ABOUT GOOD-LOOP

Good-Loop makes it easy and profitable for big brands to do good at scale. Our mission is to create a positive role for advertising in society and we do that by building products that help brands plan, measure and buy Good-Media. They’re ads, except they’re good.

We work with the biggest brands in the world, from Nike and Adidas to L’Oreal, Doritos, Nature Valley and Toyota to deliver attention-earning, sustainable ads that prove doing good is good for business. And our carbon-neutral advertising has raised over $11m for good causes around the world – all while supporting quality journalism and diverse publications.

As the first carbon neutral B Corp in AdTech, Good-Loop is uniquely positioned to capitalise on the increasing consumer demand for businesses to step up and contribute to society. We’re a small, but agile and fast-moving team with a lot of heart and even more ambition.

ABOUT THE ROLE

As a Data Engineer with AI Experience, you will play a key role in designing, developing, and optimising scalable data pipelines and infrastructure. You will collaborate with data scientists, AI engineers, and cross-functional teams to integrate AI models into production environments while ensuring data integrity, security, and efficiency.

Responsibilities:

  • Design, implement, and maintain scalable data pipelines and infrastructure.
  • Develop data ingestion processes from various sources, ensuring reliability and efficiency.
  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand data and AI model requirements and deliver robust solutions.
  • Optimise data pipelines for performance, reliability, and scalability.
  • Ensure data quality and integrity through validation and monitoring processes.
  • Implement data security and privacy measures to protect sensitive information.
  • Build and deploy machine learning pipelines and support AI-driven applications.
  • Collaborate with data scientists and AI engineers to ensure seamless integration of AI models into production environments.
  • Stay updated with emerging technologies and best practices in data engineering and AI.

Experience:

  • Experience in designing and building data pipelines and infrastructure.
  • Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or Scala.
  • Hands-on experience with cloud platforms like AWS, Azure, or Google Cloud.
  • Strong understanding of database technologies, SQL, and NoSQL databases.
  • Experience working with AI frameworks and libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn.
  • Familiarity with building and deploying machine learning models in production environments.
  • Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to troubleshoot complex data and AI-related issues.
  • Strong communication and collaboration skills.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or related field.
  • Knowledge of MLOps practices, including model monitoring and versioning.

Key Performance Indicators (KPIs):

  • Timely delivery of scalable data and AI-driven solutions.
  • Data pipeline performance and reliability metrics.
  • Data quality metrics and resolution of data issues.
  • Implementation of data security and privacy measures.
  • Successful deployment and performance of AI models in production.
  • Efficiency and scalability of AI model inference pipelines.
  • Contribution to team knowledge and adoption of best practices.

Research shows that while men apply for jobs when they meet an average of 60% of the criteria, women and other marginalised groups tend to only apply when they tick every box. So if you think you have what it takes, but don’t necessarily meet every single requirement on the list above, please still get in touch. We’d love to have a chat and hear about what else you know.

WHY JOIN US?

We care about leaving the world a little bit better than we found it, we’re a passionate and kind team and we’re constantly asking what else we can do to push our industry, and our work, to be better.

We pride ourselves on a relaxed but productive working environment enabling both commercial success and personal development. No matter what stage of your career you're at - from paid internships and graduate opportunities right through to senior posts - we'll support you with the training and development you need to feel empowered to do your best work.

We strive to make Good-Loop a place where everyone can do their best work, by bringing together diversity of thought, perspectives, and experience, to create an inclusive environment where our people can be their best selves.

We welcome differences whether it’s gender, gender identity or expression, race, disability, age, sexual orientation, religion or belief, marital status, national origin, veteran status, or pregnancy and maternity status; so please, just be yourself.

HOW DO I APPLY?

If you’re applying for a tech role, we’d love to see a short portfolio of your best work. This could be a link to your github profile with a paragraph of commentary, or you could send some code samples. Show us projects you are passionate about, regardless of whether they are relevant to this job. Hobby projects preferred!

If you need us to make reasonable adjustments to ensure that your interview experience is a great one, please feel free to let us know by emailing

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

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.
