Machine Learning Engineer (optimization) – Startup LLM – up to £200k +equity – London

Do you have experience with optimization and quantization for ML models on HPC clusters?

Are you passionate about building groundbreaking technology and shaping the future of AI?

Are you excited by the thought of starting a company from the ground up? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

The challenge

We’re a young start up, putting together our founding team to join us in building an application to train and evaluate LLM applications, in order to be most efficient in compute usage, protect from vulnerabilities, reduce model failure and be aligned with human intent.

There are 7 of us so far, with an aim to get to 15 by the end of the year. We’ve secured $5m in seed funding to kick us off and aim to go for Series A in early 2025!

We’re looking for an experienced Machine Learning Engineer that has implemented SOTA Research and quantization techniques to optimize ML pipelines to enable people to ship their models faster and more efficiently.

About you

You’ll have experience applying quantization techniques, pruning, distributed training and optimizing ML pipelines for training and deploying on GPU, managed HPC clusters, implemented inference servers.

You’ll be able to define memory footprint, reduce memory consumption and improve data loading for ML Pipelines.

Here are some of things we’d expect you to have:

Experience in ML quantization, PEFT, DeepSpeed, ONNX, TensorRT etc Experience in Deep Learning using PyTorch Library Experience with Kubernetes Familiar with inference servers such as multi-LoRa, LoRA Exchange, TitanML etc Experience creating/managing multi node HPC clusters Experience with Workload Managers like SLURM, Kepler, Moab etc Experience working with some of the more recent LLMs (OpenAI, Mistral, Claude, LLaMA etc)

Whats in it for me?

As a start-up, the fancier perks are in the pipeline but being a founding member you’ll receive substantial equity alongside a generous base salary of £125-£200k, 4% employer contribution towards pension and 25 days holiday.

Negotiating Your AI Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

Artificial intelligence (AI) has proven itself to be one of the most transformative forces in today’s business world. From smart chatbots in customer service to predictive analytics in finance, AI technologies are reshaping how organisations operate and innovate. As the demand for AI professionals grows, so does the complexity of compensation packages. If you’re a mid‑senior AI professional, you’ve likely seen job offers that include far more than just a base salary—think equity, bonuses, and a range of perks designed to entice you into joining or staying with a company. For many, the focus remains squarely on salary. While that’s understandable—after all, your monthly take‑home pay is what covers day-to-day expenses—limiting your negotiations to salary alone can leave considerable value on the table. From stock options in ambitious startups to sign‑on bonuses that ‘buy you out’ of your current contract, modern AI job offers often include elements that can significantly boost your long-term wealth and job satisfaction. This article aims to shed light on the full scope of AI compensation—specifically focusing on how equity, bonuses, and perks can enhance (or sometimes detract from) the overall value of your package. We’ll delve into how these elements work in practice, what to watch out for, and how to navigate the negotiation process effectively. Our goal is to provide mid‑senior AI professionals with the insights and tools to land a holistic compensation deal that accurately reflects their technical expertise, leadership potential, and strategic importance in this fast-moving field. Whether you’re eyeing a leadership role in machine learning at an established tech giant, or you’re considering a pioneering position at a disruptive AI startup, the knowledge in this guide will help you weigh the merits of base salary alongside the potential riches—and risks—of equity, bonuses, and other benefits. By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of how to align your compensation with both your immediate lifestyle needs and long-term career aspirations.
