Machine Learning Engineer Jobs in Edinburgh

Edinburgh has a disproportionately large tech and finance scene for its size — Skyscanner, FanDuel, Smart and the Royal Bank of Scotland all hire heavily here. The university's informatics graduates feed a strong ML/data ecosystem, and pay is competitive with Manchester for senior roles.

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+.
