Company:


My client is on a mission to combat misinformation and plagiarism in the publishing industry, using cutting-edge technology around Large Language Models (LLMs). They specialise in quickly assessing the validity of research, allowing for faster turnaround times for their clients. As a result of their rapid growth, they are now looking to expand their team with a Machine Learning Engineer.


Role:


As an ML Engineer, you will focus on the productionisation of AI models, working with LLMs to enhance the speed and accuracy of research validation. This is a fully remote, UK-based role within a growing 20-person company that values innovation and pushing the boundaries of AI. You will be part of a collaborative, fast-paced team with a ‘fail fast, learn fast’ mentality, where experimentation and learning from challenges are encouraged.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Take machine learning models from development to production, ensuring they are scalable, reliable, and efficient.
  • Fine-tune and optimize Large Language Models using frameworks like Hugging Face and LangChain to meet specific business needs.
  • Contribute to the development of new machine learning models and algorithms to improve the accuracy and speed of research validation.
  • Work closely with engineers and data scientists to ensure smooth deployment of AI models and continuously improve processes.
  • Contribute to a 'fail fast, learn fast' culture, experimenting with new approaches and technologies to drive AI innovation forward.

Key requirements:

  • Strong proficiency in Python and experience in coding and optimising machine learning models.
  • Hands-on experience with LLMs (Hugging Face, LangChain) and deep learning frameworks like PyTorch and TensorFlow.
  • Experience in model development and the productionisation of AI solutions.
  • Familiarity with techniques for fine-tuning and adapting pre-trained models for specific tasks.
  • Strong problem-solving skills, with the ability to quickly iterate and improve on existing models and workflows.
  • A proactive mindset, comfortable working in a fast-paced, remote team.


Benefits:

  • Fully remote in the UK, with the flexibility to work abroad for 30 days a year
  • Equity opportunities
  • 30 days paid holiday
  • Enhanced parental leave

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.

Machine‑Learning Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

The Model Needs More Than Math When ChatGPT went viral and London start‑ups raised seed rounds around “foundation models,” many professionals asked, “Do I need to learn PyTorch to work in machine learning?” The answer is no. According to the Turing Institute’s UK ML Industry Survey 2024, 39 % of advertised ML roles focus on strategy, compliance, product or operations rather than writing code. As models move from proof‑of‑concept to production, demand surges for specialists who translate algorithms into business value, manage risk and drive adoption. This guide reveals the fastest‑growing non‑coding ML roles, the transferable skills you may already have, real transition stories and a 90‑day action plan—no gradient descent necessary.
