Senior MLOps Engineer: AI-Driven Banking Platform

At UnlikelyAI, we are building the future of AI: one that is reliable, accurate and transparent. Our Neurosymbolic technology harnesses the power of LLMs and generative AI, and combines it with Universal Language – our proprietary symbolic technology that bridges the gap between probabilistic machine learning and deterministic classical computing.

In order to make an application, simply read through the following job description and make sure to attach relevant documents.To meet the demands of our increasing commercial traction, we are looking for a smart, dedicated senior software engineer to join our world-class team. We are looking for someone who thrives on diving deep into code, to solve challenging and novel problems. You will have extensive software engineering experience, with exceptional coding ability ideally including experience in high-growth start-ups.This role will play a major role in developing our core capabilities, including working on how computers reason. You will work closely with other software engineers, research engineers and applied scientists in a heavily cross-functional environment.Required

Exceptional coding ability in at least one of our core languages: Java/Kotlin or Python.Previous experience working with complex algorithms and data structures.Experience in building well-tested code for production and a demonstrable history of advocating for software quality and evangelising best practices.Experience with leading the process from ideation to production for brand new software systems.Relevant degree: Computer Science, Mathematics, Engineering, STEM.Bias for action—able to move quickly and make informed decisions.Experience working with cloud computing (AWS preferred, but any provider is fine).Why Join Us?

Team

- We have a world-class team of intelligent, focused, collaborative people. We're ambitious, move fast and have a lot of fun while doing it.Vision

- We have a huge vision for the future. This offers a unique opportunity to work on the foundational layers of AI but, unlike many other companies, we're not just scaling LLMs, we're focused on a novel neuro-symbolic approach.Tech

- You'll work with our novel and cutting-edge tech. Driving this forward involves solving some exciting challenges, so our team has the freedom to be creative and explore innovative ideas in an environment where our technology is evolving and maturing.Location: We are currently operating a hybrid scheme with a small office near Holborn tube station available to anyone who wants to work there. We also have occasional team days where everyone meets face to face and days where people work heads down from home, communicating with colleagues using Slack and Zoom.Equal Opportunities: We are committed to having a truly diverse team where everyone is encouraged to be their authentic selves.

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.

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.
