Research Engineer: Graph Machine LearningAtman Labs, London

About Atman Labs
At Atman Labs we are building software to emulate proactive human expertise. Emulating human experts with deep knowledge and proactive assistance has largely been impossible to do via standalone Artificial Intelligence techniques. As an applied research and commercialization company we are deploying our products in a number of domains to demonstrate the value of our approach – from proactive shopping assistance, to personal teachers to healthcare concierges – and with this commercial focus advance our unique research that lies at the intersection of Reinforcement Learning rewards, Large Scale Knowledge Representation, and Predictive Models inspired by biological priors.

The Next Frontier of Machine Reasoning: Web-scale Knowledge Graph Exploration using Reinforcement Learning
Human experts can form and explore structured mental models in their heads to solve open-ended problems across different domains. Our research seeks to emulate this process through a novel combination of using reinforcement learning agents to perform exploration through a knowledge graph. Knowledge graphs allow us to represent structured information and the logical relations that govern it, unlocking the ability to build reinforcement learning strategies that can learn to solve complex, open-ended problems across web-scale and continuously-evolving domains.

You will be leading the research on knowledge representation and how it can serve to build AI systems capable of such complex reasoning. You will work on formulating research problems that explore how Reinforcement Learning algorithms can interact with large and complex knowledge graphs to reason over ambiguous tasks. To do this, you will develop knowledge graph machine learning techniques that will power several tools within our products. Knowledge graph representations (e.g. embeddings) are critical to representing web-scale, structured information in a compact format for a reinforcement learning agent, ensuring scalability. You will lead the efforts on training and validating graph embedding algorithms that capture multi-hop semantics within large web-scale knowledge graphs. Additionally, you will develop link prediction models that will enhance both the reasoning over the knowledge graph and recommendations.

About You
We are looking for ambitious and independent thinkers who have a deep desire to contribute and want to be part of the team that makes this a reality for humanity. In order to contribute, you should have all of these qualities:

  1. You have a PhD degree or equivalent industrial expertise in Graph Machine Learning and its applications.
  2. You have a deep understanding of the state-of-the-art in graph machine learning, with a focus on learning graph embeddings and link prediction problems.
  3. You have experience in training and tuning various graph ML algorithms including GNNs, Message Passing and Graph Transformers. Experience in building graph-based recommendation systems is a plus.
  4. You have 5+ years of programming experience in Python and have development experience with toolkits like PyTorch or Tensorflow and can deploy models with clean APIs. You are equally capable as a software engineer as you are in formulating novel research ideas and your code proves it.

Moreover, in order to deeply fit within our culture, you should embody the following:

  1. You are capable of reasoning from first-principles, where there is no trodden path, as well as critically evaluate when existing ideas are worth considering.
  2. You are articulate and can present your ideas in writing, in person and in small groups educating audiences at all levels on the application of generative models.
  3. You have a high ‘faker’ detector in others, and can critically evaluate truth from fiction in your own work.
  4. Your colleagues consider you a highly positive personality, you amplify the energy of others rather than dampen the mood.
  5. Your intensity goes from 0-1000 when you become authentically interested in a topic.
  6. You not only have interests in systems engineering but are deeply curious about a range of interdisciplinary topics ranging from computational creativity, knowledge graphs, recommendations, web scale search, deep learning, large language models, computer vision, human consciousness, and the opportunity to build truly intelligent systems in software that are inspired by biology.
  7. Outside work you can show high creativity and intensity in your pursuits, you cannot easily be characterized in one discipline.
  8. You consider yourself an innovator, and original thinker, not a follower. You are looking for a way to contribute to the world and want to join our team to do so.

You want to work in person in London. We’ll sponsor your visa.

We have the ambition to usher the world towards co-existing alongside Benevolent AGI.
Not only do we believe that our work is a credible approach to functionally emulate human reasoning but we believe that this mission can also allow us to conceive many commercial products that yield billions of dollars of commercial revenues that can support an ambitious R&D effort for years to come. We are building for a future where humans coexist alongside benevolent expert systems and seek to advance the field from the front. We are looking for ambitious and independent thinkers who have a deep desire to contribute and want to be part of the team that makes this a reality for humanity.

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.

AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026: Emerging Frameworks, Languages & Tools to Learn Now

As the UK’s AI sector accelerates towards a £1 trillion tech economy, the job landscape is rapidly evolving. Whether you’re an aspiring AI engineer, a machine learning specialist, or a data-driven software developer, staying ahead of the curve means more than just brushing up on Python. You’ll need to master a new generation of frameworks, languages, and tools shaping the future of artificial intelligence. Welcome to the AI Jobs Skills Radar 2026—your definitive guide to the emerging AI tech stack that employers will be looking for in the next 12–24 months. Updated annually for accuracy and relevance, this guide breaks down the top tools, frameworks, platforms, and programming languages powering the UK’s most in-demand AI careers.

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.
