SENIOR SOFTWARE ENGINEER - AEROSPACE AND DEFENSE:


Bullisher is a data-centric fintech solution provider in the aerospace and defense industry for institutional level investors, looking to disrupt and revolutionize a $3 trillion industry. We spearhead an industry-leading Blackbox to facilitate and administer trade agreements, driven by our new generation benchmark delivering solutions through innovation with uncompromising agility. We predict trends in the aerospace and government defense entities and aim to influence actual changes in government policies through innovation.


JOB DESCRIPTION:


As a newly created role for a team of four, you will integrate large-scale data preprocessing with machine learning, transparent integration, and the use of data structures and algorithms, enabling training models leveraging a distributed in-memory machine learning platform. Areas to cover will include analytics engines for large-scale data processing. You will demonstrate model training together with hyper-parameter tuning (Random Grid-Search with time constraint) of various algorithms using AutoML-training meta model combining different algorithms. You will demonstrate target encoding by using Bullisher API documentation, the dashboard, analytics, configuration, and application health. We are a startup enhancing the formation to early stages of a product development project. The oversight requires you to deploy trained models into production, expedite a branch deployment, and design, deploy, and operate a full-stack system. Areas to improve will include replacing existing workflows with advanced machine learning algorithms, including NLP and ensemble methods using powerful data munging, ML pipelines with advanced algorithms fully deployed for speed and accuracy with graphical user interface (GUI). You will also participate in software development meetings with the CEO, CTO, CIO, V.P of Data Processing and Governance, and V.P of Software Engineering and Advanced Analytics to determine technical requirements and will undergo a formal approval, review, and voting by representatives for security impact analysis (the Change Approval Board).

  • A proven record of implementation of method transformers.
  • The technical ability to convert one data-frame into a tokenizer.
  • Proficiently fitting implementing methods that accept data-frames and produce models into transformers.
  • In-depth knowledge of deployment of chains, multiple transformers, and estimators to create ML workflow.
  • Develop detailed analyses repeatedly evaluating different features in engineering steps, algorithms, hyper-parameters, train original datasets, and cross-validation.
  • Superior ability to build and execute specifying a list of learning models combined into a powerful meta-learning model.
  • Solid experience with specifying a mechanism of converting categorical features to continuous features based on the mean calculated values of the targeted labels column and running it through the pipeline model.


PHYSICAL DEMANDS:This position requires the ability to communicate and exchange information and utilize equipment necessary to perform the job.

Where to Advertise Space Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Where to advertise space jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards, agency channels and community routes that reach satellite, propulsion and launch talent. The candidate pool spans satellite engineers, propulsion specialists, mission analysts, ground segment software developers, space systems architects and commercial space professionals — a highly specific multidisciplinary community that general job boards are poorly equipped to reach. The strongest space candidates are often embedded in ESA programmes, academic research groups, UK Space Agency-funded projects or established primes, and move between roles through sector-specific networks, industry bodies and conference communities rather than mainstream platforms. This guide, published by UKSpaceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise space industry roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

Space Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Space Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the UK space sector hiring trends shaping satellites, launch, Earth observation and space data careers. The UK space sector is in the middle of something that feels genuinely historic. A combination of government commitment, private capital, and technological progress has transformed Britain's position in the global space economy from a capable but secondary player into a nation with serious sovereign ambitions — and a jobs market that is expanding to match them. This is not the space industry of previous generations, defined by a small number of government agencies, a handful of prime contractors, and career pathways accessible only to a narrow band of elite engineers and scientists. The new space economy is broader, faster-moving, and more commercially driven than anything the sector has previously seen. Satellite manufacturing has been democratised by small sat technology. Launch is becoming domestic. Space data is flowing into applications across agriculture, insurance, climate monitoring, maritime, and defence at a scale that is creating entirely new categories of commercial hiring. And the defence and national security dimensions of space have elevated the sector's strategic importance to a degree that is driving sustained public investment in the talent pipeline. For job seekers, the UK space jobs market of 2026 represents an opportunity that is both more accessible and more technically demanding than at any previous point. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the sector is heading — which programmes are moving from development into operation, which technologies are defining the architecture of modern space systems, and how the definition of a space career is expanding well beyond the spacecraft engineering core toward a much wider ecosystem of roles across the full space value chain. This article breaks down what the UK space jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career at the leading edge of one of the most exciting sectors in the UK economy.
