Job title: Machine Learning Engineer

Locations: Manchester or Haywards Heath (hybrid working)

Role overview

Markerstudy Group have an exciting opportunity for a machine learning engineer to fill out the automation, pipelining, DevOps, and modelling aspects of Markerstudy’s market-leading technical modelling and pricing team. You will productionise novel insurance modelling processes as an automated machine learning pipeline within a cloud-based environment.

Markerstudy is a leading provider of private insurance in the UK, insuring around 5% of the private cars on the UK roads, 20% of commercial vehicles and over 30% of motorcycles in total premium levels of circa £1b. Most of Markerstudy’s business is written as the insurance pricing provider behind household names such as Tesco, Sainsbury’s, O2, Halifax, AA, Saga and Lloyds Bank to list a few.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you will help build and maintain the pricing team’s MLOps and ML Lifecycle environment to support the creation of pipelines by automating the sophisticated machine learning models and processes that underpin our market-leading technical modelling and pricing function.

Key Responsibilities:

Build an MLOps / DevOps environment to support machine learning automation

Build the pipelines that automate the regular model update and monitoring processes

Build a framework that supports the creation, deployment, maintenance, and monitoring elements that non-data scientist and machine learning analysts produce, including assisting with hyper-parameter tuning, feature engineering, feature selection, and validation, reporting and visualisation, and communication processes.

Work closely with the data science team to integrate modelling approaches and techniques

Key Skills and Experience:

Previous experience as a DevOps / MLOps engineer

Experience in Azure ML or databricks, or similar industry approved technology stack (i.e. AWS, Kubernetes and Docker, Google Cloud)

Understanding of machine learning models and the modelling process, from data ingestion and cleaning to deployment and modelling – from the ground-up, not only through the use of packages and libraries

Proficient at communicating results in a concise manner both verbally and written

Previous industry experience in a STEM role or educated to the Master’s level in a STEM or DS / ML / AI or maths-based discipline.

Behaviours:

Collaborative and team player

Logical thinker with a professional and positive attitude

Passion to innovate and improve processes

Strong grasp of industry standards, and proficient in either Python, R, or both

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
