The Challenge: 80 Hours or 1 Hour?

Advanced 3D microscopes generate terabytes of data daily, with a single scan taking over 80 hours to analyze. This massive data bottleneck is holding back critical research into cancer, Alzheimer's, and other diseases. At Dataflight, we're breaking that barrier. Our core technology, the Adaptive Particle Representation (APR), cuts data size and processing time by over 10x, turning an 80-hour problem into a 1-hour one.

We are building the world's first agent-first data platform to unlock the full potential of 3D imaging-based discovery. We're looking for a pioneering AI Engineer to join us as employee #3 and lead the creation of intelligent agents that can see, reason about, and interact with complex biological data.

What You'll Do

  • Pioneer Agentic AI: Own and lead the development of all AI-driven features, from internal automations to powerful user-facing tools.
  • Explore & Prototype: Work directly with the founders in a fast-paced environment to rapidly build and test proofs-of-concept for new use-cases.
  • Build & Deploy: Take successful prototypes and transform them into robust, production-ready services integrated into our cloud platform.
  • Shape the Product: Go beyond the code to contribute to product strategy, user experience, and the technical roadmap, ensuring we're building what matters.
  • Drive Innovation: Stay at the cutting edge of the AI landscape and champion the integration of new, state-of-the-art technologies into our platform.

Who You Are

  • An Agent Architect: You've gone beyond simple API calls. You have demonstrable experience designing, building, and deploying sophisticated agent-based systems or complex LLM-powered applications. You think deeply about agent reliability, tool use, and reasoning.
  • A "Get Shit Done" Pioneer: You are a highly independent and resourceful engineer who thrives in the ambiguity of a startup. You can take a visionary goal and drive it from concept to a deployed, high-quality product.
  • A Curious Innovator: You're excited by the challenge of applying cutting-edge AI to a completely new domain. You dream about what's possible and have the skills to build it.
  • A Strong Python Engineer: You have deep expertise in Python and the modern AI stack (e.g., PyTorch, LangChain/LlamaIndex, etc.).
  • Bonus Points: You have experience with computer vision (CNNs/ViT), C++, ML tranining, scientific or cloud computing, web-app development (JS), back-end development, WASM, 3D bio-imaging, or have worked with large-scale, multi-modal data.

Why Join Dataflight? A Unique Founding Opportunity.

  • Define the Future as Employee #3: You will be a foundational pillar of our company. You'll have unparalleled influence, autonomy, and the opportunity to shape our product, culture, and technical direction from the ground up.
  • Join a Deeply Technical & Experienced Team: Our co-founders have over a decade of experience in this space, with a proven track record in previous startups, building cloud SaaS products, and deep expertise across software engineering and machine learning.
  • Solve a Problem That Matters: Your work will directly accelerate research into curing diseases. You'll build the tools that help scientists make discoveries that were previously impossible.
  • Career-Defining Work: The systems you build will be novel and at the cutting-edge of applied AI. This is an opportunity to do career-defining work and become a recognized leader in the application of AI to scientific discovery.
  • Well-Funded & Supported: We are backed by Innovate UK smart grant and seed investment from the Wyss Center for Bio and Neuroengineering, giving us a solid runway to achieve our ambitious vision.

Ready to Build the Future?

If you're an ambitious AI Engineer excited by this challenge, we would love to hear from you.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
