About the Role

Our client is a global, technology-led organisation operating at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and interactive entertainment. They are investing heavily in advanced R&D to transform how quality assurance is done at scale.

This role sits within a research-focused engineering team developing cutting-edge anomaly and glitch detection technology used across multiple stages of product development — from early builds through to large-scale testing and certification. The work has real-world impact, improving product quality for millions of end users globally.

You’ll operate at Senior / Staff level, shaping technical direction, driving innovation, and contributing to both applied research and production-ready systems.


Key Responsibilities

  • Designing, developing, and deploying novel machine learning models for anomaly and glitch detection
  • Leading research workstreams and contributing to publications, patents, and internal knowledge sharing
  • Working closely with cross-functional teams to productionise ML systems at scale
  • Mentoring and guiding junior engineers and researchers
  • Communicating complex technical concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders
  • Prototyping new ideas quickly to evaluate performance and feasibility


Your work will focus on delivering high-impact ML solutions, including:

  • Anomaly detection applied to video, gameplay, and QA data
  • Computer vision and video stream analysis
  • Research-led ML systems transitioning into real-world production environments
  • Scalable, high-performance ML pipelines


What We’re Looking For

  • Strong academic background (Master’s or PhD preferred, or equivalent experience)
  • 5+ years’ experience delivering ML solutions from research through to deployment
  • Strong Python skills and experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar frameworks
  • Deep understanding of machine learning, data analysis, and statistical modelling
  • Experience in anomaly detection, computer vision, or applied ML research
  • A track record (or strong interest) in publishing, patents, or conference participation
  • Strong communication skills and a collaborative mindset
  • An interest in gaming or interactive technology is highly beneficial

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.

Maths for AI Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

If you are a software engineer, data scientist or analyst looking to move into AI or you are a UK undergraduate or postgraduate in computer science, maths, engineering or a related subject applying for AI roles, the maths can feel like the biggest barrier. Job descriptions say “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals” but rarely spell out what that means day to day. The good news is you do not need a full maths degree worth of theory to start applying. For most UK roles like Machine Learning Engineer, AI Engineer, Data Scientist, Applied Scientist, NLP Engineer or Computer Vision Engineer, the maths you actually use again & again is concentrated in a handful of topics: Linear algebra essentials Probability & statistics for uncertainty & evaluation Calculus essentials for gradients & backprop Optimisation basics for training & tuning A small amount of discrete maths for practical reasoning This guide turns vague requirements into a clear checklist, a 6-week learning plan & portfolio projects that prove you can translate maths into working code.

Neurodiversity in AI Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

The AI industry moves quickly, breaks rules & rewards people who see the world differently. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people – including those with ADHD, autism & dyslexia. If you’re neurodivergent & considering a career in artificial intelligence, you might have been told your brain is “too much”, “too scattered” or “too different” for a technical field. In reality, many of the strengths that come with ADHD, autism & dyslexia map beautifully onto AI work – from spotting patterns in data to creative problem-solving & deep focus. This guide is written for AI job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in an AI context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths match specific AI roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about your neurodivergence during applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer picture of where you might thrive in AI – & how to set yourself up for success.
