We’re on a mission to change lives through better sight and hearing and we believe machine learning and AI are key to making that happen. That’s why we’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing AI & ML Engineering team. If you’re excited by the idea of building intelligent solutions that make a real-world impact, this could be the role for you.


This is your chance to work on some of the most exciting and forward-thinking projects in the business. You’ll be designing and building machine learning models, developing generative AI solutions, and helping us shape the future of AI agents across a global organisation. From supply chain and marketing to clinical and in-store experiences, your work will touch every part of the Specsavers journey. You’ll collaborate with data engineers, MLOps specialists, and product owners to bring ideas to life turning complex challenges into smart, scalable solutions.


We’re looking for someone who’s hands-on, curious, and ready to make a difference. You’ll need strong experience in Python especially with the scikit learn ecosystem and MLFlow and be confident working with SQL to manipulate and cleanse large datasets. You’ll have a solid understanding of both supervised and unsupervised machine learning techniques, and you’ll know how to evaluate and deploy models in a cloud environment. Experience with AI APIs, pretrained open-source models, and tools like Databricks or Azure Cognitive Services will be a big plus. If you’ve worked on end-to-end Gen AI solutions or have applied ML in retail or ecommerce settings, we definitely want to hear from you.


You’ll also need to be a great communicator able to explain complex technical ideas in a clear, compelling way to non-technical stakeholders. And just as importantly, you’ll bring a strong ethical mindset, a collaborative spirit, and a genuine enthusiasm for learning and innovation.


So, are you ready to help us unlock the power of AI? If you’re looking for a role where you can innovate, collaborate, and see the real-world impact of your work we’d love to hear from you. Join Specsavers and help us build a smarter, more connected future.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

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.
