About us:

At Synthera AI, we are building proprietary machine learning models to simulate financial time series data, in particular publicly traded assets, starting with yield curves (and expanding to FX, commodities, equities and beyond).

With our synthetic data engine, investors and risk managers are able to test out thousands of highly realistic market scenarios, uncover complex correlations and more accurately capture tail risks, ultimately enhancing hedging strategies and improving risk-adjusted returns for asset managers, hedge funds, banks, insurers and other financial institutions.

We recently closed a ~$1.9M pre-seed round, backed by Entrepreneur First, Motive Partners, and KDX Ventures, among others. We’re also participating in the deep tech accelerator CDL and in Plug and Play’s Silicon Valley accelerator. In addition, we have active research partnerships with UCL, Oxford, and Berkeley and are advised by a global leader in our field, Oxford Professor Rama Cont.

What you’ll be doing:

We are looking for an ambitious, highly skilled Machine Learning Researcher to join our early team. You’ll have the opportunity to make a direct impact on the company’s growth and trajectory from day 1.

Key tasks include:

  • Designing, developing, and implementing machine learning models in alignment with the product roadmap.
  • Identifying new methodologies to broaden the scope and capabilities of our machine learning models.
  • Supporting in quantitative research and analysis, including the development of algorithms, and backtesting frameworks.
  • Contributing to the overall development of the product, including tasks related to data pipelines, infrastructure, and optimisation of model performance.
  • Refining methodologies, addressing technical challenges, and ensuring the performance of our machine learning models
  • Ad-hoc support on related technical areas as reasonably required, within the scope of machine learning, quantitative finance, and product development.

Requirements

  • 2yrs+ of experience in Deep Learning and finance markets (or strong academic background in this field). Bonus if you’ve worked on time-series
  • Ideally experience in developing and deploying deep learning models
  • Expertise in DL frameworks and tooling (e.g., PyTorch, MLflow, etc.)
  • Strong proficiency in Python

Why Join Us?

Personal Growth and Upside OpportunitiesAs an early team member, you’ll receive equity with significant growth potential as the company scales. You’ll have a pivotal role with increasing responsibilities, including the opportunity to lead a team as we expand.

Proprietary Cutting Edge TechWe are building proprietary generative AI models based on recent breakthroughs in ML for Quantitive Finance, pioneered by our scientific advisor. Your role will be at the forefront of innovation and allow you to play a crucial role in the development of the product.

Flexible WorkAlthough we strongly believe in person collaboration, we also believe in flexiblity. That is why we are offering employees the option (if desired) to work from abroad for a few months per year.

Work with global leading expertsOur Scientific Advisor, Professor Rama Cont from Oxford, is the global leading expert in this technology. As an early member of the team you will have the opportunity to work directly with him.

10 AI Recruitment Agencies in the UK You Should Know (2025 Job‑Seeker Guide)

Generative‑AI hype has translated into real hiring: Lightcast recorded +57 % year‑on‑year growth in UK adverts mentioning “machine learning”, “LLM” or “gen‑AI” during Q1 2025. Yet supply still lags. Roughly 18,000 core AI professionals work in the UK, but monthly live vacancies hover around 1,400–1,600. That mismatch makes specialist recruiters invaluable—opening stealth vacancies, advising on salary bands and fast‑tracking interview loops. But many tech agencies sprinkle “AI” on their website without an active desk. To save you time, we vetted 50 + consultancies and kept only those with: A registered UK head office (verified via Companies House). A named AI/Machine‑Learning or Data practice.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

Stop Scrolling Job Boards and Start Tapping the Real AI Market Every week a new headline announces millions of pounds flowing into artificial-intelligence research, defence initiatives, or health-tech pilots. Read the news and you could be forgiven for thinking that AI vacancies must be everywhere—just grab your laptop, open LinkedIn, and pick a role. Yet anyone who has hunted seriously for an AI job in the United Kingdom knows the truth is messier. A large percentage of worthwhile AI positions—especially specialist or senior posts—never appear on public boards. They emerge inside university–industry consortia, defence labs, NHS data-science teams, climate-tech start-ups, and venture studios. Most are filled through referral or conversation long before a recruiter drafts a formal advert. If you wait for a vacancy link, you are already at the back of the queue. The surest way to beat that dynamic is to embed yourself in the professional bodies and grassroots communities where the work is conceived. The UK has a dense network of such organisations: the Chartered Institute for IT (BCS); the Institution of Engineering and Technology (IET) with its Artificial Intelligence Technical Network; the Alan Turing Institute and its student-driven Turing Society; the Royal Statistical Society (RSS); the Institution of Mechanical Engineers (IMechE) and its Mechatronics, Informatics & Control Group; public-funding engines like UK Research and Innovation (UKRI); and an ecosystem of Slack channels and Meetup groups that trade genuine, timely intel. This article is a practical, step-by-step guide to using those networks. You will learn: Why professional bodies matter more than algorithmic job boards Exactly which special-interest groups (SIGs) and technical networks to join How to turn CPD events into informal interviews How to monitor grant databases so you hear about posts months before they exist Concrete scripts, portfolio tactics, and outreach rhythms that convert visibility into offers Follow the playbook and you move from passive applicant to insider—the colleague who hears about a role before it is written down.
