We are partnered with an applied research lab that is building the future of AI-powered creative tools – systems that turn cutting edge research into production-ready technology that empowers creators worldwide.


They are seeking exceptional talent across three specialist roles to help solve the hardest problems in computational creativity.


Opportunity 1: ML Engineer to turn cutting-edge research into production systems that generate creative content. You'll build multi-stage inference for video, text, images, audio and 3D with real-time feedback and refinement.



They are looking for:

  • Deep knowledge of modern deep learning architectures, optimisation, and tooling.
  • Proficiency in PyTorch or JAX. Experience designing, training, and evaluating deep learning systems.
  • Breadth across ML literature beyond just generative models.



Opportunity 2: ML Research Scientist to solve the hardest problem in AI (teaching machines to be creative!). You will invent new methods beyond pattern marching to build cretive reasoning and artistic decision-making and will build models that generalise and create across a variety of mediums.



They are looking for:

  • Ability to invent new methods from scratch, requiring deep knowledge of ML fundamentals (math, probability, optimisation) rather than just applying existing GenAI frameworks.
  • PhD in Computer Science or Machine Learning preferred.
  • Proven ability to advance the state of the art, evidenced by multiple peer-reviewed papers at top venues like NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or AAAI.



Opportunity 3: ML Engineer/Research - Computer Vision (Generative Media) to make generative media go from an idea to screen and put the creative studio in everyone's hands! You'll build CV systems that generate minutes of studio-grade and turn pro editing tools into model controls: relighting, grading, camera moves – all inside the generator.



They are looking for:

  • Broad knowledge of computer vision literature.
  • Experience developing CV models for images and video.
  • Deep expertise in generative models for video.



Work at the intersection of art and technology. Access world-class compute resources. Collaborate with leading researchers and artists. Ship systems that millions of creators will use to bring their visions to life.


** Will offer sponsorship for the right candidate **

Research indicates that men will apply to a role when they only meet 50-60% of the descriptions, however, when looking at women and other minority groups, they can look for up to a 99% match in order to apply to a role. If you feel you are a fit for our role, please still apply, don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. We’d still love to hear from you. We encourage underrepresented talent to apply to all our roles & support accessibility needs.

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.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
