Machine Learning Engineer

An AI-driven start-up, backed by $20M in Series A funding, is looking for its first Machine Learning Engineer to help scale their product and infrastructure. The platform transforms educational content into smart, personalised learning tools - and is already seeing rapid user growth and strong traction in the market.

This is a unique opportunity to join early, influence the technical roadmap, and work directly with experienced founders and a senior engineering team.

What you'll be doing:

  • Designing, building and deploying ML-powered features across a production platform

  • Working across Python and TypeScript, integrating models into scalable, real-time systems

  • Fine-tuning and training NLP models using techniques like transformers

  • Driving the machine learning strategy and building best practices from the ground up

  • Collaborating closely with product, engineering, and leadership

What we're looking for:
  • Strong commercial experience building and deploying ML models in production

  • Proficiency in Python and familiarity with TypeScript/JavaScript

  • Experience with NLP or recommendation systems is a bonus

  • Excited by start-ups: product-minded, hands-on, and motivated by impact

What's on offer:
  • £100,000 - £120,000 salary + meaningful equity

  • 4 days/week in a modern London office near Liverpool St

  • Greenfield ML ownership with direct access to founding team

  • A chance to shape the future of an AI product already loved by users
