The Role
I'm working with a well-funded, stealth AI company building a next-generation AI assistant designed to help people manage everyday tasks, conversations and workflows.

The product is still pre-launch, making this a genuine 0?1 opportunity to join a small, high-calibre engineering team and build the machine learning systems that will power the product from day one.

They're hiring across multiple levels, from Senior through to Staff Machine Learning Engineers.

  • Turn research into reliable, production-ready ML solutions
  • Optimise models for performance, latency, scalability and cost
  • Build robust training and inference pipelines
  • Debug complex production issues using real-world data and signals
  • Mentor engineers and help drive engineering standards across the ML function


Key Requirements

  • Commercial experience building and deploying production ML systems
  • Strong Python software engineering skills
  • Experience training, fine-tuning or deploying modern machine learning models
  • Strong experience with PyTorch and/or JAX
  • Experience building scalable ML infrastructure and inference pipelines
  • Comfortable owning projects end-to-end in fast-moving environments
  • Previous mentoring or technical leadership experience would be advantageous


Tech Stack
Python * PyTorch * JAX * GPU Training * LLMs * Modern ML Infrastructure
