Machine Learning Engineer, Enterprise Research London, UK

AI is becoming vitally important in every function of our society. At Scale, our mission is to accelerate the development of AI applications. For 8 years, Scale has been the leading AI data foundry, helping fuel the most exciting advancements in AI, including generative AI, defense applications, and autonomous vehicles. With our recent Series F round, we’re accelerating the usage of frontier data and models by building complex agents for enterprises around the world through our Scale Generative AI Platform (SGP).

The SGP ML team works on the front lines of this AI revolution. We interface directly with clients to build cutting edge products using the arsenal of proprietary research and resources developed at Scale. As an ML Engineer, you’ll work with clients to train ML models to satisfy their business needs. Your work will range from training next-generation AI cybersecurity firewall LLMs to training foundation genomic models making predictions about life-saving drug proteins. Having a deep curiosity about the hardest questions about LLMs will also motivate various research opportunities on how to apply ML to the forefront of enterprise data. If you are excited about shaping the future of the modern AI movement, we would love to hear from you!
