To succeed as a Java Scala Developer in our team, I need you to have experience in Scala and Java programming. Proficiency in testing and mocking frameworks such as JUnit, Mockito, and PowerMocks is essential. You should also be familiar with development tools like IntelliJ IDEA, Maven, TeamCity, Jira, GIT, and JUnit. Basic SQL skills are required. Additionally, having skills in AWS, Spark, and Big Data would be highly valued.

In this role, I expect you to design, develop, and improve software using various engineering methodologies to deliver business, platform, and technology capabilities for our customers and colleagues. You will be responsible for the development and delivery of high-quality software solutions using industry-aligned programming languages, frameworks, and tools, ensuring that the code is scalable, maintainable, and optimized for performance. You will collaborate cross-functionally with product managers, designers, and other engineers to define software requirements, devise solution strategies, and ensure seamless integration with business objectives. Participation in code reviews, promoting a culture of code quality, and knowledge sharing within the team is essential. Staying updated on industry technology trends and actively contributing to technology communities within the organization to foster technical excellence is also crucial. I expect you to adhere to secure coding practices, implement effective unit testing, and ensure that your work aligns with the rules, regulations, and codes of conduct established in our organization.

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.

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.
