Overview

Our client is a leading AI consultancy and software company delivering impactful, human-centric AI solutions to government, industry, and global organisations. They combine deep technical expertise with a pragmatic approach to solving complex, high-stakes problems. They are seeking a Machine Learning Engineer to join their London Government team on a 6-month fixed-term contract. This role offers the opportunity to design, build, and deploy production-grade ML systems that have a direct impact on government services and policy delivery.


What you’ll be doing

  • Designing and delivering software, infrastructure, and MLOps systems that bring ML models into real-world use.
  • Collaborating in cross-functional teams with engineers, data scientists, product managers, and designers.
  • Creating scalable, reusable tools that improve ML deployment and operationalisation.
  • Leading on technical design and delivery of government-focused projects.
  • Providing technical expertise to stakeholders and mentoring less experienced engineers.
  • Developing and embedding best practices for managing ML in production.

What we’re looking for

  • Active SC Clearance
  • Strong software engineering background with proficiency in Python.
  • Experience deploying ML models built with frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn.
  • Knowledge of probability, statistics, and common ML techniques.
  • Hands-on experience with at least one major cloud platform (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
  • Proficiency with containers, Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • Strong communication skills with the ability to work across technical and non-technical teams.
  • Comfortable working in a high-growth, fast-paced environment.

Travel & Location

  • Open to applicants from anywhere in the UK.
  • Expectation to travel to London client site up to 3 days per week (worst case), with the remainder of time split between remote and office-based working.
  • Hybrid working with flexibility across UK locations.
  • Work on government AI projects that have real-world policy and citizen impact.
  • Opportunity to shape and deliver applied AI systems at scale.
  • Be part of a high-calibre team with exposure to cutting-edge thinking in AI engineering.

This role is for someone who wants to move beyond experimentation and bring machine learning into live production systems where it makes a measurable difference to public services. If you have the technical capability, the clearance, and the drive to deliver meaningful outcomes, this is a chance to contribute to projects that matter while working alongside some of the most skilled practitioners in applied AI.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.

Why the UK Could Be the World’s Next Machine Learning Jobs Hub

Machine learning (ML) is becoming essential to industries across the globe—from finance and healthcare to retail, logistics, defence, and the public sector.
