Valerann is an exciting, rapidly growing AI mobility scale-up. We are a diverse and driven team that is making the road-based transport sector safer, greener, and more equitable through our unique AI and data analytics platform.

We work with governments and the world’s largest road operators to make our roads safer, greener, and less congested. Our product already serves roads in Europe, the US, Latin America, and the Middle East and helps road traffic authorities to have a good understanding of real-time traffic conditions and risks.

We do that through data, a lot of data. Our algorithms constantly ingest and process very large sets of structured and unstructured data coming from a broad range of disparate data sources, including connected vehicles, cameras, and crowdsourcing platforms. Our know-how is in deep data fusion and analytics. Our passion is to empower our customers with the tools to use that data to make our journeys safer and greener.

We have made tremendous progress to date, and we need your help to support our growth.

We are looking for a data engineer to help us improve our data pipelines and APIs. Each normally includes 5-10 microservices and ingests real-time data from sensors, cameras, weather stations, connected vehicles, etc. As we are serving mission-critical clients, our pipelines must be highly available, low latency, scalable, and low cost. Your responsibilities will include:

  • Working across our incident, computer vision, accident risk, weather analytics, and traffic data pipelines.
  • Developing microservices: adding features, improving performance, security, cost
  • Monitor the pipelines and ensure our systems meet our KPIs
  • Working side by side with data scientists, DevOps engineers and product managers

Requirements

  • BSc in Computer Science, Mathematics or a similar field; a Master’s degree is a plus
  • 6+ years of Proven experience as a Data or software Engineer + 2 years recent experience developing services in Python. 
  • Understanding of data structures, data modeling, and software architecture
  • Deep knowledge of maths, probability, statistics, and algorithms
  • Ability to write robust code in Python (OOP, DDD, TDD, Asyncio)
  • Ability to work in a team
  • Outstanding analytical and problem-solving skills
  • Engineering - Kafka, Postgres, Airflow, Docker, Data connectors
  • Cloud - AWS, Terraform,
  • Analytics - SQL
  • Tools - Github, Jira
  • Excellent communication skills

You should also be someone who:

  • Enjoy building things that last
  • Enjoy working in a start-up environment: Working in a small Agile team, and taking initiatives

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

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.
