The Company

Our client is a leading security technology consultancy, pushing the boundaries of innovation to protect the UK from advanced cyber and technological threats. They work at the intersection of AI, engineering, and real-world impact, tackling some of the most pressing challenges in national security.


  • Be part of a specialist team working on high-impact machine learning projects
  • Solve real-world challenges with tangible results in national defense
  • Collaborate with world-class scientists and engineers in a flat, non-hierarchical structure
  • Enjoy a strong culture of openness, autonomy, and continuous learning
  • Work from modern offices just outside Cambridge with access to labs and prototyping tools


The Role

Our client is seeking a Machine Learning Consultant with experience in cutting-edge AI/ML to join their agile, multidisciplinary team. You’ll be responsible for designing and implementing novel ML solutions in resource-constrained or complex environments, across a range of unique and impactful projects.

  • Build end-to-end machine learning systems across diverse technical challenges
  • Research, design, and deploy models in novel or resource-constrained settings
  • Apply your knowledge to tasks such as computer vision, generative models, and edge ML
  • Work on both proof-of-concepts and client-ready demonstrators
  • Stretch your capabilities across the full ML development cycle, from ideation to deployment


Your Experience

We’re looking for an experienced ML professional who is passionate about innovation and has the ability to adapt across domains quickly. You’ll need strong fundamentals, technical depth, and a scientific mindset.

  • Strong academic background (2:1 or above) in STEM; postgraduate or R&D experience a bonus
  • Excellent Python skills and hands-on experience with frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX
  • Experience building ML models in unique settings (e.g., constrained hardware or novel data)
  • Familiarity with GPU processing (e.g., CUDA) and a range of ML techniques
  • Bonus if you’ve worked in a client-facing or consultancy setting


Next Steps

This Machine Learning Consultant role is generating a lot of interest and won’t be open for long, so don’t wait to get in touch or hit the apply button. If you’d like advice or more info before applying, feel free to reach out directly.
