A major quant strategy hedge fund are looking to make a unique hire into its expanding London based trade support team.


The role has a core tech / development focus – this is to run what is a heavily analytical hands-on approach to typical trade support responsibilities (as opposed to manual processing) + to constantly run a large volume of automation / process improvement projects, but to also regularly work on ad-hoc projects for the tech, quant and investment teams. Whilst not a pre-requisite day one, the hire will go on to learn Python/SQL/VBA/R to a strong standard (and some Matlab, C++ & C#).


This is a perfect role for a current operations / middle office / trade support analyst, at an IB, hedge fund or prop firm, who has strong technical skills but that is struggling to use them and/or improve on them in practice. The role can lead to a managerial position in the team as it builds out, or moves directly into a tech, quant, or front office team (+ there is also the potential to move overseas to the firm’s HQ or a developing office elsewhere).


Candidates should have 2-6yrs relevant line operations/trade support experience, a strong STEM focused academic background and some form of advanced coding skills (preference for python).


The role has a £70-90k base salary band to allow for a strong step up for anybody in the target experience range. A top performer can achieve a 50% bonus year one, however there are variables either side of this pending individual and company performance (+the opportunity for much bugger upside in years 2/3+ etc.).

Machine Learning Job Interview Warm‑Up: 30 Real Coding & System‑Design Questions

Machine learning is fuelling innovation across every industry, from healthcare to retail to financial services. As organisations look to harness large datasets and predictive algorithms to gain competitive advantages, the demand for skilled ML professionals continues to soar. Whether you’re aiming for a machine learning engineer role or a research scientist position, strong interview performance can open doors to dynamic projects and fulfilling careers. However, machine learning interviews differ from standard software engineering ones. Beyond coding proficiency, you’ll be tested on algorithms, mathematics, data manipulation, and applied problem-solving skills. Employers also expect you to discuss how to deploy models in production and maintain them effectively—touching on MLOps or advanced system design for scaling model inferences. In this guide, we’ve compiled 30 real coding & system‑design questions you might face in a machine learning job interview. From linear regression to distributed training strategies, these questions aim to test your depth of knowledge and practical know‑how. And if you’re ready to find your next ML opportunity in the UK, head to www.machinelearningjobs.co.uk—a prime location for the latest machine learning vacancies. Let’s dive in and gear up for success in your forthcoming interviews.

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence. Let’s dive in.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.
