Engineius’ goal is simple: to make vehicle movement easy. We are on our way to creating the leading end-to-end movement solution in the UK for our customers (such as Hertz and The AA), delivered by our network of 600+ drivers and transport agents across the UK.

Since going live in April 2018, we have acquired over 80 clients, many of whom can claim to be amongst the largest players in the UK automotive industry. We are already one of the largest competitors in our space but have ambitions to grow much further, and we are crazy about sustainability. To date we have saved fleets over 3,000,000 tonnes of CO2.

We are seeing our hard work paying off as we have won seven awards, including Best Fleet Software three years in a row, a highly commended wellbeing award, two innovation awards, and one outstanding product of the year award.

Key Responsibilities:

Optimise and scale existing C++ code for better memory utilisation and computational efficiency.
Write efficient, high-performance C++ code to support logistics automation.
Use Python to develop new features and enhancements for our logistics systems.
Maintain and refactor a production codebase, ensuring reliability and scalability.
Collaborate with our data scientist to refine and optimise automation solutions.
Troubleshoot and resolve performance bottlenecks in a production environment.
Participate in code reviews and architectural discussions to maintain high coding standards.

Skills and experience are we looking for

Requirements:

Relevant experience working as a software developer.
Proficiency in modern C++, with a strong focus on parallelisation and performance optimisation.
Experience with Python, particularly machine learning and data processing libraries.
Understanding of Python optimisation techniques, such as multiprocessing and JIT compilation.
Experience maintaining a production codebase, with a focus on stability and efficiency.
Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to debug complex systems.

Nice-to-Have Skills:

Experience with low-level programming, particularly writing CUDA kernels and using SIMD intrinsics.
Experience with a C++ parallelisation framework, such as OpenMP.
Familiarity with cloud computing (AWS, GCP, Azure) or containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes).
Understanding of routing, scheduling, or logistics algorithms.

Universities are expanding ML programmes, enterprises are scaling ML deployments, and startups are offering applied ML solutions. All signs point toward a surging need for professionals skilled in modelling, algorithms, data pipelines, and AI systems. This article explores why the United Kingdom is exceptionally well positioned to become a global machine learning jobs hub. It examines the current landscape, strengths, career paths, sector-specific demand, challenges, and what must happen for this vision to become reality.

The Best Free Tools & Platforms to Practise Machine Learning Skills in 2025/26

Machine learning (ML) has become one of the most in-demand career paths in technology. From predicting customer behaviour in retail to detecting fraud in banking and enabling medical breakthroughs in healthcare, ML is transforming industries across the UK and beyond.
