Machine Learning Engineer (SC Cleared)

Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Lead Data Scientist - Remote

Date: July 2025
Company: Fuzzy Labs
Job Title: MLOps Engineer
Location: Central Manchester
Working style: Hybrid

Fuzzy Labs are a Manchester based startup that helps our clients productionise machine learning through Open Source MLOps. We exist to help harness and channel the power of AI more quickly, to make positive change and use AI for good.

We are growing our team of engineers to help deliver an increasing number of client projects. You won’t need an existing MLOps background to apply for this role. You’ll learn as you go by immersing yourself in this exciting new field.

What we’re looking for

We’ve seen considerable growth over the past few years and this will continue as we build on our reputation as Open Source MLOps experts, while working with the community, and delivering solutions to our clients. The ideal candidate would be motivated to grow and progress in line with the company’s ambitions.

As well as being a great engineer, motivated by the chance to be at the forefront of MLOps adoption, you’ll also enjoy being part of a culture that values:

  • Loving what we do:a real passion for Open Source, MLOps and taking pride in great work.
  • Just trying it:MLOps is an exciting new field. We love to develop new skills, solve new problems and thrive on a challenge.
  • Being greater than the sum of parts:we are a team, one that isn’t just us but our customers and our community.
  • Positive impact:AI is going to change the world. We choose to use it for good and leave a positive legacy.

A typical day

You’ll work within an engineering squad and take part in every stage of the project delivery lifecycle, including:

  • Working directly with clients to understand their needs and recommend appropriate solutions.
  • Implementing features to a high standard of engineering, which includes good documentation and automated testing.
  • Participating in sprint planning sessions, retrospectives and code reviews.
  • Ensuring our high engineering standards are maintained and our clients are delighted.
  • Staying up-to-date with a fast-moving industry, embracing new tools and frameworks.

As well as client work, we also set aside time to work on R&D projects and produce content in the form of blogs and videos. These projects are how we keep on top of a fast-moving technology landscape, in addition to being our greatest source of marketing. You’ll have the opportunity to craft your own voice in the MLOps community through R&D content.

Skills and Experience

Our team is made up of a mix of backgrounds. We are looking for smart, curious people who are always expanding their knowledge, and exploring new and emerging technologies. If you get excited about keeping up with the newest large language models, or figuring out how to scale generative models in the cloud, then you’ll fit right in.

  • Able to commute to our central Manchester office 3 days per week.
  • A degree in computer science, mathematics, or a science related subject.
  • A passion for coding, data science, and open source technologies.
  • Ability to write and review production-grade Python.
  • Experience with cloud computing, for example AWS, Google Cloud or Azure, along with modern DevOps practices and infrastructure-as-code tools.
  • Fluency in our core software tooling: Git, Unix/Linux, Docker. Plus, a strong opinion on your IDE / editor of choice is welcome
  • Familiarity with modern machine learning tools, for instance TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch or SKLearn. Commercial experience with these is not essential.
  • Excellent communication skills; both in customer-facing and internal team communication.
  • Knowledge of MLOps is not essential, but some awareness of this emerging space is good to have.

Due to the sensitive nature of some projects, you will be expected to undergo UK government security clearance after you start (at SC level – seethis link for more information). This will include a credit check and criminal records check.

By joining a small company you’ll have the chance to make a real impact on its future. There’s plenty of room for growth and we’ll work with you to help you realise your technical and personal ambitions because your success and the company’s success are one and the same.

  • 25 days holiday rising to 30 with service.
  • Equity option scheme, giving you agenuine stake in the business.
  • Cycle to Work Scheme.

Location

We run anorganised hybrid scheme. On Monday, Wednesday and Thursday we work in the office, and use these days for the type of activities where being present in person brings benefits; for example sprint planning, project scheduling, retrospectives, social lunches and one to ones.

Interested?

If you’d like to work with us, send us a CV to the email address below, and include a few words about yourself, and what interests you about the role and Fuzzy Labs. We love to see your passion for technology, so please include any links to your Github, Kaggle, tech blog, and cool side-projects, if you have them.

Top 10 Skills in Machine Learning According to LinkedIn & Indeed Job Postings

Machine learning (ML) is at the forefront of innovation, powering systems in finance, healthcare, retail, logistics, and beyond in the UK. As organisations leverage ML for predictive analytics, automation, and intelligent systems, demand for skilled practitioners continues to grow. So, which skills are most in demand? Drawing on insights from LinkedIn and Indeed, this article outlines the Top 10 machine learning skills UK employers are looking for in 2025. You'll learn how to demonstrate these capabilities through your CV, interviews, and real-world projects.

The Future of Machine Learning Jobs: Careers That Don’t Exist Yet

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most powerful forces reshaping the modern world. From voice assistants and recommendation engines to fraud detection and medical imaging, it underpins countless applications. ML is no longer confined to research labs—it powers business models, public services, and consumer technologies across the globe. In the UK, demand for machine learning professionals has risen dramatically. Organisations in finance, retail, healthcare, and defence are embedding ML into their operations. Start-ups in Cambridge, London, and Edinburgh are pioneering innovations, while government-backed initiatives aim to position the UK as a global AI leader. Salaries for ML engineers and researchers are among the highest in the tech sector. Yet despite its current importance, machine learning is only at the beginning of its journey. Advances in generative AI, quantum computing, robotics, and ethical governance will reshape the profession. Many of the most vital machine learning jobs of the next two decades don’t exist today. This article explores why new careers will emerge, the roles likely to appear, how today’s roles will evolve, why the UK is well positioned, and how professionals can prepare now.

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.
