Machine Learning Engineer, London (5 days a month), £90,000 - £110,000 per annum


My client, a leading regulatory intelligence company are currently looking to bring on an ML Engineer on a permanent basis. This is a key hire for the business and will look to move quickly for the right candidate.


They are based in Central London and you will be required in their London office 5 days per month.


As ML Engineer, your mission is to:

  • Participate in the continuous improvement of our client's products
  • Develop advanced NLP and AI-based products that will delight users
  • Provide excellence in cloud-based ML engineering, with as much focus on Operations as Development.
  • Expand of the Team’s knowledge via demonstration and documentation


Key Responsibilities

As a machine learning engineer, your main responsibility is to conduct the development and productionisation of ML and NLP-based features for the client's products - a SaaS Platform and an API.

  • Develop optimal ML & NLP solutions for use cases, from baseline to SOTA approaches, wherever appropriate.
  • Produce high quality, modular code, and deploy following our established DevOps CI/CD and best practices.
  • Improve the efficiency, performance, and scalability of ML & NLP models (this includes data quality, ingestion, loading, cleaning, and processing).
  • Stay up-to-date with ML & NLP research, and experiment with new models and techniques.
  • Perform code-reviews for your colleague’s code. Engage with them to raise standards of Software engineering.
  • Propose cloud architectures for ML-based products that need new infrastructure.
  • Participate in the monitoring and continuous improvement of existing ML systems.


Core requirements

Experience matters. But what is more important than raw number of years of experience is demonstrated proficiency (through GitHub profiles/online portfolios and the interview process itself). Bonus points for Stack Overflow and Kaggle contributions!


What we are looking for

  • Experience analysing large volumes of textual data (almost all of our use cases will involve NLP) 🔠
  • Ability to write clear, robust, and testable code, especially in Python 🐍
  • Familiarity with SQL and NoSQL/graph databases 🏦
  • Extensive experience with ML & DL platforms, frameworks, and libraries 📚
  • Extensive experience with end-to-end model design and deployment within cloud environments ☁️
  • A systems thinking approach 🌐, with passion for MLOps best practises 🌀
  • An engineer that can think in O(n) as much as plan the orchestration of their product.
  • Solid understanding of data structures, data modelling, and software architecture, especially cloud-based. 🏛️
  • An engineer that can keep up with mathematically and statistically-oriented colleagues 🔢
  • A healthy sense of humour.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

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.
