Company

Letly is an AI-Native vertical fintech platform focussed on the rental housing market. We are automating rental workflows end-to-end and building a fintech platform underneath to manage the trillions of dollars spent on rent globally.


We recently closed a pre-seed round and are hiring one talented AI/ML engineer with a strong software engineering background and a passion for deploying AI/ML models into real-world, production-grade applications.


Apply if:

  • You have strong foundational software engineering knowledge, including data structures, algorithms, system design, and OOP.
  • You have advanced knowledge of LLM architectures and ML/DL frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, LangChain, Keras, scikit-learn).
  • You're ready to design, deploy and maintain production-grade Machine Learning systems.
  • You're willing to champion best practices in code quality, testing, observability and MLOps.
  • You have experience with MLOps tools and practices (CI/CD, Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud platforms (GCP, AWS, or Azure).
  • You're a smart, intense, and focussed individual willing to build things efficiently in a close team.
  • You want to tackle large technical hurdles, and build first-of-its-kind software using AI.


You will:

  • Write high-quality, maintainable, well-documented, and tested code, adhering to software engineering best practices.
  • Design, implement, and deploy production-grade AI/ML models to address various platform needs (including NLP and OCR).
  • Optimise AI models and associated systems for performance, scalability, and cost-effectiveness in a production environment.
  • Implement and manage the infrastructure for MLOps, including fine-tuning, deployment, monitoring and versioning.
  • Develop robust data pipelines for ingestion, cleaning, model training, and continuous deployment.
  • Build retrieval-aware repositories for model training, evaluation, and real-time context-rich inference.
  • Collaborate closely with the software engineers to integrate AI models seamlessly into the platform architecture using APIs.
  • Be a key part of a high-performance, engineering and product-led company with a high degree of autonomy and impact.


Compensation:

  • Competitive salary and meaningful equity in the company.
  • Annual performance-based compensation (cash and equity).
  • Opportunity for true meritocratic progression in role and compensation.


Example deliverables (first 90 days):

  • Stand-up the rule-evaluation core of the compliance microservice: JSONLogic/CEL engine to load rule set from Mongo and return pass/fail result.
  • Wire a Pub/Sub sink to integrate with the rest of the system, emitting ComplianceDecision events, and land these in BigQuery for analytics.
  • Light-up observability – deploy OpenTelemetry traces + Grafana dashboards, and config alerts for latency, failure %, override rate.

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
