As a Machine Learning Scientist you will join a team focused on the intersection of ML and Material Science. Our ambition is to apply ML across our materials discovery platform to make the most substantial impact possible.


As the ML team grows we are happy to consider candidates from all levels. Even if you do not think you are an exact fit for the role but are passionate about our mission and work we would still like to see your application!


You will :

  • Contribute to the design and implementation of state-of-the-art scalable and performant MLIPs suitable for high-throughput materials simulations for example using equivariant GNNs
  • Collaborate with our science team to accelerate our materials discovery pipeline using ML more experienced candidates could also be influencing product roadmaps
  • Interface with large volumes of simulation data (generated in-house) to build and refine foundational models
  • Apply best practices throughout the model lifecycle from experimentation to deployment
  • Shape the role and take on broader responsibilities based on interest and experience

Qualifications :

We are looking for talented and more importantly passionate individuals who are motivated by the application of science and innovation to achieve net-zero materials.



  • Experience building machine-learning models to accelerate materials simulations (e.g. creating a GNN for property prediction)
  • Experience building and deploying ML products in a team

You may also have :

  • Experience deploying models in a cloud environment
  • Understanding of containerisation technology (e.g. Docker)
  • Peer-reviewed publications on relevant topics
  • Ability in JavaScript Fortran or C

Benefits of working for us :

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
