The role will focus on building scalable, secure, and reliable infrastructure to support real-time operations and data-driven products. The ideal candidate will have expertise in relational databases, NoSQL technologies, AWS cloud services, and familiarity with backend development in Python. A key part of this role will involve optimizing SQL queries and database operations to ensure fast, efficient data retrieval and manipulation.



Key Responsibilities:



  • Design, deploy, and maintain scalable, high-availability systems on AWS, including data warehouses, data lakes, and large PostgreSQL databases for feature storage and retrieval.
  • Work with large datasets using tools like Pandas or Spark for data manipulation and processing.
  • Develop and manage FastAPI endpoints to facilitate internal service tools and interfaces.
  • Identify and implement improvements in the ML model lifecycle through tools that enhance experimentation.
  • Apply best practices in testing, continuous integration, and continuous delivery (CI/CD) to ensure reliable development and deployment of ML services.
  • Collaborate closely with platform engineers, ML engineers, and cross-functional teams to bring research solutions into production.
  • Ensure adherence to data privacy regulations, enforce cloud security best practices, and provide technical guidance to the team.



Qualifications:



  • 3+ years of experience with AWS services (e.g., EC2, RDS, S3, SageMaker, Lambda) and AWS data warehousing and data lake solutions.
  • 3+ years of experience working with large relational databases.
  • 5+ years of experience with Python API frameworks (e.g., FastAPI, Django, Flask) for building RESTful services and Python libraries like Pandas or Spark.
  • AWS certifications such as AWS Solutions Architect or AWS DevOps Engineer.



Preferred Requirements:



  • Master’s or Ph.D. in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Statistics, or a related discipline.
  • Experience with container orchestration technologies like Docker.
  • Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as GitLab.
  • Demonstrated expertise in deploying and managing ML models in production using MLOps tools (e.g., MLFlow, TensorBoard, Weights & Biases).
  • Strong understanding of cloud security practices, data protection strategies, and AWS cloud computing platforms.
  • Proficiency in Python with experience using libraries such as PyTorch and scikit-learn; TensorFlow experience is a plus.
  • Proven ability to lead projects from concept to completion, with an emphasis on innovation, impact, and collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.



Benefits:



  • Comprehensive salary
  • Long term incentives
  • 25+ days holiday
  • Clear development pathway

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.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
