Research Engineer (Senior and Lead)
London (4/5 days a week on-site)
Up to £200k + equity
* 2 x Senior and 1 x Lead Research Engineer position available.
* London based AI startup with Series A lined up for 2025.
* Opportunity to work on one of the most important and impactful challenges of our time.
I’m supporting a well-funded AI startup in London who are looking to add multiple Research Engineers to join an already hugely impressive and talented team.
They're in a position to hire one Lead Research Engineer and 1-2 Senior Research Engineers. The salary is flexible with the ~£200k reserved for the Lead position. For the senior roles, you’ll need at least two years of commercial experience (ideally at a leading AI Lab) after completing your PhD or MSc.
The roles aren’t purely research focused so you will need to demonstrate strong ML engineering skills and an ability to build scalable systems.
You’ll be tasked with:
* Developing, training and fine-tuning LLMs as evaluators.
* Constructing safety guardrails.
* Designing evaluation tools and metrics for assessing model alignment, safety, and performance.
* Contributing to AI safety research through the development of frameworks and sharing insights in industry-leading publications.
Essential experience:
* Experience working at a well respected AI research lab.
* Published papers in the domain of LLMs and have multiple publications in top conferences - ICML, NeurIPS, CVPR etc.
* Degree from a top university (Oxford, Cambridge, Harvard, MIT etc).
* Preference for people with experience in scalable oversight, alignment, RLHF, deep reinforcement learning, or AI evaluations.
This company is operating more or less full-time from the office (Zone 1 London) so you will need to be willing to be on-site a minimum of four days a week.
