Deep Learning Engineer


About the Company

Join a fast-growing AI-driven technology company that’s modernising prediction and decision systems for complex, real-world industries. The organisation builds powerful AI platforms that help partners, particularly in travel and transportation - automate commercial decisions, optimise revenue and personalise customer experiences through deep learning-based forecasting and analytics.


With an emphasis on bridging legacy infrastructure with cutting-edge data science, the company’s solutions provide real-time insights, dynamic pricing, and revenue optimising recommendations across large, intricate datasets. Nearly hundreds of global partners rely on this platform to make confident automated decisions informed by advanced forecasting and deep neural networks.


Here your work won’t sit in a research silo, your models will directly influence sophisticated, live operational systems. The environment values intellectual curiosity, scientific rigour, and practical impact, offering opportunities to publish and present on advancements that truly matter.


Role Overview


We’re seeking a Deep Learning Engineer with an exceptional research pedigree, proven expertise in neural networks, and substantial industry experience with time series analysis and forecasting. You’ll empower product teams to push the frontier of AI-driven decision intelligence by developing models that power real-time forecasting, optimisation, and predictive insights on complex temporal data.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and deploy advanced deep learning architectures for time series forecasting, decision intelligence, and sequential prediction.
  • Translate research innovations into robust, production-quality systems that operate at scale and influence commercial outcomes.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams, from ML engineers to product leaders to integrate models into forecasting and optimisation pipelines.
  • Conduct rigorous benchmarking and experimentation, applying best practices from academic research to real-world data challenges.
  • Drive publications and presentations in top venues, representing both theoretical innovation and applied breakthroughs.


What You Bring

Essential:

  • Extensive research background in deep learning - demonstrated through publications in top-tier journals and conferences (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, JMLR, etc.).
  • Strong experience with neural network models applied to time series, dynamic forecasting, and complex sequential tasks.
  • Industry experience implementing and refining forecasting systems in production.
  • Proficiency in modern ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX.
  • A track record of applying research results to real-world, high-impact problems.

Highly Valued:

  • Experience with real-time prediction systems, probabilistic forecasting, and uncertainty quantification.
  • Hands-on expertise with cloud infrastructure and ML-oriented deployment workflows.
  • Demonstrated ability to collaborate across research, engineering, and product teams.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.
