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.

The Skills Gap in Machine Learning Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Machine learning has moved from academic research into the core of modern business. From recommendation engines and fraud detection to medical imaging, autonomous systems and language models, machine learning now underpins many of the UK’s most critical technologies. Universities have responded quickly. Machine learning modules are now standard in computer science degrees, specialist MSc programmes have proliferated, and online courses promise to fast-track careers in the field. And yet, despite this growth in education, UK employers consistently report the same problem: Many candidates with machine learning qualifications are not job-ready. Roles remain open for months. Interview processes filter out large numbers of applicants. Graduates with strong theoretical knowledge struggle when faced with practical tasks. The issue is not intelligence or effort. It is a persistent skills gap between university-level machine learning education and real-world machine learning jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build successful careers in machine learning.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.
