Job Description:
Summary:
Exciting opportunity to work at a tech-centric prop trading fund which trades a wide range of financial products, with offices across the globe. Looking for an experienced engineer with low-level systems programming and optimization expertise to join their growing ML team.
Machine learning is front and centre at this firm, and your focus will be to optimize the performance of their models: both training and inference. Theyre interested in efficient large-scale training, low-latency inference in real-time systems, and high-throughput inference in research. Partly this will involve improving straightforward CUDA, but they also need a whole-systems approach, including storage systems, networking, and host- and GPU-level considerations.
The successful candidate will be a smart, curious software engineer who enjoys finding solutions for complex problems. If you also have a great appetite for learning new things, this role is for you!
Requirements:
An understanding of modern ML techniques and toolsets, with a strong focus on performance
The systems knowledge & experience required to debug a training runs performance end to end
Low-level GPU and compute cluster knowledge, CUDA or other types of GPU programming, e.g. PTX, SASS, warps, cooperative groups, Tensor Cores, & the memory hierarchy
Debugging/optimization tooling experience, e.g. CUDA GDB, NSight Systems, NSight Compute, etc.
Library knowledge of Triton, CUTLASS, CUB, Thrust, cuDNN, and cuBLAS
Generous benefits package, including physical & mental health benefits, excellent holiday entitlement, significant parental leave, retirement benefits, private on-site gym
Focus on learning & development with tuition reimbursement
Recreation spaces with breakfast, lunch, snacks and treats
Whilst we carefully review all applications, to all jobs, due to the high volume of applications we receive it is not possible to respond to those who have not been successful.

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

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.
