The Role
Were shortlisting for an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to design, build, and deliver cutting-edge AI solutions for customers. Youll apply your expertise in software engineering and machine learning to transform manual workflows into automated systems powered by AI.
Youll work closely with customers and internal teams to understand their challenges, develop virtual agents that automate tasks, and build scalable, self-service tools that empower users to achieve value independently.

Key Responsibilities
Collaborate with customers to understand workflows and design AI-driven automation solutions.
Contribute to the development of our Virtual Agent platform in line with product strategy.
Ensure AI services maintain high standards of performance, reliability, and scalability.

Take ownership of customer outcomes and contribute across software engineering, DevOps, and MLOps functions.

About You
Were looking for a proactive and versatile engineer who thrives in a collaborative environment and enjoys solving meaningful technical challenges. Youll be comfortable engaging with customers and internal stakeholders, driving technical delivery, and contributing ideas that shape our product roadmap.

Youll be great for this role if you:
Have strong Python and machine learning engineering skills, with experience applying AI to real-world problems.
Can (or want to learn to) build agentic AI systems that automate human processes.
Understand (or are keen to learn) software deployment using Kubernetes and related infrastructure tools.
Have strong problem-solving and project management skills.
Thrive in a collaborative environment where shared success matters most.
Are open to occasional travel for company-wide gatherings (typically three times per year).

Nice to Have:
Experience working in a fully remote, international team.
Previous startup experience.
Experience building or operating agentic AI systems.
Familiarity with MLOps practices and tools, CI/CD pipelines (e.g. GitLab CI, Argo CD), and infrastructure-as-code tools (e.g. Terraform).
Knowledge of SQL/NoSQL databases, Kubernetes, and LLMs (Large Language Models).

Why Join
A small, remote-first team of passionate technologists dedicated to making the online world safer and fairer. The companys culture is built on trust, transparency, and self-leadership - where kind, curious, and ambitious people come together to achieve extraordinary things.

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.

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.
