You will be part of a team designing and building a Gen AI virtual agent to support customers and employees across multiple channels. You will build and run LLM-powered agentic experiences, owning the design, orchestration, MLOps, and continuous improvement.

  • Design & build client-specific GenAI/LLM virtual agents
  • Enable the orchestration, management, and execution of AI-powered interactions through purpose-built AI agents
  • Design, build, and maintain robust LLM-powered processing workflows
  • Develop cutting-edge testing suites related to bespoke LLM performance metrics
  • Implement CI/CD pipelines for ML/LLM: automated build, train, validate, and deploy processes for chatbots and agent services
  • Use Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CloudFormation) to provision scalable cloud environments for training and real-time inference
  • Monitor model and service health through observability, drift detection, hallucination checks, SLOs, and alerting
  • Serve models at scale using containerization, auto-scaling (e.g., Kubernetes), with low-latency inference
  • Maintain data and model versioning with a central model registry, including lineage and rollback capabilities
  • Deliver a live performance dashboard tracking metrics like intent accuracy, latency, and error rates, along with a retraining strategy
  • Lead and foster creativity around frameworks and models; collaborate closely with product, engineering, and client stakeholders

Qualifications / Experience

  • Relevant primary degree, preferably MSc or PhD
  • Proven expertise in mathematics, classical ML algorithms, and deep knowledge of LLMs (prompting, fine-tuning, RAG/tool use, evaluation)
  • Hands-on experience with AWS and Azure services for data/ML (e.g., Bedrock/SageMaker, Azure OpenAI/Azure ML)
  • Strong engineering skills in Python, APIs, containers, Git; experience with CI/CD (GitHub Actions/Azure DevOps), IaC (Terraform/CloudFormation)
  • Experience with scalable serving infrastructure: containerized, auto-scaling environments (e.g., Kubernetes) for low-latency model serving
  • Workflow automation across the machine learning lifecycle, from data ingestion to model retraining and deployment
  • Development of live performance dashboards displaying key metrics such as intent accuracy, response latency, and error rates
  • Experience with centralized model registries, versioning, and lineage management
  • Automated retraining workflows with proper documentation
  • Experience with Kubernetes, inference optimization, caching, vector stores, and model registries
  • Excellent communication skills, stakeholder management, and ability to produce clear technical documentation and runbooks

Personal Attributes

  • Personal Integrity, Stakeholder Management, Project Management, Agile Methodologies, Automation, Data Visualization, and Analysis.

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.
