Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.


Should you join us, you’ll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.


Bringing medicine to patients is complex, expensive and high‑risk. Faculty’s Life Science team is concentrated on building AI solutions which optimise the research and commercialisation of life‑changing therapies.


We partner with major pharma firms, academic research centres and MedTech start‑ups to design and deliver solutions which address critical healthcare challenges, and help to democratise health for all.


About the role:

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, we’ll look to you to lead development and deployment of cutting‑edge AI systems for our diverse clients. You’ll design, build, and deploy scalable, production‑grade ML software and infrastructure that meets rigorous operational and ethical standards.


This is an ambitious, cross‑functional role requiring a blend of technical expertise, engineering leadership, and confident client‑facing skills.


What you'll be doing:

  • Leading technical scoping and architectural decisions for high‑impact ML systems
  • Designing and building production‑grade ML software, tools, and scalable infrastructure
  • Defining and implementing best practices and standards for deploying machine learning at scale across the business
  • Collaborating with engineers, data scientists, product managers, and commercial teams to solve critical client challenges and leverage opportunities
  • Acting as a trusted technical advisor to customers and partners, translating complex concepts into actionable strategies
  • Mentoring and developing junior engineers, actively shaping our team's engineering culture and technical depth

Who we're looking for:

  • You understand the full ML lifecycle and have significant experience operationalising models built with frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch
  • You bring deep expertise in software engineering and strong Python skills, focusing on building robust, reusable systems
  • You have demonstrable hands‑on experience with cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP), including architecture, security, and infrastructure
  • You’ve extensive experience working with container and orchestration tools such as Docker & Kubernetes to build and manage applications at scale
  • You thrive in fast‑paced, high‑growth environments, demonstrating ownership and autonomy in driving projects to completion
  • You communicate exceptionally well, confidently guiding both technical teams and senior, non‑technical stakeholders

What we can offer you:

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.


Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals.


Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something new from everyone you meet.

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.
