Our people. It’s the curiosity, dedication, and innovation that drive our success and help us anticipate the future.

Applied Scientist I to design and train cutting-edge machine learning solutions related to digital identities. Join our team and work on challenging problems in deepfake detection, bias mitigation, document understanding, anomaly detection and/or efficient ML.

About the Team:

You'll be joining the team leading Entrust's Identity portfolio, formerly known as Onfido (an AI- powered digital identity solution). Our technology helps businesses verify real identities using machine learning, ensuring secure remote customer onboarding. By assessing government- issued identity documents and facial biometrics using state-of-the-art machine learning, we provide companies with the assurance they need to operate securely while allowing people to access services quickly and safely.

Our Applied Scientist team consists of about twenty machine learning scientists. The team is supported by an ML Ops team that provides state-of-the-art tooling (including AWS, Encord, Ray, PyTorch Lightning and Weights & Biases). The Applied Science team works closely with product engineering to deploy models to serve our worldwide customer base.

Position Overview:

We are looking for a Applied Scientist Ito design and train cutting-edge machine learning solutions related to digital identities. Join our team and work on challenging problems in deepfake detection, bias mitigation, document understanding, anomaly detection and/or efficient ML.

What you will be doing:

  • Push the frontier of research in areas such as deepfake detection, bias mitigation, fraud/anomaly detection, face matching, document understanding, and efficient on-device ML.

  • Publish research results in national and international conferences and scientific journals.

  • Work with product and engineering to improve our world-class identity-focused products.

Representative work:

  • Implement bias-mitigation strategies to build fair face-matching and deepfake-detection models.

  • Train and benchmark large-scale vision-language models for document extraction. Train a multi-modal document understanding model from scratch using synthetic data.

  • Optimise LoRA adapter latency in PEFT/Triton.

  • Profile, debug and improve model training speed on multiple GPUs.

  • Create a large-scale dataset for deepfake detection.

  • Experiment with multimodal models to detect fraud.

You may be a good fit if you:

  • Have strong experience in machine learning and computer vision.

  • Have a strong record of successfully delivering high-performance ML-driven products.

  • Have a deep understanding of machine learning theory.

  • Have strong coding skills in Python and PyTorch.

  • Care about building fair and cutting-edge machine learning products.

Strong candidates may also have:

  • Technical experience in one or more of the following areas: face matching, bias mitigation, anomaly detection, document understanding or on-device ML.

  • Published at top-level machine learning conferences.

  • Experience optimising (distributed) training code.

Location:

  • London, hybrid: 3 days per week in office.

Where to Advertise AI Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising AI jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly informed and in demand across multiple sectors simultaneously. General job boards reach a broad audience but lack the specificity that AI professionals expect — and the filtering mechanisms they rely on. Specialist platforms, direct outreach and academic channels each serve a different part of the market. This guide, published by ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise AI roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about time-to-hire across different role types.

New AI Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Reshaping AI Careers

The artificial intelligence job market in the UK is evolving at an extraordinary pace. With record-breaking investment, government backing, and a surge in enterprise adoption, the landscape of AI employers is shifting rapidly. For candidates exploring opportunities on ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, understanding who is hiring next is just as important as understanding what skills are in demand. In this article, we explore the new and emerging AI employers to watch in 2026, focusing on organisations that have recently secured funding, won major contracts, or expanded their UK footprint. From cutting-edge startups to global giants doubling down on Britain, these companies represent the next wave of AI career opportunities.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.
