Machine Learning Engineer (Reinforcement Learning)

We are seeking a talented and experienced Machine Learning Engineer with a background in Reinforcement Learning to join our team. This engineer will contribute to the further development of Arena, a web-based software platform for reinforcement learning training and RLOps, and our open-source reinforcement learning library.


Responsibilities

  • Collaborate with the team to understand requirements and design new features of the Arena platform and open-source framework.
  • Develop scalable and reliable infrastructure to support reinforcement learning model training, LLM finetuning, model deployment, and management.
  • Integrate existing machine learning frameworks and libraries into the platform and open-source framework, providing a range of algorithms, environments, and tools for reinforcement learning model development.
  • Stay up-to-date with the latest advancements in AI, MLOps, reinforcement learning algorithms, tools, and techniques, and incorporate them into the platform as appropriate.
  • Provide technical guidance and support to internal users and external customers using the Arena platform and open-source framework.

Requirements

  • Master’s or Ph.D. degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field, or 3+ years of relevant industry experience.
  • Solid understanding of reinforcement learning algorithms and concepts, with hands‑on experience in building and training reinforcement learning models.
  • Strong programming skills, with experience using reinforcement learning and ML frameworks and libraries (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, Ray, Gym, RLLib, SB3, TRL), and MLOps tools.
  • Solid understanding of hyperparameter optimisation techniques and strategies.
  • Experience in building machine learning platforms or tooling for industrial or enterprise settings.
  • Proficiency in data management techniques, including storage, retrieval, and pre‑processing of large‑scale datasets.
  • Familiarity with model deployment and management, including the development of APIs, deployment pipelines, and performance optimisation.
  • Experience in designing and developing cloud‑based infrastructure for distributed computing and scalable data processing.
  • Deep understanding of software engineering and machine learning principles and best practices.
  • Strong problem‑solving and communication skills, and the ability to work independently as well as in a team environment.

Compensation

  • Competitive salary + significant stock options.
  • 30 days of holiday, plus bank holidays, per year.
  • Flexible working from home and 6-month remote working policies.
  • Enhanced parental leave.
  • Learning budget of £500 per calendar year for books, training courses and conferences.
  • Company pension scheme.
  • Regular team socials and quarterly all‑company parties.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.

MLOps Jobs in the UK: The Complete Career Guide for Machine Learning Professionals

Machine learning has moved from experimentation to production at scale. As a result, MLOps jobs have become some of the most in-demand and best-paid roles in the UK tech market. For job seekers with experience in machine learning, data science, software engineering or cloud infrastructure, MLOps represents a powerful career pivot or progression. This guide is designed to help you understand what MLOps roles involve, which skills employers are hiring for, how to transition into MLOps, salary expectations in the UK, and how to land your next role using specialist platforms like MachineLearningJobs.co.uk.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.
