Machine Learning Engineer – LLMs

Want to build LLM-powered systems that have to work reliably in the real world?


We’re looking for an exceptional Machine Learning Engineer to help build and deploy production-grade AI systems, with a particular focus on LLMs and modern generative AI.


This isn’t a research-only role. You’ll work across models, data, evaluation and production systems - turning the latest advances in AI into reliable, high-impact products.


What you’ll do

  • Build and ship LLM-powered features and systems into production
  • Design robust evaluation frameworks to measure and improve model performance
  • Experiment with prompting, fine-tuning, retrieval and agentic approaches
  • Build data and ML pipelines that support rapid experimentation at scale
  • Optimise models and inference for latency, reliability and cost
  • Work closely with software, product and domain experts to solve difficult real-world problems
  • Help shape the company’s ML architecture, tooling and technical direction


You’ll ideally bring:

  • Excellent Python and software engineering skills
  • Strong experience with PyTorch and modern ML tooling
  • Hands-on experience building applications with LLMs
  • A strong understanding of transformers, embeddings and modern NLP
  • Experience with LLM evaluation, fine-tuning, RAG and/or agentic systems
  • Experience taking ML models from experimentation through to production
  • Strong judgement around model quality, data, performance and trade-offs


What’s on offer

  • Competitive salary + equity
  • 7% pension
  • Private healthcare
  • Free daily meals
  • Significant technical ownership from day one
  • The opportunity to build cutting-edge AI that gets deployed in the real world


You’ll need the right to work in the UK and be eligible for UK SC clearance. This is an office-first role, with flexibility when needed.
