A venture-backed AI company is expanding its engineering group and looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to help push forward a new generation of decision-support products used in complex, data-heavy environments.

The team builds systems that analyse large, unstructured datasets and surface insights that help organisations make high-stakes choices more consistently. Youll join a small group of engineers and researchers working on applied ML problems that combine pattern recognition, anomaly detection, language modelling and real-time data interpretation.

This is a hands-on engineering role where youll prototype, train, evaluate and productionise models that directly shape the product experience.

What youll work on

• Designing and implementing ML pipelines for processing a wide variety of semi-structured inputs.
• Training and adapting large language models to handle classification, extraction and reasoning tasks.
• Developing methods to identify irregularities, inconsistencies and unusual patterns within customer-supplied data.
• Improving the performance, latency and reliability of deployed models at scale.
• Collaborating with software engineers to integrate new capabilities into customer-facing features.
• Exploring new approaches in multimodal modelling, retrieval-augmented generation and adaptive learning systems.
