Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in Belfast

Belfast's tech market has grown substantially via the Northern Ireland tech corridor — Citi, Allstate, FinTrU, Liberty IT and a strong cyber-security cluster. Pay sits around 70–75% of London but the differential narrows once cost-of-living is factored in.

ML engineering hiring in the UK and EU has shifted heavily toward LLM applications since 2023 — RAG, agents, evals, fine-tuning. Foundation-model labs (Mistral AI, Cohere, Stability) and applied teams (Snyk, Wise) compete for the same talent. Pay top-of-market for senior roles is £140k+.
