Key responsibilities will include:

Solution Architecture and Design

Design and oversee high-level software architectures aligned with business objectives.

Apply data engineering principles to design efficient data pipelines and storage.

Integrate solutions seamlessly with machine learning models and data science workflows.

Technical Leadership and Collaboration

Collaborate closely with researcher engineers, data scientists, software and DevOps engineers, to ensure the quality of solutions.

Promote best practices within the team, including rigorous testing, code review, continuous integration/continuous deployment (CI/CD) techniques, and well-maintained documentation.

Introduce innovative solutions using emerging technologies.

Team Leadership and Development

Lead and mentor a team of developers, fostering excellence.

Enhance team skills in coding practices and technical competencies.

Conduct performance evaluations and support career growth.

A bachelor's degree in computer science, Software Engineering, or a related field is required; a master's degree or relevant certifications (such as AWS Certified Solutions Architect) are highly desirable.

Professional experience in software development, including significant experience in software architecture and team leadership.

Proven ability to design high-level software architectures aligned with business goals.

Technical knowledge

Understanding of data architecture concepts and best practices to support our machine learning and data science activities.

Experience in architecting and managing scalable cloud-native solutions particularly on AWS.

Advanced knowledge of Python programming and relevant frameworks.

Bonus: Working knowledge of other languages, especially JVM-based, Go, or Rust.

Bonus: Familiarity with some of our other key applications, e.g. web or mobile front-end design, data persistency, IoT devices.

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.
