  • Professional with a Bachelor's degree or higher in a STEM field (Computer Science, Engineering, Mathematics, Physics, or related technical discipline)
  • Strong coder with proficiency in Python and SQL who is comfortable working in a cloud environment
  • Individual with experience in MLOps practices (model deployment, monitoring, versioning) and data preprocessing techniques for handling noisy or incomplete data
  • Applicants must have the legal right to work in the UK or Norway, as applicable to the role location.


Desirable:

  • Previous experience working with real-time data / IoT data / distributed fibre optic sensing data
  • Previous acoustic data processing experience
  • Direct experience with elements of our technology stack (Azure Cloud, DBT, Apache Iceberg, Dask, Pytorch, Dagster)
  • Experience solving industrial problems (predictive maintenance, control systems, etc)


What the job involves

  • As one of our first technical hires, you will have complete ownership of all our machine learning processes
  • Successful candidates will need to collaborate closely with our customers to deeply understand the impact and effectiveness of our predictions and continuously improve our product with this information
  • You’ll need to provide thought leadership throughout all phases of the data lifecycle, from data exploration and visualization to reporting, automation and continuous model improvement
  • We work with complex, multi-dimensional datasets and successful candidates will need to continuously innovate and problem solve to extract maximum value from this data
  • Your work will directly impact how water utilities detect and prevent pipeline leaks, creating tangible environmental and societal benefits
  • Successful candidates will directly impact the future of the company and sharing in its success


Salary range

£70,000 - £120,000 base salary

This position will also include equity. This is a best faith estimate of the base salary range for this position. Multiple factors including experience, education, level, and location are considered when determining this.


Company benefits & perks

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
