Job Description:
Summary:
Exciting opportunity to work at a tech-centric prop trading fund which trades a wide range of financial products, with offices across the globe. Looking for an experienced engineer with low-level systems programming and optimization expertise to join their growing ML team.
Machine learning is front and centre at this firm, and your focus will be to optimize the performance of their models: both training and inference. Theyre interested in efficient large-scale training, low-latency inference in real-time systems, and high-throughput inference in research. Partly this will involve improving straightforward CUDA, but they also need a whole-systems approach, including storage systems, networking, and host- and GPU-level considerations.
The successful candidate will be a smart, curious software engineer who enjoys finding solutions for complex problems. If you also have a great appetite for learning new things, this role is for you!
Requirements:
An understanding of modern ML techniques and toolsets, with a strong focus on performance
The systems knowledge & experience required to debug a training runs performance end to end
Low-level GPU and compute cluster knowledge, CUDA or other types of GPU programming, e.g. PTX, SASS, warps, cooperative groups, Tensor Cores, & the memory hierarchy
Debugging/optimization tooling experience, e.g. CUDA GDB, NSight Systems, NSight Compute, etc.
Library knowledge of Triton, CUTLASS, CUB, Thrust, cuDNN, and cuBLAS
Generous benefits package, including physical & mental health benefits, excellent holiday entitlement, significant parental leave, retirement benefits, private on-site gym
Focus on learning & development with tuition reimbursement
Recreation spaces with breakfast, lunch, snacks and treats
Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.

Seasonal Hiring Peaks for Machine Learning Jobs: The Best Months to Apply & Why

The UK's machine learning sector has evolved into one of Europe's most intellectually stimulating and financially rewarding technology markets, with roles spanning from junior ML engineers to principal machine learning scientists and heads of artificial intelligence research. With machine learning positions commanding salaries from £32,000 for graduate ML engineers to £160,000+ for senior principal scientists, understanding when organisations actively recruit can dramatically accelerate your career progression in this pioneering and rapidly evolving field. Unlike traditional software engineering roles, machine learning hiring follows distinct patterns influenced by AI research cycles, model development timelines, and algorithmic innovation schedules. The sector's unique combination of mathematical rigour, computational complexity, and real-world application requirements creates predictable hiring windows that strategic professionals can leverage to advance their careers in developing tomorrow's intelligent systems. This comprehensive guide explores the optimal timing for machine learning job applications in the UK, examining how enterprise AI strategies, academic research cycles, and deep learning initiatives influence recruitment patterns, and why strategic timing can determine whether you join a groundbreaking AI research team or miss the opportunity to develop the next generation of machine learning algorithms.

Pre-Employment Checks for Machine Learning Jobs: DBS, References & Right-to-Work and more Explained

Pre-employment screening in machine learning reflects the discipline's unique position at the intersection of artificial intelligence research, algorithmic decision-making, and transformative business automation. Machine learning professionals often have privileged access to proprietary datasets, cutting-edge algorithms, and strategic AI systems that form the foundation of organizational competitive advantage and automated decision-making capabilities. The machine learning industry operates within complex regulatory frameworks spanning AI governance directives, algorithmic accountability requirements, and emerging ML ethics regulations. Machine learning specialists must demonstrate not only technical competence in model development and deployment but also deep understanding of algorithmic fairness, AI safety principles, and the societal implications of automated decision-making at scale. Modern machine learning roles frequently involve developing systems that impact hiring decisions, financial services, healthcare diagnostics, and autonomous operations across multiple regulatory jurisdictions and ethical frameworks simultaneously. The combination of algorithmic influence, predictive capabilities, and automated decision-making authority makes thorough candidate verification essential for maintaining compliance, fairness, and public trust in AI-powered systems.
