Applied Machine Learning Engineer - London (Hybrid) - £60,000

I'm working with a fast-growing, founder-led start-up that's on a mission to make digital ads actually enjoyable — tackling one of the biggest challenges in adtech: building a higher-quality, more intelligent ad-funded internet.

They're now hiring their first ever Applied Machine Learning Engineer — someone curious, hands-on, and ready to own all things ML from day one.

What you'll be doing:

  • Building and deploying applied ML systems that make the product smarter and more defensible
  • Developing contextual categorisation of web content
  • Prototyping algorithms to optimise ad performance and bidding logic
  • Applying modern LLM techniques — from prompt engineering to retrieval-augmented generation (RAG)
  • Working cross-functionally with engineers, product and commercial teams to bring ideas to life

What they're looking for:

  • 1–3 years' experience in applied ML/AI (or equivalent projects)
  • Strong Python skills with PyTorch, Hugging Face or scikit-learn
  • Experience experimenting with LLMs (fine-tuning, embeddings, prompt chaining etc.)
  • A passion for turning messy real-world data into something powerful and production-ready
  • Excitement about being the first ML hire in a scaling start-up environment

Why you'll love it:

  • Real ownership from day one — build, shape and scale the ML function
  • Hybrid setup (London-based, flexible culture)
  • 33 days holiday + Christmas shutdown
  • Private medical, pension, socials, offsites & more

If you're ready to apply your ML skills in a high-impact, creative environment — where ideas move from concept to production fast — I'd love to chat.
