Machine Learning Specialist (Computer Vision)

Safe Intelligence is on a mission to make AI safe and reliable for anyone to use. In this role, you’ll play a leading role in helping customers with their ML validation challenges and in helping drive our product forward with insights on how to build the best validation solutions for high‑stakes machine vision problems.


Key Focus

  • ML‑based computer vision in high‑stakes applications in Aviation, Mobility, Robotics, and Edge Devices.
  • Object detection and tracking.

Responsibilities

  • Work closely with customers and end‑users to understand their machine vision models and help them assess performance.
  • Implement prototypes, use cases, and solutions that apply the methods and tools developed at Safe Intelligence to address user‑specific problems in deep validation and robustness.
  • Conduct experiments to evaluate various approaches and weigh their respective trade‑offs.
  • Coordinate with the research and platform teams to guide future development based on use‑case specific challenges.
  • Contribute to the development of an efficient and scalable package for performing verification and robust learning.

Qualifications

  • Previous scientific and engineering contributions to key problems in machine vision, such as object detection or tracking, typically evidenced via first‑author papers in top computer vision conferences such as CVPR, ICCV, and ECCV.
  • In‑depth experience in training, evaluating and deploying state‑of‑the‑art machine vision models, including standard architectures such as YOLO, Vision Transformer architectures, and EVA.
  • Experience talking to stakeholders in these models to understand their requirements and guiding them through what is and is not possible or desirable in a model.
  • Familiarity with Python and the packages widely used in data science and machine learning. Developers should be familiar with libraries like NumPy, pandas, scikit‑learn, TensorFlow, and PyTorch.
  • Familiarity with best practice in machine learning workflows and MLOps tools.
  • Fluency in validation and evaluation framework and metrics frameworks for machine learning such as Accuracy, Recall, F1, Intersection over Union, and others.
  • Experience in the Aviation, Mobility, Edge Devices, and/or Robotics industries.
  • Experience on industrial real‑world deployment of machine learning solutions.

Personal Attributes

  • Passionate about helping engineering teams achieve their AI and ML goals.
  • Comfortable and energized in a fast‑paced environment.
  • Excited about interacting with others and digging in to help solve their problems collaboratively.
  • Technical and constantly in a state of learning.
  • Able to communicate clearly and efficiently with a variety of audiences including developers, customers, researchers, partners and executives.
  • Fearless in getting “hands‑on” with technology and execution.
  • Knowledgeable about modern software engineering processes.
  • Comfortable with ambiguity with a drive for clarity.
  • Collaborative with, and respectful of others on the team.
  • Honest, straightforward and caring about each other’s well‑being.

Company Statement

We are proud to be an equal‑opportunity employer and work hard to create an environment where people of diverse backgrounds and life experiences can thrive. Great ideas come from everywhere, and we strive to make it easy for people to express themselves and be heard.


If you think you can bring something special to this role, please apply even if you do not meet all listed criteria. Safe Intelligence is exploring uncharted waters, and finding the right crewmates is important to us.


Compensation & Benefits

Safe Intelligence provides competitive compensation based on role and candidate experience. Company benefits for all roles include stock option benefits, mentoring, learning, and development allowance, regular team social and work events, and flexible and generous holidays.


Location

Safe Intelligence is based in London, UK. We value the ability to work flexibly and remotely at times, but we also believe that regular in‑office interactions make for a more fulfilling and productive experience.

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.
