Overview

Research Engineer, ML, AI & Computer Vision at Oculus VR (Meta Reality Labs Research). The Surreal Spatial AI group seeks high-performing research engineers to build machine perception technology allowing AI agents and systems to perceive and understand the 3D world around them. The aim of this role is to develop, advance and integrate ML and computer vision models and software for full-stack, real-time machine perception prototypes for egocentric devices such as Meta's Project Aria, including 3D environment and object reconstruction, semantic understanding, and estimation and understanding of user motion, actions and activities.

Responsibilities
  • Implement and prototype advanced research systems and technologies spanning device and cloud, in the domain of AI and machine perception
  • Collaborate with team members throughout the lifetime of a project, from early research through technology and experience prototyping
  • Play a critical role in the definition and execution of system research roadmaps in partnership with cross-functional organizations in computer vision, machine learning, graphics, sensors, optics and silicon
  • Collaborate with cross-functional engineering and research teams from Reality Labs and FAIR in computer vision, machine learning, and graphics
Minimum Qualifications
  • Bachelor\'s degree in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Robotics or a related technical field
  • Experience in one or more of the following areas: Deep Learning, Computer Vision, AR/VR, 3D Vision, Robotics, Machine Learning or artificial intelligence
  • Experience developing computer vision algorithms or computer vision infrastructure in C/C++ or Python
Preferred Qualifications
  • Experience with distributed systems or on-device algorithm development
  • Industry experience working on projects such as real-time Simultaneous Localization and Mapping and 3D reconstruction, sensor fusion and active depth sensing, object and body tracking and pose estimation, and/or image processing
  • Experience in deep learning and PyTorch
  • MSc or PhD degree in Computer Science, Computer Vision, Machine Learning, Robotics or related technical field

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
