Senior Machine Learning Engineer - AI Data Trainer

ECOM are partnered with an exciting software development company based in Manchester who are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer.


You will join an innovative technology company at the forefront of machine learning and artificial intelligence solutions. As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you'll be part of a dynamic team dedicated to pushing the boundaries of AI technology and creating impactful solutions.


Role Overview:

Seeking a talented Senior Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development and implementation of advanced machine learning models and algorithms. As a key member of our team, you will work on challenging projects, leveraging your expertise in machine learning to drive innovation and solve complex problems.


Responsibilities:


- Design, develop, and deploy machine learning models and algorithms to address business challenges and opportunities.

- Collaborate with cross-functional teams, including software engineers and data scientists, to integrate machine learning solutions into our products and services.

- Lead the end-to-end machine learning lifecycle, from data collection and pre-processing to model training, evaluation, and deployment.

- Research and experiment with state-of-the-art machine learning techniques and methodologies to improve model performance and scalability.

- Optimise machine learning pipelines for efficiency, scalability, and reliability, considering both computational and operational constraints.


Requirements:


- Bachelor's or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, Mathematics, or related field.

- Proven experience (5+ years) in developing and deploying machine learning models and algorithms in real-world applications.

- Strong proficiency in Python programming and popular machine learning libraries/frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn).

- Deep understanding of machine learning concepts and techniques, including supervised/unsupervised learning, deep learning, reinforcement learning, etc.

- Strong communication and interpersonal skills, with the ability to effectively communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders.


Operating with a hybrid business model, you'll be required to come into the Manchester office 2 days per week to collaborate with fellow colleagues.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

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.
