The Company


Today, from Michelin-starred restaurants to your neighbourhood cafes,pen & paper and spreadsheets still rules over core operations- from costing menus, checking inventory to managing supplies. These operations are hidden from consumers’ eyes in what’s known as the Back-of-House, the beating heart of any food businesses.


While the Front-of-house - think point of sale, bookings, and food delivery - has attracted billions in investment, it fails to cope with core operations in the back. That’s where Jelly begins.


We are building a new system from the ground up for the Back-of-House - to change everything.


The Role

These arise from a fragmented, complex industry handling billions of daily transactions without standardisation of data. You’ll harness cutting-edge technologies - from computer vision to LLMs, or any other novel approach you devise - to deliver transformative solutions.


You’ll have autonomy and influence in shaping a product for one of the world’s largest industries, working with a small, tight-knit, and highly supportive team. Strong communication skills are essential, as you’ll have visibility across all parts of the business.

  • Significant equity options reflecting the importance of this role, more than you would find elsewhere.
  • 33 days of paid leave per year (25 holidays + 8 bank holidays).

  • Dedicated one-to-one coaching sessions.
  • Fortnightly social dinners at our customer restaurants.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.
