Remote (UK) | £55,000 – £70,000 DOE | Full-time, 9am–5pm (occasional global sessions)

Join a world-leading digital educator shaping the next generation of Machine Learning Engineers.

We're looking for an experienced Senior AI & Machine Learning Instructor to support delivery across the Machine Learning Engineer (Level 6) Apprenticeship and wider commercial programmes.

If you're a passionate technologist who loves bringing complex ML concepts to life — from maths foundations to real-world deployment — this is your chance to make a real impact.

What you'll do

You'll play a key role in helping learners and professionals build deep, practical ML capability. Day-to-day, you'll:

? Deliver engaging teaching sessions covering the full ML lifecycle — data prep, model training, evaluation, deployment and monitoring at scale.
? Explain the maths behind ML models (linear algebra, calculus, probability, stats) in an accessible, engaging way.
? Support learners throughout their apprenticeship journey alongside Learner Success Coaches.
? Contribute to content and product development — creating learning materials, labs and workshops.
? Work closely with the Product and AI teams to grow the AI learning portfolio across apprenticeships, upskilling and reskilling.
? Ensure all delivery meets the standards expected by Ofsted, ESFA and other awarding bodies.

What we're looking for

You'll need to bring:

Strong industry experience in end-to-end ML projects — from data wrangling and model building to deployment and monitoring.
Confident teaching ability — whether you've formally taught, mentored or coached technical teams.
Mathematical depth — clear understanding of the theory behind ML algorithms.
Practical knowledge of tools like FastAPI, MLflow, Docker, and cloud environments (AWS/Azure/GCP).
Excellent communication — able to simplify complex technical ideas for learners of mixed ability.

Bonus points for:

• Experience with NLP/LLMs, Computer Vision or Generative AI

• Formal teaching qualification or EPA assessor experience

• Hands-on exposure to responsible AI or prompt engineering

Why join?

You'll be part of a mission-driven organisation known for making cutting-edge technology understandable and exciting.

Learning culture: Dedicated learning calendar and quarterly reviews to help you grow.
? 33 days annual leave (plus office closure over Christmas).
Flexible, remote-first setup with access to modern WeWork offices in London.
Private healthcare, dental and vision cover.
?? Travel insurance, pension contributions and wellbeing support.
Monthly team lunches and regular social events.
Laptop & full virtual setup provided.

You're a passionate technologist who:

• Has 2+ years' experience in Data Science, Machine Learning or a similar role

• Loves teaching and seeing learners develop

• Thrives in a collaborative, innovative environment

• Is eager to continuously learn and improve
