learning, reinforcement learning, active learning, data augmentation and GANs etc.)
Experience with high-level programming languages such as Python and preferred knowledge of big data tools
In-depth working knowledge of cloud infrastructure such as AWS or Google Cloud
Proficiency in, at least, one modern deep learning engine such as Tensorflow, PyTorch etc. (preferred: knowledge of using GPUs)
Experience in integrating with internal and external complex systems that are able to scale and demonstrate security, reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency
Experience in projects involving large scale multi-dimensional datastore, complex business infrastructure, and cross-functional teams, and track-record of successfully launched ML projects in production
Passion for creating new technologies with high product impact within sport.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
