Job Description

We are seeking a versatile and skilled AI/SLAM (Simultaneous Localization and Mapping) Architect. The ideal candidate will be responsible for, and take ownership of applying advanced machine learning techniques, computer vision, and hardware technologies to create and optimize SLAM algorithms. More specifically it will be to enhance, and extend and implement image recognition/training pipelines, visual positioning systems and to liaise with the wider technical team regarding their implementation into a real-world application.

This is a hands-on role.

Key Responsibilities

AI/ML/SLAM Algorithm Development:

o Enhance our Prototype: Enhance and extend our functional prototype into a robust SLAM system ready for deployment in real-world applications.

o Develop machine learning models: Develop solutions to enhance our SLAM accuracy, robustness, and efficiency.

o Sensor Data Processing: Work with sensors such as WebXR, LiDAR, cameras, IMUs, and GPS to process data and enable real-time mapping and localization.

o Determine appropriate technology/technique usage: Implement and improve 2D, 3D, and visual SLAM techniques.

o Deep Learning: Experiment with deep learning frameworks to improve SLAM performance in dynamic and unstructured environments.

o Identify and resolve defects: Work closely with the business to identify, to identify and optimise our solutions.

o Ensure security by design: Integrate security/privacy best practices into the learning process to ensure that approaches are secure and responsible from the ground up.

o Optimise for performance and scalability: Design and implement solutions that can dynamically scale to meet varying demands and ensure high performance and availability. Use profiling tools to identify performance bottlenecks and optimise code accordingly.

 

Agile Development:

o Agile Focus: Contribute to an Agile development environment, participating in sprint planning, daily stand-ups, and retrospectives. Work collaboratively to refine requirements, estimate tasks, and deliver high-quality solutions efficiently.

 

Qualifications

· Education:

o Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, AI/ML, Maths or related field (Master’s or Ph.D. preferred).

· Experience:

o Proven experience in developing and deploying SLAM algorithms in a relevant industry

o Strong understanding of machine learning, computer vision, and sensor fusion techniques.

o Experience working on mission-critical or SaaS services

· Technical Skills:

o Appropriate technological experience with Python, Pipelines, Cloud Computing and CLI fundamentals

o Experience with GPU programming and optimizing for real-time performance.

o Experience of mobile device hardware capabilities, specifically related to the camera(s) and geo services.

· Soft Skills:

o Excellent problem-solving and analytical skills.

o Strong communication and collaboration abilities.

o Ability to work in a fast-paced, dynamic environment and manage multiple priorities.

o Attention to detail and a proactive approach to identifying and addressing issues.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
