Apply your advanced engineering skills to problems in maths and machine learning

Looking for a mathematical software engineer role at a growing company that’s starting their adoption of machine learning technology?

This company creates mathematical tools for solving numerical optimisation problems for logistics and trading. Their unique software toolkit is relied upon by clients worldwide. Due to their continued success, they are seeking to recruit an additional engineer to the team with an outstanding background in computer science, as well as strong coding and mathematical skills.

You will need:
• A strong academic background in computer science (1st or 2.1 from a leading university, good A-levels or equivalent), and a PhD in a relevant computing or mathematical subject.
• Hands-on coding skills in Java, C#, C++, Rust, or similar. (Regrettably, scripting languages alone won’t be sufficient.)

A strong understanding of large language models or neural networks would be advantageous.

The company are based in Central London location with excellent transport hubs and amenities nearby.

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.
