About the Opportunity

Intellect Group is actively recruiting Graduate Machine Learning Engineers on behalf of high-growth technology and AI-first companies across the UK. If you've recently completed a degree in ML, Computer Science, or a related field and want to build real-world machine learning systems from day one, we want to hear from you.

We work with a range of exciting clients — from funded AI startups to established tech businesses — who are hiring junior ML talent right now. This is your chance to get in early, grow fast, and work on problems that matter.

What You'll Be Doing

• Designing, building, and deploying machine learning models into production environments
• Working with LLMs, NLP, and deep learning frameworks to solve real business problems
• Collaborating with data scientists and engineers to develop end-to-end ML pipelines
• Experimenting with model fine-tuning, RAG, and prompt engineering techniques
• Contributing to model evaluation, testing, and continuous improvement
• Staying current with the latest ML research and translating it into practical applications

What We're Looking For

• A degree (or Master's) in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Mathematics, or a related discipline
• Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face
• Understanding of core ML concepts: neural networks, transformers, classification, regression, and model evaluation
• Some exposure to LLMs, generative AI, or NLP — whether through coursework, projects, or personal work
• Curiosity, a problem-solving mindset, and genuine enthusiasm for ML
• Strong communication skills — you can explain what you've built and why it matters

Bonus Points For

• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
• Familiarity with vector databases, embeddings, or RAG pipelines
• Any open-source contributions, Kaggle competitions, or personal ML projects
• Exposure to MLOps tools and deployment workflows (Docker, FastAPI, etc.)

What's on Offer

• £35,000 – £45,000 base salary depending on experience
• Roles across London and hybrid-friendly companies
• Fast-moving environments where your work has real impact from the start
• Clear career progression into mid-level and senior ML engineering roles
