  • Develop and deploy new models to detect fraud while maintaining SLAs
  • Write new features in our production infrastructure
  • Research new techniques to disrupt fraudulent behaviour
  • Investigate model performance issues and debug models

Requirements

  • About 1 year of experience building and deploying ML models using Python data stack (numpy, pandas, sklearn)
  • Strong analytical skills
  • Strong collaboration with teammates across teams (client support, engineering, etc.)
  • Excellent communication of complex technical ideas to diverse audiences
  • Ability to prioritise and manage workload
  • Comfortable working in a hybrid team

Benefits

  • Flexible working hours & remote‑first environment
  • Comprehensive BUPA health insurance
  • £1,000 annual wellness and learning budget

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK.
