Job description

Step into this Machine Learning Software Engineer role and build something that matters in AI & Technology.

Scotland’s AI sector has grown fast, and the firms doing the interesting work tend to be the mid-sized ones, not the giants. This is one of them: an established AI & Technology company based in Glasgow, big enough to have real infrastructure and client relationships, small enough that your code ships without six layers of sign-off. They’re growing deliberately, not scrambling, and they need a Machine Learning Software Engineer who wants to build production systems rather than just tinker with notebooks.

Here’s what you’ll be doing:

• Design and build machine learning pipelines that go into production, not just proof-of-concept demos
• Write clean, maintainable Python code that other engineers can actually work with
• Take models from research through to deployment, then keep an eye on how they perform once they’re live
• Work with data engineers and product teams to turn vague requirements into working systems
• Debug model drift, data quality issues, and the inevitable gap between training and reality
• Document your approach clearly enough that someone else can pick it up in six months

Here are the skills you’ll need:

• Solid commercial experience building and deploying machine learning models, ideally 3+ years
• Strong Python skills, with working knowledge of frameworks like PyTorch or TensorFlow
• Comfort with MLOps practices: versioning, monitoring, CI/CD for models, not just scripts that run once
• Understanding of cloud infrastructure (AWS, Azure or GCP) and how ML workloads actually run on it
• The ability to explain technical trade-offs to people who aren’t engineers
• A pragmatic streak. Perfect models that never ship help nobody

Key perks and benefits:

• Salary of £45,500 to £70,000, depending on experience
• Private medical insurance and pension contribution
• Hybrid working, with flexibility built in rather than bolted on
• Bonus scheme tied to company and individual performance
• Annual leave that respects the fact you have a life outside work

Why pursue a career in AI & Technology?

AI & Technology isn’t slowing down, and Glasgow has quietly become one of the better UK cities to build a career in it, with a growing cluster of serious employers and a lower cost of living than London. A Machine Learning Software Engineer who can actually ship working systems will always be in demand. The skills compound too: every model you take to production makes the next one easier.

This Machine Learning Software Engineer opportunity in Glasgow is brought to you by The Opportunity Hub UK.
