Ready to work at the intersection of embedded systems, audio processing, and AI in a true 01 product environment?

We’re an early-stage, well-funded technology company building a next-generation intelligent hardware product, combining edge devices with cloud-based AI. Backed by experienced founders with a strong track record of building and scaling successful companies, this is a rare opportunity to shape a product from the ground up.

Audio is a critical part of the product roadmap — with significant potential to unlock deeper data intelligence than traditional video-based systems — and we’re looking for an engineer to take ownership of this space end-to-end.

Why Join

  • Work on a greenfield product at an early stage
  • Own a core product pillar (audio + AI) from day one
  • Collaborate across embedded, cloud, and ML teams
  • High autonomy in a low-ego, high-performance environment
  • Competitive salary + equity
  • Strong long-term growth and learning opportunities

The Role

You’ll take full ownership of the audio subsystem, spanning real-time embedded processing through to cloud-based audio pipelines and ML integration.

This role sits between embedded engineering and backend/AI — ideal for someone who enjoys both low-level systems and higher-level software.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design and build end-to-end audio pipelines (edge cloud)
  • Implement and optimise DSP components (e.g. filtering, noise suppression, VAD)
  • Develop audio processing systems under real-time and resource constraints
  • Build tools for analysis, testing, and performance evaluation
  • Collaborate with ML engineers to enable audio-driven intelligence
  • Debug and improve system performance across the full stack

About You

  • 0-3 years’ experience in software engineering, embedded systems, or audio/ML
  • Strong academic background (top university preferred, A grades at A-Level

Experience in the following would be advantageous but not essential

  • Coding skills (C/C++ and/or Python)
  • Understanding of audio processing / DSP fundamentals
  • Interest or experience in Audio ML, signal processing, or real-time systems
  • Comfortable working across hardware and software boundaries
  • Strong problem-solving ability and curiosity

Nice to Have

  • Experience with audio codecs, streaming, or real-time systems
  • Exposure to PyTorch / TensorFlow or ML pipelines
  • Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS or similar)
  • Hardware exposure (e.g. embedded systems, sensors, or low-level interfaces)

What We Offer

  • Competitive salary (flexible based on experience) + equity
  • Visa sponsorship available (international candidates welcome)
  • In-person, highly collaborative working environment
  • Opportunity to shape a core product capability in a scaling startup

Apply Now

If you’re excited by building real-world systems at the intersection of audio, embedded engineering, and AI, we’d love to hear from you.

Where to Advertise Machine Learning Jobs in the UK (2026 Guide)

Advertising machine learning jobs in the UK requires a different approach to most technical hiring. The candidate pool is small, highly specialised and in demand across AI labs, financial services, healthcare, autonomous systems and consumer technology simultaneously. Machine learning engineers and researchers move between roles through professional networks, conference communities and specialist platforms — not general job boards where ML roles compete with unrelated software engineering positions for the same audience. This guide, published by MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, covers where to advertise machine learning roles in the UK in 2026, how the main platforms compare, what employers should expect to pay, and what the data says about hiring across different role types.

New Machine Learning Employers to Watch in 2026: UK and Global Companies Driving ML Innovation

Machine learning (ML) has transitioned from a specialised field into a core business capability. In 2026, organisations across healthcare, finance, robotics, autonomous systems, natural language processing, and analytics are expanding their machine learning teams to build scalable intelligent products and services. For professionals exploring opportunities on www.MachineLearningJobs.co.uk , understanding the companies that are scaling, winning investment, or securing high‑impact contracts is crucial. This article highlights the new and high‑growth machine learning employers to watch in 2026, focusing on UK innovators, international firms with significant UK presence, and global platforms investing in machine learning talent locally.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
