About the Role
As one of the founding members of the AI team, you’ll play a pivotal role in defining and driving the scientific and research direction of cutting-edge AI systems. This is an end-to-end engineering position where you’ll design, develop, and deliver innovative solutions across multiple domains, including:
* Retrieval and knowledge-base systems
* Reasoning models
* Models that interpret live information on-screen or from other applications
You will work closely with cross-functional teams to tackle complex challenges, ensuring that your contributions not only advance state-of-the-art technologies but also translate into real-world user-facing applications.
This role demands someone who is technically exceptional, scientifically curious, and eager to learn quickly in a dynamic environment. You’ll be expected to stay ahead of the curve by keeping up with advancements in NLP, vision, and related fields while identifying new opportunities to innovate.
Why You’ll Love This Role
If any of the following resonate with you, this could be your dream job:
* Solving highly challenging technical and research-level problems excites you.
* You enjoy owning projects end-to-end—from hypothesis formation and experimentation to delivering polished, scalable products.
* Staying current with the latest developments in AI/ML research (e.g., NLP, vision) energizes you.
* Tackling unforeseen technical hurdles across the product lifecycle motivates you.
* Pushing beyond your comfort zone to maximize your potential is something you actively seek.
What We’re Looking For
To succeed in this role, you should have:
* 3+ years of experience working on similar AI/ML projects, either in academia or industry.
* A proven track record of solving complex problems using both scientific rigor (forming and testing hypotheses) and robust engineering practices (building scalable systems).
* Hands-on experience with NLP, LLMs, or other AI/ML technologies.
* Strong programming skills, particularly in Python.
* Familiarity with cloud infrastructure providers and database technologies (e.g., SQL, NoSQL).
* The ability to self-organize, prioritize tasks, and work independently in a fast-moving startup environment.
* Willingness to be based in London (visa sponsorship is available).
Nice-to-Haves
While not mandatory, these qualities would make you stand out:
* An exceptional academic background in computer science, machine learning, statistics, physics, mathematics, or a related field.
* Deep expertise in advanced ML concepts, algorithms, or frameworks.
* Some experience with Rust or C++.
* Contributions to open-source projects, side projects, or communities like Stack Exchange.
