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).
  • Private medical insurance, healthcare cash plan, including dental and vision.
  • Life assurance, income protection & critical illness cover.
  • Enhanced family leave.
  • Interest‑free, tax‑free loans.
  • Enhanced pension scheme.
  • EAP: a range of mental health and wellbeing support.
  • Additional benefits include discounts, freebies, and social events.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

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.
