Machine Learning Engineer (NLP) II

Remote | UK | Full Time

The ML Engineer (Natural Language Processing) II is a mid-level position responsible for Natural Language models-based product development and maintenance. As a mid-level engineer in this role, you will work closely with senior engineers and non-technical business stake holders, contributing to the entire lifecycle of building and maintaining emerging LLM/NLP-based ML products. An important aspect of this role would be product design and execution bearing cost efficiency and speed. The ideal candidate would have skills in software programming, ML, agentic workflows, mathematics, and DevOps. Good communication skills with an ability to demystify ML algorithms and capabilities is a must, as stakeholders in ML products include software engineering teams as well as non-technical business partners.

What You'll Do

Curation, cleaning, and maintenance of datasets for NLP/LLM models. Develop, optimise, and deploy NLP/LLM models. Work with agentic frameworks like LangChain, CrewAI, or AutoGen to develop multi[1]step agents or workflows Work with Product stakeholders to capture and establish requirements for natural language models-based products. Collaborate with Product Managers, software engineering teams, and other departments to design NLP products for inference. Steer consolidation of dataset requirements, acquiring data, annotation, management, and version control for NLP applications. Monitor ML models in production, setting metrics to identify drift, and establish corrective measures for restoring model performance. Identify and implement appropriate tools for monitoring product performance in inference. Ownership of technical documentation related to datasets, model selection, training experiments, and production infrastructure. Continual learning and self-improvement with a focus on latest trends, techniques, and best practices in Machine Learning.

Who You Are

Bachelor's degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field. 3+ years of experience in Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field. Proficient in Python and working knowledge of ML libraries PyTorch and scikit-learn. You’ve built and deployed at least one LLM-based or NLP-heavy product in a real setting likely using agentic frameworks like LangGraph, LangChain, AutoGen etc. Strong mathematical, analytical, and problem-solving skills. Experience with retrieval systems, embeddings, and vector DBs like Weaviate or Pinecone. Good understanding of Machine Learning algorithms and models (Language processing models such as GPT, BERT, etc). Experience in designing ML products for inference in cloud. Ability to structure and execute an ML project from start to completion, for both training and inference. Excellent communication and teamwork skills; ability to work in a team. Experience with cloud computing platforms like AWS, Google Cloud, or Azure. Familiarity with containerization and orchestration tools like Docker and Kubernetes. Experience with version control systems like Git.

Nice to have.

Masters in a specific field such as Statistics, Data Science, Machine Learning, or AI. Utilization of Generative AI models. Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases including construction of queries, query optimization, and schema design. API development using standard tools such as FastAPI or Flask

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.
