Questions about these roles
How many remote lead and principal Machine Learning jobs in the UK are there right now?
We are tracking 90 live vacancies across 24 employers. The crawler revisits employer careers pages continuously and roles disappear from this page as soon as they come down, so the count reflects what is genuinely open today.
What do remote lead and principal Machine Learning jobs in the UK pay?
The median advertised ceiling is £150,000, based on the 8 of these roles that publish a figure. The middle half of the market runs from £123,000 to £150,000. Contract day rates are annualised so they compare against permanent salaries.
Are these contract or permanent roles?
Every role here that states a basis is permanent. Contract vacancies are listed separately.
Which employers are hiring?
The most active right now are Monzo, Pubmatic, Remotefriendly, Timesm and Plaid. Every vacancy links straight to that employer's own careers page — we are an aggregator, not the hiring company, and there is no middleman between you and the application.
What other skills do these roles ask for?
Most often C++, Python, Java, C# and React. That is counted from the live adverts on this page rather than a fixed list, so it tracks what employers are asking for this month.
How much does a Machine Learning developer earn in the UK?
£150,000 is the middle of what is advertised here, which is 173% above the £55,000 median across UK IT as a whole. Read it as the ceiling an employer is advertising towards rather than an offer: 82 of these adverts name no figure at all, and those are the ones where asking early is worth most.
Are there entry-level or graduate Machine Learning developer jobs in the UK?
Not right now — every live advert here signals mid-level experience or above. Graduate intakes are seasonal, so this is worth checking again rather than reading as a permanent state of the market.
What job titles are used for this role?
Employers on this page advertise it as Manager, Security Operations, Manager, Software Engineering - AI Product (London, United Kingdom), Manager, Software Engineering - Billing, Manager, Software Engineering - Data Platform and Manager, Software Engineering - DevEx AI Tools. Searching one wording and not another is the most common way people miss vacancies, which is why this page groups them.
