We’re partnering with a global SaaS enterprise that has recently acquired a logistics‑optimisation platform. They’re assembling a specialist project team to build an agentic data connector that integrates the newly acquired product with their existing cloud ecosystem. The mission: create a standalone application capable of auto‑discovering APIs, interpreting schemas, and generating accurate data mappings without manual intervention.


What you’ll work on:


  • Build and validate ML models for automated schema understanding, entity recognition, and mapping generation.
  • Analyse APIs and data structures from both platforms to identify integration patterns.
  • Design experiments and prototypes to improve mapping accuracy and agent decision‑making.
  • Collaborate with engineering and product teams to shape agent behaviour and data interpretation logic.
  • Contribute to anagent‑first development approach, orchestrating AI tools to solve integration challenges rapidly.


Skills & experience:


  • Strong background in DS/ML (NLP, optimisation, or schema‑matching experience is a plus).
  • Solid understanding of APIs, data models, and transformation workflows.
  • Experience with agentic AI tools (e.g., Claude, agent frameworks).
  • Comfortable in a fast‑paced R&D‑driven environment.
  • Bonus: exposure to logistics datasets or consultancy experience.


Tech environment:


  • GCP
  • Python (Django beneficial)
  • GraphQL
  • React (handled mainly by engineering)


Contract: 6 months (Inside IR35)

Rate: £550-£650 p/d

Start: ASAP

Location: Remote (UK or Europe)


This is a unique opportunity to shape a genuinely agentic, AI‑driven integration engine within a major global tech organisation.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
