At Reach Industries, we believe that scientists are solving some of the world's most pressing challenges, from combating climate change to developing vaccines and new treatments for diseases yet their tools are still poor. Our AI powered software platform, Lumi, automates operational data capture, insights and processes in labs, augmenting scientists so they can focus on the more creative aspects of their work. Lumi is versatile and is being applied across a wide range of life science industries, including in biotech and pharma.
We are a startup where the early team have a strong background in various frontier technologies and a deep love for making science better. We’ve already shipped a first version of the Lumi platform and we’ve received excellent feedback from early customers. We have very ambitious plans for Lumi ahead, so now we’re looking for a Senior AI Engineer to join our growing team and make an impact!

Important Note on Working Model and Eligibility
Our "remote-first hybrid" approach emphasizes the flexibility and autonomy of remote work, allowing our team to maintain a healthy work-life balance. However, the collaborative nature of our projects occasionally necessitates in-person interactions, especially for tasks that benefit from face-to-face communication or aren't as effective over virtual platforms. As such, while a significant portion of your work will be remote, expect to be present at our Bristol office around once a week or more frequently during key project phases. Additionally, due to the logistical and legal considerations of our hiring process, all applicants must possess the unequivocal legal right to work in the UK without the need for visa sponsorship.
