OVERVIEW


The Machine Learning Engineer – Generative AI & NLP Specialist to design, develop, and implement cutting-edge AI-driven systems. This role will focus on enhancing translation systems using advanced NLP techniques and Generative AI (GenAI). The ideal candidate will have extensive experience in end-to-end machine learning (ML) lifecycles, large language models (LLMs), and the ability to create scalable, secure, and efficient AI solutions.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design and optimize translation systems leveraging advanced NLP and Generative AI (GenAI) techniques.- Focus on delivering contextually accurate, multilingual solutions with domain-specific customizations to meet diverse client needs.- Continuously improve performance using metrics like BLEU scores and human evaluation benchmarks.- Take ownership of the entire machine learning pipeline, from prototyping and concept validation to scalable production deployment.- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to align solutions with business objectives and ensure seamless integration.- Implement monitoring frameworks to track model performance, detect anomalies, and ensure reliability in production.- Automate pipelines for model retraining and fine-tuning to address data drift and maintain accuracy.- Deploy highly scalable inference endpoints that handle concurrent requests efficiently while maintaining low latency.- Ensure compliance with security standards, including encryption, access control, and API authentication.- Develop well-documented APIs to enable seamless integration of GenAI capabilities into applications and external systems.- Support API versioning and updates to meet evolving requirements.- Work with vector and graph databases to enable efficient Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG) systems.- Optimize data retrieval processes and evaluate RAG metrics, such as precision and relevance, to ensure high-quality results.
REQUIREMENTS
- Deep understanding of the full ML lifecycle, including development, training, deployment, and maintenance.- Proficiency in tools like Weights & Biases (W&B) or MLflow to track and manage experiments.- Strong Python programming skills, with expertise in ML libraries such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, PyTorch, TensorFlow, NumPy, SciPy, pandas, and scikit-learn.- Experience designing APIs with industry best practices.- Strong knowledge of large language models, including open-source and commercial implementations, and their practical applications.- Basic experience in building or deploying AI agents for specialized tasks.- Hands-on experience with vector and graph databases, including understanding metrics for evaluating RAG systems.- Proficiency in cloud platforms, preferably Google Cloud Platform (GCP).- Familiarity with Docker and containerization technologies.- Proven ability to ensure that GenAI deployments are scalable, secure, and efficient.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

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.
