Founding Engineer: Visual Synthesis and Generative Algorithms Atman Labs, London About Atman LabsAt Atman Labs we are building software to emulate proactive human expertise. Emulating true human intelligence and interaction with deep knowledge and proactive assistance has largely been impossible to do via standalone Artificial Intelligence techniques. Our unique research lies at the intersection of custom Reinforcement Learning environments, Large Scale Knowledge Representation, and Knowledge Presentation, is inspired by biological priors, and will be evolved and compounded with commercial application. We are deploying our platform in products across a number of commercial domains to demonstrate the value of our approach – starting with building proactive shopping concierges for e-commerce, to eventually launching products across travel, healthcare, education and more.The Next Frontier of Generative Models: Unlocking Human Engagement and New Consumer Behavior with Advanced Multi-Modal InteractionsWe are hiring for a research engineer responsible for implementing and fine-tuning an ensemble of state-of-the-art image generation models such as GANs, diffusion models, and text generation models like LLMs. Human imagination is critical as the connective tissue between stored knowledge in the brain and vocalization in speech, using media like language, art, and sound to share and receive ideas. Our intelligent agents have a number of ways they can interact with the world and other humans – they can imagine and communicate not just with language, but also by synthesizing immersive images that serve the task at hand.You will be responsible for the cutting edge deployment and fine-tuning of generation algorithms across multiple modalities: image, video, voice, and text. You will be familiar with ways that generative algorithms can be more performant and fine-tuned to specific knowledge and use cases. You will have technical experience or intuition to work with generative models with some understanding of the current state of the art across GANs, Diffusion models, NeRFs, Language and Visual Foundation Models, excited to imagine the cutting-edge of the interaction layer our agents have with the world.About YouWe are looking for ambitious and independent thinkers who have a deep desire to contribute and want to be part of the team that makes this a reality for humanity. You should have all of these qualities:You have a PhD in Computer Science or equivalent Industrial expertise or practical in the training, deployment, and fine-tuning of visual and language generative models, including GANs, NeRFs, diffusion models and LLMs.You have a strong creative imagination and high visual and linguistic editorial standards for presentation of generated objects, which complements your technical intuition. You are both a hacker and a painter.You are eager to process and analyze large amounts of multimodal data.You are intimately familiar with the nuances for fine-tuning generative models on knowledge, resolution, presentation, and computational efficiency across visual and language dimensions and are excited about deploying them into product experiences.You understand and can critically communicate about state-of-the art tools and frameworks to optimize model performance, including DeepSpeed, LoRA, 3D parallelism, or quantization.You have 7+ years of programming experience in Python and have development experience with both DL toolkits like PyTorch or Tensorflow and can deploy models with clean APIs. You are equally capable as a software engineer as you are in formulating novel research ideas and your code proves it.You are capable of reasoning from first-principles, where there is no trodden path, as well as critically evaluate when existing ideas are worth considering.You are articulate and can present your ideas in writing, in person, and in small groups, and are able to educate audiences at all levels on the novel applications and relevance of reinforcement learning.You can easily distinguish authentic and high integrity thinkers from ‘posers’, while also critically evaluating truth from fiction in your own work.Your colleagues consider you a highly positive personality, you amplify the energy of others rather than dampen the mood.Your intensity goes from 0 to 1000 when you become authentically interested in a topic.You not only have interests in reinforcement learning, but are deeply curious about a range of interdisciplinary topics, ranging from knowledge graphs, recommendations, web-scale search, deep learning, generative AI models, computer vision and the opportunity to build truly intelligent systems in software that are inspired by biology.You can show high creativity and intensity in your personal pursuits, and your intelligence, creativity, and motivation is not limited to only one discipline.You consider yourself an innovator and an original thinker, not a follower. You are looking for a way to contribute to the world, and want to join our team to do so.You want to work in person in London. Don’t worry, we’ll sponsor your visa.We’re excited to meet you. If you are too, send a short message with a list of your projects and highlights, as well as a brief paragraph of your life’s story, to .#J-18808-Ljbffr

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.
