AI Engineer - Jan 25

Senior Machine Learning Engineer

The Role

We are developing a hyper-personalised learning tool for adults. It’s not a chatbot but language is a critical consideration. Your work would lie at the intersection of knowledge representation, resource recommendation, LLMs, neural IR, and pedagogy. This R&D position focuses on new solutions rather than optimisation. You’ll have a lot of freedom in how you work; you will be told the problems to solve rather than the approaches to take. This is a hybrid office position requiring you to be in London regularly, if not daily. The work is hard but rewarding.

The Company

Grasp is an edtech research lab, re-imagining how humans master complex subjects by themselves. We currently provide products to a select group of partners in academia and industry.

Out team is intentionally small and multi-disciplinary, focused on design, pedagogy, and engineering. We have investment from world-class investors and are actively hiring. We have a firm belief that meritocracy, integrity, and hard work are prerequisites to success. We are based at Somerset House, London. Grasp is also a member of Makerversity, a pioneering community of over 350 world-leading entrepreneurs, creators and innovators.

Contract vs Permanent AI Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

n the ever-evolving world of technology, the competition for top talent in artificial intelligence (AI) is intense—and the rewards are significant. By 2025, AI roles in machine learning, natural language processing, data science, and robotics are expected to be among the highest-paid professions within the UK technology sector. As an AI professional, deciding between contracting (either as a day‑rate contractor or via fixed-term contracts) and permanent employment could drastically impact your take‑home pay, job security, and career trajectory. In this article, we will delve into the various types of AI roles in 2025—particularly focusing on day‑rate contracting, fixed-term contract (FTC) roles, and permanent positions. We will compare the earning potential across these three employment types, discuss the key pros and cons, and provide practical examples of how your annual take‑home pay might differ under each scenario. Whether you are already working in AI or looking to break into this booming field, understanding these employment options will help you make an informed decision on your next move.

AI Jobs for Non‑Technical Professionals: Where Do You Fit In?

Your Seat at the AI Table Artificial Intelligence (AI) has left the lab and entered boardrooms, high‑street banks, hospitals and marketing agencies across the United Kingdom. Yet a stubborn myth lingers: “AI careers are only for coders and PhDs.” If you can’t write TensorFlow, surely you have no place in the conversation—right? Wrong. According to PwC’s UK AI Jobs Barometer 2024, vacancies mentioning AI rose 61 % year‑on‑year, but only 35 % of those adverts required advanced programming skills (pwc.co.uk). The Department for Culture, Media & Sport (DCMS) likewise reports that Britain’s fastest‑growing AI employers are “actively recruiting non‑technical talent to scale responsibly” (gov.uk). Put simply, the nation needs communicators, strategists, ethicists, marketers and project leaders every bit as urgently as it needs machine‑learning engineers. This 2,500‑word guide shows where you fit in—and how to land an AI role without touching a line of Python.
