Machine Learning Engineer

Machine Learning Engineers - tired of building LLM wrappers? I'm working with a well-funded, VC-backed defence AI start-up that's tackling some genuinely difficult problems in machine learning. Think LLMs, autonomous agents, deep learning and intelligent systems operating in the real world. Not another chatbot. Not another API integration. This is an opportunity to build AI systems where performance, reasoning, reliability and efficiency really matter. 🧠 What makes this interesting? → Building intelligent agents capable of reasoning, planning and making decisions. → Working with advanced deep learning, multimodal models and real-world sensor data. → Training, fine-tuning and optimising models rather than simply consuming APIs. → Taking cutting-edge ML research into production. → Solving complex technical problems alongside highly capable engineers and researchers. Who am I looking for? Engineers with strong foundations in machine learning, deep learning and Python, ideally with experience in PyTorch or JAX. You might come from an AI research lab, a high-performance engineering team, an autonomous systems company or a technically ambitious start-up. A PhD or top-tier research publications are a bonus, not a requirement. What matters most is your ability to solve difficult ML problems and build systems that actually work. 📍 UK | Office-first with flexibility 🔒 UK right to work and SC clearance eligibility required.
