Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Would you thrive in a fast-scaling business, solving novel problems in collaborative teams? Are you interested in developing machine learning products from conception to deployment? If so, you could be the person we are searching for. 


We are an IoT innovator working to scale our product deployments across the UK and EU. We are passionate about developing technology that will change paradigms and contribute to a sustainable future. We are building Virtual Energy Infrastructure using our world-leading machine learning algorithms.


We’re looking for a Machine Learning Research Engineer to work with us in our Data Science and AI Team. In this team, we build custom algorithms that use novel approaches to solve our business needs. You will be working with large, complex, and unique datasets to solve a wide range of difficult statistical, mathematical, and physical engineering problems. 


To achieve this, you will work with cutting-edge technologies in a highly collaborative environment. Key to this role is the ability to envision and design new algorithm products while carefully considering the practicality of rollout, wider strategic implications, and any legal or ethical considerations – and then taking these products from conception to deployment.


This will require strong software engineering expertise and excellent machine learning proficiency. The ideal candidate brings not just technical skills, but an intellectual curiosity and eagerness to expand their knowledge across diverse technical domains.


You will be working with an enthusiastic, agile and highly skilled team to deliver a paradigm-changing technology across Europe with a positive environmental and social impact. Our world-leading algorithmic products are at the core of our business, so as a part of the Data Science and AI Team, you will have a high level of exposure to the wider business.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Machine Learning Jobs Hub

Machine learning (ML) is becoming essential to industries across the globe—from finance and healthcare to retail, logistics, defence, and the public sector. Its ability to uncover patterns in data, make predictions, drive automation, and increase operational efficiency has made it one of the most in-demand skill sets in the technology world. In the UK, machine learning roles—from engineers to researchers, product managers to analysts—are increasingly central to innovation. Universities are expanding ML programmes, enterprises are scaling ML deployments, and startups are offering applied ML solutions. All signs point toward a surging need for professionals skilled in modelling, algorithms, data pipelines, and AI systems. This article explores why the United Kingdom is exceptionally well positioned to become a global machine learning jobs hub. It examines the current landscape, strengths, career paths, sector-specific demand, challenges, and what must happen for this vision to become reality.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Machine Learning Skills in 2025/26

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most in-demand career paths in technology. From predicting customer behaviour in retail to detecting fraud in banking and enabling medical breakthroughs in healthcare, ML is transforming industries across the UK and beyond. But here’s the truth: employers don’t just want candidates who have read about machine learning in textbooks. They want evidence that you can actually build, train, and deploy models. That means practising with real tools, working with real datasets, and solving real problems. The good news is that you don’t need to pay for expensive software or courses to get started. A wide range of free, open-source tools and platforms allow you to learn machine learning skills hands-on. Whether you’re a beginner or preparing for advanced roles, you can practise everything from simple linear regression to deploying deep learning models — at no cost. In this guide, we’ll explore the best free tools and platforms to practise machine learning skills in 2025, and how to use them effectively to build a portfolio that UK employers will notice.
