Senior Machine Learning and AI Developer

Senior Data Scientist

Machine Learning Engineer

We work with our clients to fully exploit their data using the power of AI & Analytics to deliver real business value at scale across the organisation. We have a track record of success across a wide range of public and private sector clients with whom we have built long-standing relationships of trust and collaboration.

Hybrid working: The places that you work from day to day will vary according to your role, your needs, and those of the business; it will be a blend of Company offices, client sites, and your home; noting that you will be unable to work at home 100% of the time.

If you are offered this position, you will go through a series of pre-employment checks, including:
identity, nationality (single or dual) or immigration status, 3 continuous years employment history, and unspent criminal record check (known as Disclosure and Barring Service).

Your Role

We are looking for an exceptional individual with a proven track record in designing, implementing, and deploying AI/ML solutions using the Google Cloud Platform (GCP), specifically Vertex AI. The ideal candidate should be able to demonstrate thought leadership and deep technical expertise in areas such as machine learning, GenAI and data science, combined with solid solution architecture and software engineering experience, who can define our go-to-market strategy to drive growth in our already successful analytics capability.

You will work closely with clients to understand their business needs, translate them into technical requirements, and design robust, scalable, and secure AI solutions on Vertex AI. You will also publish internal and public whitepapers and represent Capgemini at conferences to showcase our capabilities and awareness of the current state-of-the-art in AI & Analytics.

Your skills and experience

We are looking for talented and motivated individuals with many but not necessarily all the following skills and experience:

  1. Strong understanding of core Google Cloud products such as Big Query, Dataplex, Pub/Sub etc and how they should be combined to build a strong, unified foundation for Data and AI.
  2. An understanding of the various methods of building and deploying ML capability across an enterprise in Google Cloud (e.g. AutoML, BigQueryML, pre-trained APIs etc.) and the ability to articulate the pro’s / con’s of each approach.
  3. Experience designing, building, and managing MLOps workflows using Vertex AI Pipelines or similar tools.
  4. Experience leveraging and customizing large language models (LLMs) within Vertex AI, using native Google Cloud models such as Gemini in addition to those available in the Model Garden.
  5. Expertise in deploying models to Vertex AI endpoints, managing model versions, and implementing model monitoring and retraining strategies.
  6. An awareness of current Google Cloud product trends in areas such as Agentic AI and Search (e.g. Vertex AI Agent Builder, AI Search and Google Agent Space).

Your security clearance

To be successfully appointed to this role, it is a requirement to obtain Security Check (SC) clearance.


To obtain SC clearance, the successful applicant must have resided continuously within the United Kingdom for the last 5 years, along with other criteria and requirements.


Throughout the recruitment process, you will be asked questions about your security clearance eligibility such as, but not limited to, country of residence and nationality.


Some posts are restricted to sole UK Nationals for security reasons; therefore, you may be asked about your citizenship in the application process.

What does ‘Get The Future You Want ‘ mean for you?

You will be encouraged to have a positive work-life balance. Our hybrid-first way of working means we embed hybrid working in all that we do and make flexible working arrangements the day-to-day reality for our people. All UK employees are eligible to request flexible working arrangements.


You will be empowered to explore, innovate, and progress. You will benefit from Capgemini’s ‘learning for life’ mindset, meaning you will have countless training and development opportunities from thinktanks to hackathons, and access to 250,000 courses with numerous external certifications from AWS, Microsoft, Harvard ManageMentor, Cybersecurity qualifications and much more.

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.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

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.
