Machine Learning Applied Researcher – Diffusion Models & Materials
Location: London Lab (5 days a week with some hybrid flexibility)
Salary: £65,000–£90,000

Experience: Recent PhD graduate or 1–2 years industry experience

A well-funded London-based startup operating at the intersection of machine learning, computer vision, and 3D rendering is hiring an Applied Machine Learning Researcher. The team is building next-generation tools that use image-based methods to capture and reproduce the physical properties of real-world materials — with applications spanning VFX, gaming, and digital content production.

This role focuses on using image generation and diffusion models to predict the physical properties of real-world materials – helping to redefine how digital assets are created and understood.

What you'll be working on
Developing custom diffusion models trained on a proprietary dataset
Fine-tuning and adapting foundation models (e.g. CLIP, SAM, Stable Diffusion)
Building task-specific models for segmentation, classification, and prediction
Designing modular architectures that combine pre-trained and custom components
Collaborating with data capture and engineering teams to shape end-to-end pipelines
Staying current with advances in diffusion models, vision transformers, and multimodal learning

What we’re looking for
A recent PhD (or equivalent experience) in Machine Learning, Computer Vision, or a related field
Experience across 3D graphics, rendering, or materials/textures is required
Experience implementing and training diffusion or generative image models
Strong Python skills and familiarity with frameworks like PyTorch, JAX, or TensorFlow
Understanding of transfer learning, computer vision, and image processing techniques
Ability to translate complex research into scalable, production-ready solutions

Why join this team
Work with a unique, high-quality dataset trusted by top-tier content creators
Tackle high-impact technical challenges in an area with strong commercial demand
Shape next-generation 3D content tools from the ground up
Join a collaborative, research-driven culture with strong ties to creative industries

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.
