  • Collaborative with, and respectful of others on the team.
  • Honest, straightforward and caring about each other’s well being.


Why Safe Intelligence is for you


We strongly believe AI can bring great benefits to individuals and society, but these will only be achieved if the systems we build are safe to use. To meet this need, we are developing advanced deep validation techniques and tools that allow AI/ML engineers world-wide to validate the robustness of their models, as well as repair the fragilities that they discover. 


By joining us, you’ll be able to help advance the techniques, bring advanced technologies to AI/ML engineers worldwide and contribute to our shared mission to realise successful and reliable AI.


Grow with us!


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. We support ongoing learning for the whole team, ranging from individual mentorship to internal seminars and support for sector and technology-specific upskilling. 


Compensation & Benefits


Safe Intelligence provides competitive compensation based on role and candidate experience. We aim to be competitive with pay rates. 


Company benefits for all roles include:


  • Stock option benefits 
  • Mentoring, learning, and development allowance 
  • Regular team social and work events 
  • Flexible and generous holidays. We work hard and encourage everyone to take time off to recharge and enjoy other aspects of our lives. 


Equality and Inclusion


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. The team is highly collaborative and meritocratic. Great ideas come from everywhere, and we strive to make it easy for people to express themselves and be heard. 


Location & Office Culture


Safe Intelligence is based in London, UK, and we’re focused on building the initial team here. We highly value the ability to work flexibly and remotely at times, but we also have a strong belief that regular in-office interactions make for a much more fulfilling and productive work experience.


Our company culture combines optimism for the future (hard problems can be solved with the right effort), speed of iteration (the best ideas come from many ideas tested), and rigour in what matters (correctness and precision are critical for safety). 


Come and join us to add your skills and passion to the future of Safe Artificial Intelligence!

Rural-Remote Machine Learning Jobs: Finding Balance Beyond the Big Cities

Over the past decade, machine learning (ML) has transformed from a niche research domain into a pervasive technology underpinning everything from recommendation systems and voice assistants to financial forecasting and autonomous vehicles. Historically, the UK’s major tech hubs—particularly London—have been magnets for top ML talent and corporate headquarters. However, remote work has become mainstream, and many ML professionals are realising they can excel in their field while living far beyond the city limits. At MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, we’ve observed a growing interest in positions that allow for a rural lifestyle or a coastal environment, often reflected in search terms like “ML remote countryside” or “tech jobs by the sea.” This surge is no coincidence. Flexible work policies, better rural broadband, and the nature of machine learning tasks—much of which can be done through cloud platforms—are bringing new opportunities to those who wish to swap urban hustle for fresh air and scenic views. Whether you’re a data scientist, ML engineer, researcher, or product manager, a rural or seaside move could reinvigorate your work-life balance. In this article, we’ll unpack why rural-remote ML jobs are on the rise, how you can navigate the challenges of leaving the city, and what you need to do to thrive in a machine learning career beyond the M25. If you’ve dreamt of looking up from your laptop to rolling fields or ocean waves, keep reading—your rural ML role might be closer than you think.

Quantum-Enhanced Machine Learning—Propelling AI into the Next Frontier

Machine learning (ML) has revolutionised how we interpret data, build predictive models, and create intelligent applications. From recommendation engines and self-driving cars to advanced genomics and natural language processing, ML solutions are integral to nearly every corner of modern life. However, as data complexity and model size continue to skyrocket, the computational demands placed on ML systems grow in tandem—often pushing even high-performance classical computers to their limits. In recent years, quantum computing has emerged as a tantalising solution to these challenges. Unlike traditional digital systems, quantum computers exploit quantum mechanics—superposition and entanglement—to process information in ways that defy conventional logic. As these machines mature, they promise exponential speed-ups for certain tasks, potentially reshaping how we approach AI and data-intensive challenges. What does this mean for machine learning? Enter quantum-enhanced ML, a new frontier where quantum processors and classical ML frameworks unite to accelerate model training, tackle high-dimensional data, and solve complex optimisation tasks more efficiently. In this article, we will: Unpack the current state of machine learning, highlighting key bottlenecks. Provide a concise overview of quantum computing—why it’s radical and how it differs from classical technology. Examine potential breakthroughs in quantum-enhanced ML, including real-world use cases and technical approaches. Explore the roles and skill sets that will define this quantum-AI era, with guidance on how to prepare. Discuss the roadblocks (like hardware maturity and ethical concerns) and how they might be addressed in the years to come. If you’re a machine learning engineer, data scientist, or simply an AI enthusiast fascinated by the next wave of computational innovation, read on—quantum computing could become an integral part of your future toolkit, opening up job opportunities and reimagining what ML can achieve.
