What we are building

Mimica's mission is to accelerate the discovery and deployment of automation with AI. 

Our first product, Mapper, learns patterns from employee clicks and keystrokes, identifies key steps, decisions and repetition and generates “blueprints” for automation. At the core of our ML pipeline is a technology translating noisy low-level computer actions into a clean, human-readable representation. Alongside creating process maps for automation, we've launched a companion tool, Miner, which helps enterprises identify and prioritize automation opportunities.

Our approach to engineering

  • We prioritize customer needs first
  • We work in small, project-based teams
  • We have flexibility in terms of the problems we work on
  • We own the full lifecycle of our projects
  • We avoid silos and encourage taking up tasks in new areas
  • We balance quality and velocity
  • We have a shared responsibility for our production code
  • We each set our own routine to maximize our productivity

What you will own

In this role, you will own components of our Machine Learning pipeline end-to-end. This includes researching advanced techniques in Deep Learning and Transformers, analyzing and preprocessing multi-modal data, and training and fine-tuning models. As a founding member of our team, you'll have the opportunity to shape our technical direction, processes, and culture.

Part of your day-to-day

  • Handling various data types, including clickstream text data and images, using NLP and Computer Vision techniques
  • Developing and deploying new models into production environments
  • Creating tools to measure and enhance model accuracy and performance
  • Documenting procedures and guides to facilitate knowledge sharing and helping other engineers to level up through pairing and mentoring
  • Participating in hiring and onboarding new team members; taking on end-to-end project management responsibilities as we grow

Requirements

  • A background in solving complex technical challenges at the intersection of Machine Learning and Software Development, from exploratory analysis to shipping production code
  • Experience delivering generalized solutions that are adaptable to different data scales
  • Proficiency in Python, with expertise in developing algorithms for processing complex data structures
  • A solid understanding of traditional NLP approaches, such as classification and named-entity recognition
  • Working knowledge of Deep Learning techniques, including embeddings or transformers.
  • Experience owning projects from start to finish, including specification, architecture, development, testing, deployment and monitoring
  • A drive to continually develop your skills, improve team processes, and reduce technical debt
  • Fluency in English, with the ability to effectively communicate abstract ideas, complex concepts, and trade-offs

Bonus

  • Familiarity with image processing and Computer Vision
  • Experience designing, building and maintaining data pipelines
  • Experience working in a high-impact, high-ambiguity startup environment, delivering value quickly and iteratively

We’d love to hear from you even if you don’t have expert-level knowledge of the technologies we use!

Location

This is a fully remote position. You can be based anywhere in the UK, Europe, or the Americaswithin a UTC-7 to UTC+3 timezone.

Benefits

We provide generous compensation and our goal is to always pay at the top of the local market. We take a structured approach to determining salaries and take into consideration our salary framework, market data, and candidates’ skills.

We also offer health benefits and ample paid time off, as well as a range of non-tangible benefits like flexible schedules and location, start-to-finish project ownership, and the opportunity to contribute to projects that will change the future of work.

AI Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Must Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK AI hiring has shifted from titles & puzzle rounds to skills, portfolios, evals, safety, governance & measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews, and how to prepare—especially for LLM application, MLOps/platform, data science, AI product & safety roles. Who this is for: AI/ML engineers, LLM engineers, data scientists, MLOps/platform engineers, AI product managers, applied researchers & safety/governance specialists targeting roles in the UK.

Why AI Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Artificial intelligence is no longer a single-discipline pursuit. In the UK, employers increasingly want talent that can code and communicate, model and manage risk, experiment and empathise. That shift is reshaping job descriptions, training pathways & career progression. AI is touching regulated sectors, sensitive user journeys & public services — so the work now sits at the crossroads of computer science, law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This isn’t a buzzword-driven change. It’s happening because real systems are deployed in the wild where people have rights, needs, habits & constraints. As models move from lab demos to products that diagnose, advise, detect fraud, personalise education or generate media, teams must align performance with accountability, safety & usability. The UK’s maturing AI ecosystem — from startups to FTSE 100s, consultancies, the public sector & universities — is responding by hiring multidisciplinary teams who can anticipate social impact as confidently as they ship features. Below, we unpack the forces behind this change, spotlight five disciplines now fused with AI roles, show what it means for UK job-seekers & employers, and map practical steps to future-proof your CV.

AI Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern AI Department

Artificial Intelligence (AI) and Machine Learning (ML) are no longer confined to research labs and tech giants. In the UK, organisations from healthcare and finance to retail and logistics are adopting AI to solve problems, automate processes, and create new products. With this growth comes the need for well-structured teams. But what does an AI department actually look like? Who does what? And how do all the moving parts come together to deliver business value? In this guide, we’ll explain modern AI team structures, break down the responsibilities of each role, explore how teams differ in startups versus enterprises, and highlight what UK employers are looking for. Whether you’re an applicant or an employer, this article will help you understand the anatomy of a successful AI department.
