Machine Learning Engineer (Computer Vision)

Location: Surrey or Bristol (hybrid/remote options considered)

Type: Permanent (full-time)

Team: AI / Computer Vision

Visa: Unfortunately, visa sponsorship is not available for this role.

About the Company

We're a UK-based technology business building AI-led vision systems that turn image and video streams into automated, real-time insight. Our products are used in operational environments where speed, reliability, and accurate detection matter-helping teams monitor large areas and respond quickly when something changes.

The Role

We're looking for a Machine Learning / Computer Vision Engineer to help tackle challenging real-world problems using modern deep learning. You'll work closely with a multidisciplinary team to develop, productionise, and deploy computer vision models that run reliably across cloud and edge environments.

What You'll Be Doing

Build, test, and improve production-grade deep learning models for computer vision tasks (classification, detection, segmentation, tracking)

Optimise and deploy CV/ML pipelines to cloud and edge platforms

Design, curate, and manage image/video datasets for training and evaluation

Develop and maintain annotation workflows and tooling

Create synthetic data pipelines (including generative approaches) to augment real-world datasets

Stay current with emerging tools, methods, and best practices in CV/ML

What We're Looking For

Degree in Computer Science, Electrical Engineering, Robotics (or similar), or equivalent commercial experience

Proven experience delivering deep learning solutions for core CV tasks (classification / detection / segmentation / tracking)

Strong skills with PyTorch (or similar) and CV libraries such as OpenCV / scikit-image

Strong, production-ready Python engineering (version control, testing, code reviews)

Analytical mindset with strong problem-solving ability

Clear communicator who works well in a collaborative team

Nice to Have

Experience with real-world sensor data (e.g., RGB-D, thermal, radar)

Model optimisation/deployment tooling (ONNX, TensorRT)

Edge deployment experience (e.g., NVIDIA Jetson or other resource-constrained devices)

Familiarity with MLOps tooling (e.g., DVC, MLflow)

Relevant open-source contributions in computer vision

Where to Advertise Data Science Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise data science jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, communities and channels that actually reach senior and lead data science talent. Data science spans a broad and often misunderstood spectrum — from statistical modelling and experimental design through to machine learning engineering, product analytics and AI research. The strongest candidates identify firmly with specific subdisciplines and are frustrated by adverts that conflate data scientist with data analyst, business intelligence developer or machine learning engineer. General job boards produce high application volumes for data roles but consistently fail to match specialist data science profiles with the right opportunities. This guide, published by DataScienceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise data science roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Data Science Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the trends shaping UK data science hiring over the next three years — from MLE crossover to GenAI workflows. Data science has spent the past decade being described as the sexiest job of the twenty-first century. By 2026, the reality is both more nuanced and more interesting than that label ever suggested. The discipline has matured, fragmented, deepened, and in some respects reinvented itself — and the jobs market has changed with it in ways that create genuine opportunity for those who understand what employers actually want, and genuine difficulty for those still operating on assumptions formed five years ago. The data science jobs market of 2026 is not simply a larger version of what it was three years ago. The generalist data scientist — equally comfortable wrangling data, building models, and presenting insights to the board — is giving way to a more specialised landscape where employers know exactly what problem they are trying to solve and are looking for candidates with the specific depth to solve it. Machine learning engineering, causal inference, experimentation, AI product development, and domain-specific applied science have all emerged as distinct career tracks within what was previously a single, loosely defined profession. At the same time, the arrival of large language models and the broader AI capability wave has both threatened and created data science roles in equal measure. Some of the work that junior data scientists spent their early careers doing — data cleaning, exploratory analysis, basic model building — is being partially automated by AI tooling. But the demand for practitioners who can evaluate AI systems rigorously, apply statistical thinking to complex business problems, and build the data foundations on which AI depends has grown considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what data scientists are expected to build and know, and how to position a data science career that will remain valuable as the field continues to evolve around them. This article breaks down what the UK data science jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
