Benefits

Equity

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)

Where to advertise machine learning jobs UK in 2026: the specialist boards and communities that reach ML, MLOps and deep learning engineering talent. 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.

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: What to Expect Over the Next 3 Years

Machine Learning Jobs UK 2026: roles, salaries and the MLOps, LLM and generative AI hiring trends shaping UK ML careers over the next three years. Machine learning has undergone a transformation that few technology disciplines can match. In the space of three years it has moved from a specialism sitting at the edges of most organisations' technology strategies to a capability that sits at the centre of them. The tools have changed, the expectations have shifted, and the range of industries treating machine learning as a core business function — rather than an experimental one — has expanded dramatically. For job seekers, this creates both opportunity and complexity in roughly equal measure. The machine learning jobs market of 2026 is significantly larger than it was three years ago, but it is also significantly more demanding. Employers have developed more sophisticated expectations, the technical bar for specialist roles has risen, and the landscape of tools, frameworks, and architectural patterns that practitioners are expected to know has broadened considerably. The candidates who will thrive over the next three years are those who understand where the discipline is heading — which specialisms are attracting the most investment, which technologies are reshaping what machine learning engineers and researchers are expected to build, and how the definition of a machine learning career is evolving beyond the model-building core toward a much wider range of roles across the full ML lifecycle. This article breaks down what the UK machine learning jobs market is likely to look like through to 2028 — covering the titles emerging right now, the technologies driving employer demand, the skills that will matter most, and how to position your career ahead of the curve.
