A leading UK national security-focused technology organisation is seeking a
Senior Machine Learning Engineer
to join its AI team. You will design, develop, and deploy ML models and LLM/GenAI solutions to solve real-world national security challenges. This is a highly innovative, collaborative, and impactful environment where you will apply cutting-edge machine learning methods to unique datasets.
Key responsibilities:
Lead and contribute to ML projects, including forecasting, classification, anomaly detection, and LLM/GenAI applications. Design experiments, formulate hypotheses, evaluate results, and iterate rapidly to validate approaches. Transition experimental models into production-ready solutions, collaborating with engineers on deployment, monitoring, and optimisation. Build and maintain ML pipelines using AWS services and modern MLOps/LLMOps tooling. Implement robust versioning, experiment tracking, and reproducibility practices. Mentor junior engineers and contribute to team-wide AI knowledge sharing. Communicate complex technical concepts to both technical and non-technical stakeholders. Ideal candidate:
BSc, MSc, or PhD in a quantitative discipline (e.g., Maths, Physics, Computer Science). 4-5 years' experience in ML/AI engineering or data science roles (senior level). Hands-on experience with Python ML frameworks (scikit-learn, PyTorch, TensorFlow, XGBoost). Experience with AWS ML services (SageMaker, Lambda, S3) and MLOps/LLMOps tooling (MLflow, Weights & Biases, DVC). Proven track record transitioning models from experimentation to production with governance and quality controls. Experience developing LLM/GenAI solutions and familiarity with LLMOps tools. Strong problem-solving, communication, and project delivery skills. Eligible for UK DV security clearance; candidates without clearance must be able to undergo the process. Why this role is unique:
Work on national security projects with niche datasets unavailable elsewhere. Influence AI adoption from the ground floor for high-profile government clients. Join a collaborative team of over 4,000 digital, cyber, and intelligence specialists across multiple locations. Hybrid working flexibility, generous benefits, career development support, and a culture valuing diversity and inclusion. For further information, feel free to reach me at
