Research Engineer - Machine Learning & Generative AI
12-month contract | £64,000-£71,000 | London | Hybrid - 3 days onsite
We're hiring a Research Engineer to join a world-leading technology organisation working at the forefront of AI and machine learning research. This is a rare opportunity to be deeply embedded within a research team, contributing directly to cutting-edge work around large AI models, reinforcement learning, synthetic data and multi-agent systems.
You'll combine hands-on engineering with research, building and experimenting with ML systems, developing robust research infrastructure and working alongside researchers on complex, rapidly evolving problems.
Non negotiable skills:
2+ years' hands-on Machine Learning/AI experience - including ML, artificial intelligence, recommendation systems or pattern recognition.
Strong Python programming skills
Experience developing ML models at scale, ideally gained within a major technology company, AI research lab or similarly sophisticated environment.
Experience running complex experiments with large AI models and datasets.
Strong understanding of the scientific/research process and the ability to investigate why approaches succeed or fail.
Comfortable operating in a fast-moving, highly ambiguous research environment where priorities can change quickly.
Experience with PyTorch, LLMs, LLM post-training, reinforcement learning, generative AI or multi-agent systems would be particularly valuable. A research-focused Master's or PhD in ML/AI is advantageous but not essential.
Deadline for this role is Monday the 14th of December, apply today!
