About the Role

We’re looking for a highly capable Senior Data/Software Engineer who combines deep technical software engineering expertise with a strong understanding of data processing and analysis. This role is central to the development of scalable data systems and high-performance applications. You'll be working in a Linux-first environment, writing robust code in Python, Rust, C++ and contributing to a range of projects involving infrastructure, data engineering, and performance-critical applications.


Key Responsibilities

  • Design, build, and maintain high-quality, high-performance data pipelines using Python and Rust.
  • Write infrastructure-as-code for managing Linux-based systems and services.
  • Analyse large and complex datasets, writing custom tools and scripts where needed.
  • Collaborate across engineering and data teams to support data-driven decision-making.
  • Contribute to infrastructure projects and system-level programming as needed.
  • Review and work with code in Python, Rust, and occasionally C++ for integration or debugging.


What We're Looking For

  • Strong programming experience inPythonandRust(Rust is a significant plus).
  • Solid grasp of Linux environments; comfortable working deep in the OS.
  • Experience with infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g., Terraform, Ansible, etc.).
  • Proven track record in software engineering roles with strong exposure to data processing.
  • Comfortable wearing multiple hats—software development, data analysis, and infrastructure.
  • Ability to work independently, troubleshoot effectively, and avoid unnecessary dependencies.
  • A strong systems thinker with a low-level understanding of how data and computation interact.


Preferred Background

  • Experience in high-performance computing environments.
  • Previous work in gaming, trading, or similar industries where performance and data are critical.
  • Exposure to C++ is beneficial for understanding legacy systems or performance code

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.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.
