  • Clearly document and present your work internally and externally, adjusting technical depth based on the audience.
  • Participate in technical discussions, design reviews, and customer-facing activities when required.

Requirements

  • B.Sc., M.Sc., or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Electrical Engineering, or a related technical field.
  • 2–5 years of professional experience in applied machine learning or engineering roles.
  • Strong expertise in Machine Learning and Deep Learning, with exposure to Reinforcement Learning as a plus.
  • Proficiency in Python and modern ML libraries (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, JAX, or Keras).
  • Experience with version control systems (GitHub, GitLab) and knowledge of clean, maintainable coding practices.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines for automating ML workflows.
  • Ability to thrive in a fast-paced, collaborative, and dynamic environment.

Nice to have

  • Prior experience with PCB design, EDA tools, or related optimization problems.
  • Hands-on experience in high-performance computing environments (e.g., Kubernetes, Ray, Dask).
  • Contributions to open-source projects, publications, or top placements in ML competitions (e.g., Kaggle).
  • Expertise in related fields such as Computer Vision, Representation Learning, or Simulation Environments.

Our commitment to our people

We empower individuals to celebrate their uniqueness here at InstaDeep. Our team comes from all walks of life, and we’re proud to continue encouraging and supporting applicants from underrepresented groups across the globe. Our commitment to creating an authentic environment comes from our ability to learn and grow from our diversity, and how better to experience this than by joining our team?

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.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Machine Learning Jobs Hub

Machine learning (ML) is becoming essential to industries across the globe—from finance and healthcare to retail, logistics, defence, and the public sector.
