Hybrid – London (2 days per week onsite)

My client is looking for a Junior to Mid-Level Machine Learning Engineer to take ownership of the infrastructure and services that power machine learning systems in production. In this role, you’ll act as a bridge between data science and engineering, ensuring robust, scalable, and low-latency deployment of models that serve millions of requests per day.

You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining Python microservices, leveraging modern DevOps practices and tooling to support rapid, reliable delivery. With sub-second response times and a high-throughput environment (2M+ requests/day), this is a high-impact role that blends software engineering, DevOps, and MLOps at scale.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, develop, and maintain Python microservices for serving machine learning models

  • Collaborate with Data Scientists to deploy, monitor, and support models in production

  • Implement and manage CI/CD pipelines using Azure DevOps

  • Support containerized deployments with Kubernetes and Docker

  • Ensure high performance, fault-tolerant, and secure infrastructure

  • Promote code quality, testing standards, and scalable architecture

  • Proactively identify infrastructure improvements and lead implementation

    Requirements

  • 2 + years of experience in Software Engineering, DevOps, or Data Engineering

  • Strong Python skills with experience in microservices and web frameworks

  • Solid understanding of CI/CD, ideally using Azure DevOps

  • Familiarity with containerized environments (Docker/Kubernetes)

  • Exposure to Data Science or Machine Learning concepts

  • Experience operating in high-throughput environments

  • Independent, curious, and driven by continuous improvement

  • Effective communicator with the ability to bridge data science and engineering teams

    Why Join?

    You’ll be joining a company with strong business performance and ambitious plans for data-driven growth. This is a rare opportunity to take technical ownership of real-time machine learning infrastructure and play a key role in scaling systems that make an immediate business impact

How Many Data Science Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Data Science Job?

If you’re trying to break into data science — or progress your career — it can feel like you are drowning in names: Python, R, TensorFlow, PyTorch, SQL, Spark, AWS, Scikit-learn, Jupyter, Tableau, Power BI…the list just keeps going. With every job advert listing a different combination of tools, many applicants fall into a trap: they try to learn everything. The result? Long tool lists that sound impressive — but little depth to back them up. Here’s the straight-talk version most hiring managers won’t explicitly tell you: 👉 You don’t need to know every data science tool to get hired. 👉 You need to know the right ones — deeply — and know how to use them to solve real problems. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many data science tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the answer is not “27” — it’s more like 8–12, thoughtfully chosen and well understood. This guide explains what employers really value, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your toolbox so your CV and interviews shine.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Data Science Job Applications (UK Guide)

If you’re applying for data science roles in the UK, it’s crucial to understand what hiring managers focus on before they dive into your full CV. In competitive markets, recruiters and hiring managers often make their first decisions in the first 10–20 seconds of scanning an application — and in data science, there are specific signals they look for first. Data science isn’t just about coding or statistics — it’s about producing insights, shipping models, collaborating with teams, and solving real business problems. This guide helps you understand exactly what hiring managers look for first in data science applications — and how to structure your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you leap to the top of the shortlist.

The Skills Gap in Data Science Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Data science has become one of the most visible and sought-after careers in the UK technology market. From financial services and retail to healthcare, media, government and sport, organisations increasingly rely on data scientists to extract insight, guide decisions and build predictive models. Universities have responded quickly. Degrees in data science, analytics and artificial intelligence have expanded rapidly, and many computer science courses now include data-focused pathways. And yet, despite the volume of graduates entering the market, employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: Many data science candidates are not job-ready. Vacancies remain open. Hiring processes drag on. Candidates with impressive academic backgrounds fail interviews or struggle once hired. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university education and real-world data science roles. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they often miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in data science.
