We are partnered with an applied research lab that is building the future of AI-powered creative tools – systems that turn cutting edge research into production-ready technology that empowers creators worldwide.


They are seeking exceptional talent across three specialist roles to help solve the hardest problems in computational creativity.


Opportunity 1: ML Engineer to turn cutting-edge research into production systems that generate creative content. You'll build multi-stage inference for video, text, images, audio and 3D with real-time feedback and refinement.



They are looking for:

  • Deep knowledge of modern deep learning architectures, optimisation, and tooling.
  • Proficiency in PyTorch or JAX. Experience designing, training, and evaluating deep learning systems.
  • Breadth across ML literature beyond just generative models.



Opportunity 2: ML Research Scientist to solve the hardest problem in AI (teaching machines to be creative!). You will invent new methods beyond pattern marching to build cretive reasoning and artistic decision-making and will build models that generalise and create across a variety of mediums.



They are looking for:

  • Ability to invent new methods from scratch, requiring deep knowledge of ML fundamentals (math, probability, optimisation) rather than just applying existing GenAI frameworks.
  • PhD in Computer Science or Machine Learning preferred.
  • Proven ability to advance the state of the art, evidenced by multiple peer-reviewed papers at top venues like NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR, or AAAI.



Opportunity 3: ML Engineer/Research - Computer Vision (Generative Media) to make generative media go from an idea to screen and put the creative studio in everyone's hands! You'll build CV systems that generate minutes of studio-grade and turn pro editing tools into model controls: relighting, grading, camera moves – all inside the generator.



They are looking for:

  • Broad knowledge of computer vision literature.
  • Experience developing CV models for images and video.
  • Deep expertise in generative models for video.



Work at the intersection of art and technology. Access world-class compute resources. Collaborate with leading researchers and artists. Ship systems that millions of creators will use to bring their visions to life.


** Will offer sponsorship for the right candidate **

Research indicates that men will apply to a role when they only meet 50-60% of the descriptions, however, when looking at women and other minority groups, they can look for up to a 99% match in order to apply to a role. If you feel you are a fit for our role, please still apply, don’t worry if you don’t tick every single box. We’d still love to hear from you. We encourage underrepresented talent to apply to all our roles & support accessibility needs.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
