A well-funded, high-growth tech company is building the next generation of AI-powered automation tools—reimagining how complex, manual work gets done in the financial services world and beyond. They’re now looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help design and build intelligent systems that make that future a reality.
This is a full-time hybrid role, based in the Nottingham area, with regular in-office collaboration.
Salary: £60,000 - £75,000
The Role
You'll be a key member of the engineering team, focused on building LLM-driven features, intelligent agents, and ML-powered backend systems that automate and optimise intricate workflows. It’s an ideal role for someone with strong backend/ML experience who wants to work on cutting-edge AI applications in a production environment.
You’ll work in a fast-paced R&D setting, collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to bring ambitious ideas to life—balancing innovation with real-world delivery.
What You’ll Be Doing
* Design, build, and deploy ML-powered features, agents, and APIs to automate unstructured tasks
* Build production-level backend and microservices in Python and TypeScript
* Work with product and engineering teams to shape models, services, and system behaviour
* Contribute to system architecture and infrastructure for scale, observability, and performance
* Explore and implement LLMs, prompt engineering, and AI orchestration frameworks
* Take ownership of features end-to-end, from design to deployment and monitoring
What They’re Looking For
* 8+ years of software engineering experience, with strong ML or backend focus
* Proficiency in Python and/or TypeScript, and experience with production-grade systems
* Familiarity with LLMs, AI agents, or orchestration frameworks (OpenAI, Anthropic, LangChain, etc.)
* Strong grasp of data modelling, cloud infrastructure (preferably AWS), and modern APIs
* Experience with relational and NoSQL databases (e.g. PostgreSQL, MongoDB)
* Problem-solver who can reason about complex systems and deliver clean, scalable code
* Excellent communication skills and ability to collaborate across technical and non-technical teams
Nice to Have
* Hands-on experience with agentic workflows or autonomous AI systems
* Background in data engineering or database architecture
* Side projects, open-source contributions, or hobbyist builds involving AI/ML
* Interest in rapid prototyping, automation, and cutting-edge AI tooling
What’s on Offer
* Competitive salary with equity/options available
* Hybrid working from a base in the East Midlands, with in-office collaboration
* Work on cutting-edge AI challenges with real-world impact
* Join a high-performing, ambitious team backed by leading investors
* Opportunity to shape intelligent products from the ground up
This is a great opportunity for a machine learning engineer or backend AI developer who wants to work on high-impact, production-ready AI tools at the edge of innovation.
