Machine Learning Engineer – Multimodal LLMs (Speech Focus)

About the Role

ConnexAI is developing a transformative product that enables speech-to-speech capabilities in large language models. This is a greenfield project with significant scope to influence both its technical architecture and product impact from the ground up.

We’re looking for a hands-on Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in building, optimising, and deploying ML systems — particularly in the areas of speech, LLMs, or multimodal learning. You will take cutting-edge research and turn it into production-ready models, enabling real-time, scalable, and reliable multimodal AI experiences.

What You'll Be Doing

  • Building and productising machine learning models for speech-to-text, text-to-speech, and speech-to-speech tasks
  • Translating academic and internal research into scalable, maintainable code and services
  • Developing and maintaining training pipelines, inference services, and deployment workflows
  • Implementing robust data pipelines for sourcing, preprocessing, and versioning multimodal datasets
  • Collaborating with research scientists to refine model architectures and integrate the latest techniques into production
  • Evaluating model performance with custom metrics and developing automated test frameworks for ML systems
  • Contributing to MLOps tooling and infrastructure to support model lifecycle management and monitoring in production
  • Working closely with product, research, and backend engineering to deliver seamless end-to-end features

What We're Looking For

  • Strong engineering background with experience shipping ML systems to production
  • Deep familiarity with speech technologies (ASR, TTS), LLMs, or multimodal machine learning
  • Proficient in Python, with expertise in ML frameworks such as PyTorch
  • Experience building scalable ML pipelines (training, validation, deployment, monitoring)
  • Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes, and ML deployment platforms
  • Comfort reading and adapting recent research papers into performant implementations
  • Strong debugging and optimisation skills, particularly around model inference speed and resource usage
  • Experience working in cross-functional teams and contributing to engineering culture and best practices
  • Bonus: experience with streaming audio processing, real-time systems, or speech synthesis engines

Why Join Us?

  • Be part of a foundational team building novel, multimodal AI capabilities
  • Shape the architecture and product direction from an early stage
  • Work in a fast-moving, collaborative environment with a strong focus on execution and innovation
  • Opportunity to grow alongside a rapidly scaling AI startup

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.

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.
