Overview

Remote (UK)
Competitive salary + benefits

This is a great opportunity to join a young, fast-growing business and to develop really innovative technology in an environment geared towards getting the best of out your engineering skills. You are free to work remotely, or visit their Edinburgh City Centre offices. Real flexibility over how, and where, you do your thing is a key pillar of their culture.

If you have real hands-on experience with fixed income products and enjoy working close to the data, this is a genuinely rare opportunity.

The Role

You’ll be involved in:

  • Designing and building data pipelines for complex fixed income instruments
  • Ingesting, normalising, validating, and exposing market and reference data
  • Working closely with domain experts to encode real-world fixed income logic
  • Handling time-series, temporal, and event-driven financial datasets
  • Indexing and querying large volumes of structured and unstructured data
  • Contributing domain knowledge across products such as:
    • Sovereign and sub-sovereign debt
    • Corporate bonds and credit instruments
    • Municipals and structured cashflows

This role suits someone who understands that bond data is fundamentally different from equities — and enjoys that challenge.

Technical Environment

The engineering culture is pragmatic, modern, and data-focused.

You’ll work with:

  • Backend systems written in functional or functional-leaning languages
    (e.g. Elixir, Scala, F#, Haskell, Clojure, or similar)
  • Relational databases and advanced SQL for complex financial datasets
  • Infrastructure designed for simplicity, reliability, and performance
  • Machine learning and LLM-adjacent workflows for document-heavy data

Exact tools matter less than strong engineering fundamentals and curiosity.

What They’re Looking For
  • Proven experience working with fixed income products and markets
  • Strong understanding of bonds, pricing, yields, curves, and cashflows
  • Experience building or maintaining data-heavy platforms
  • Confidence working with messy, real-world financial data
  • Ability to collaborate closely with analysts, product, and engineering peers

This is not a generic data role. Domain expertise in fixed income is essential.

If this excites you, apply now for immediate consideration!

Bright Purpleis an equal opportunities employer. We are proud to work with clients who value diversity, inclusion, and fairness across the technology industry.

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

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. 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.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
