About the Role

Rebellion is a leading independent game publisher and creator of film, books, and graphic novels. We are seeking a skilled and innovative Machine Learning Engineer to join our cutting‑edge ML Team. The role is mid‑level and ideal for someone ready to take ownership of projects, mentor junior engineers, and deliver impactful solutions that shape the future of our game products.


Key Responsibilities

  • Implement and optimise ML algorithms and tools for game‑level generation and enhancement.
  • Collaborate with cross‑disciplinary teams (art, design, code) to integrate ML models into real‑time game workflows.
  • Conduct and direct experiments to improve accuracy, performance, and scalability of ML/DL models.
  • Manage and maintain ML systems, libraries, and pipelines, ensuring robust deployment into production.
  • Analyse diverse datasets to inform model architecture and feature engineering.
  • Stay current with state‑of‑the‑art ML/DL research and evaluate new technologies for practical application.
  • Mentor and guide junior ML engineers, sharing best practices and reviewing their work.
  • Present technical findings, progress, and recommendations to stakeholders and leadership.

Requirements

  • MSc in Computer Science, Mathematics, or a similar technical discipline; advanced certifications are a bonus.
  • Proficiency in Python and C++ with a proven track record of delivering robust, scalable ML systems.
  • Professional experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or similar role, with expertise in machine learning algorithms and statistical methods.
  • Hands‑on experience with supervised, unsupervised, semi‑supervised, and reinforcement learning; 3D ML/DL exposure is highly desirable.
  • Strong understanding of data structures, software architecture, and data modelling, with experience handling diverse datasets (tabular, computer vision, point cloud, game data).
  • Proficient with ML frameworks (NumPy, OpenCV, scikit‑learn, PyTorch/PyTorch3D, TensorFlow, Keras).
  • Experience with CI/CD pipelines, version control (GitLab, Perforce), cloud platforms (preferably AWS) and scalable deployment workflows.
  • Outstanding problem‑solving and analytical capabilities, coupled with the ability to work autonomously and collaborate effectively with other disciplines.

Benefits

  • 22 days of holiday + Christmas closure (typically 4 days) & bank holidays (increasing with service at 5 years—one day each year until you reach 31 days).

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
