👋 About Us


Synthesized is transforming how the world tests software with AI.


Trusted by global leaders like Deutsche Bank, UBS, and the European Commission, our AI-powered platform enables teams to generate high-quality test data and test cases in seconds—slashing costs, accelerating delivery, and eliminating reliance on production data.


We're a VC-backed company supported by top investors. With strong traction across financial services, healthtech, and telecom, and a $90B+ market in sight, we're scaling fast in 2025 and beyond.


🔍 The Role


As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Synthesized, you will work alongside machine learning and statistics researchers from top UK universities, as well as world-class software engineers. You will be responsible for developing advanced machine learning techniques and applying them at scale across our projects. Regular interaction with customers will be a key part of your role.


You should be driven by a desire to tackle the most important challenges and achieve groundbreaking results, rather than producing “yet another paper.” You should be eager to push your architectures to their maximum potential, rather than settling for toy tasks or proofs of concept.


📋 Key Responsibilities

  • Develop new and improved methods for generative modelling, unsupervised learning and meta-learning.
  • Run machine learning tests and experiments
  • Perform statistical analysis and fine-tuning using test results
  • Extend existing ML libraries and frameworks


🌱 About You

  • Good knowledge of probability, statistics and algorithms
  • 3+ years of experience in creating high-performance implementations of machine learning algorithms
  • Good knowledge of data structures, data modelling and software architecture
  • Proficiency with machine learning frameworks (like Keras or Tensorflow) and libraries (like scikit-learn)
  • Past experience in developing data software products (optional)
  • Track record of coming up with new ideas in machine learning, as demonstrated by one or more publications or projects (optional)


✨ What We Offer

  • Wonderful office in the heart of Shoreditch, hybrid 3-days 🏢
  • Generous cash compensation and share options 💰
  • Flexible work hours ⏰
  • Personal development budget (coaching, courses, events) 📚
  • Competitive health and dental plan coverage ⚕️
  • 32 days paid leave per year including flexible national holidays 🌴
  • Snacks and drinks provided weekly 🍏
  • Working alongside great people in a friendly and respectful environment 🙋🏾‍♀️
  • Company events, regular team socials, and international trips ✈️

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.
