MLOps Engineer

London (3x week)

Up to £130,000


I’m working with a very (VERY) cool London startup that is looking for someone to help develop their entire ML infrastructure and MLOps platform from scratch.


With the AI space awash with startups, it’s hard to distinguish those with a credible use case, but this is your chance to join a company is genuinely moving the needle and will drastically change what the future looks like.


I’m looking for someone senior with experience setting strategy and defining roadmaps but who wants to be exclusively hands-on for the foreseeable future.


This is not a leadership position, instead, you’ll work alongside the leadership team to develop the entire ML infrastructure and get the whole thing off the ground.


The salary is flexible but ideally around the £130k mark. Base is boosted by a strong equity package, but ultimately, they want someone passionate about being part of something truly game-changing and not solely driven by money.


Given the complexities of what they're building, I’m most interested in speaking to people who have worked across multiple fields of ML/AI – LLMs, Computer Vision, Robotics, Control Systems, Edge AI etc.


A very strong MLOps background is essential, as is experience with networking, security, and production within a cloud environment.


Essential requirements:


  • 0-1 startup experience/background building ML platforms from scratch.
  • High growth startup experience.
  • Background working across more than one field of ML/AI - LLMs, Computer Vision, Robotics, Control Systems, Edge AI.
  • Expert level MLOps.
  • Cloud platform – ideally AWS.
  • Strong knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, and Git.
  • Security and networking best practices.


If you’re an MLOps leader who wants to be hands-on working on greenfield projects for one of the most exciting startups around, reach out to Jamie Forgan at SR2 and we can discuss the role and company in more detail.

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)

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.

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.
