Position Overview:

I am working with a client who is seeking a talented Senior Machine Learning Engineer with expertise in Generative AI to join their dynamic team. This role involves designing, developing, and implementing advanced generative models specifically for healthcare applications. As a senior engineer, you will lead the creation of innovative AI solutions, optimise model performance, and collaborate closely with various teams.


Key Responsibilities:

  • Lead experimentation and benchmarking efforts to assess model performance and robustness.
  • Utilize Bayesian Optimization, Reinforcement Learning, or Meta-Learning techniques to improve generative models.
  • Enhance deep learning architectures to boost efficiency, scalability, and readiness for deployment.
  • Innovate and implement cutting-edge generative models such as Diffusion Models, GANs, VAEs, and Transformers.
  • Collaborate with software engineers, researchers, and product managers to integrate models into production environments.
  • Partner with the CTO to shape the AI team's research strategy.
  • Uphold best practices in MLOps, including version control, CI/CD pipelines, and model monitoring.


Qualifications:

  • Proficiency in deep learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, and JAX.
  • Over 2 years of experience in machine learning, with a minimum of 2 years dedicated to generative AI.
  • Understanding of tokenization, embedding techniques, and multi-modal generative models.
  • Strong grasp of probabilistic models, variational inference, and generative modelling techniques.
  • Experience with data pipelines, feature engineering, and managing large-scale datasets.
  • Knowledge of LLMs (with less emphasis), Stable Diffusion, GANs, VAEs, and self-supervised learning paradigms.
  • Excellent problem-solving abilities, with a history of publishing research or contributing to open-source projects.
  • Experience in deploying models on cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and using Kubernetes, Docker, and distributed computing frameworks (Ray, Dask, Spark).

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.

Neurodiversity in AI Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The AI industry moves quickly, breaks rules & rewards people who see the world differently. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & considering a career in artificial intelligence, you might have been told your brain is “too much”, “too scattered” or “too different” for a technical field. In reality, many of the strengths that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia map beautifully onto AI work – from spotting patterns in data to creative problem-solving & deep focus. This guide is written for AI job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in an AI context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths match specific AI roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of where you might thrive in AI – & how to set yourself up for success.
