About Moonsong Labs

Moonsong Labs is a cutting-edge Web3 and AI incubator and services company focused on driving projects and ideas in the next wave of developer and end user adoption. We're assembling a dream team of brilliant minds who are as excited as we are about building the future of the internet. Together, we'll disrupt traditional industries, empower individuals, and create a more equitable and transparent digital landscape. Examples of Moonsong Labs projects include Kluster.ai (Decentralised compute platform optimised for Machine learning use cases), Moonbeam (EVM compatible L1 optimized for cross chain use cases) and Tanssi (AppChain Infrastructure).

The Venture Studio team

We believe we are at a significant inflection point in technology where AI and web3 are both set to disrupt the way we work and interact with one another and we want to position ourselves right at the intersection of these two technologies. Our Venture Studio team is focused on investigating, researching, designing, and building new solutions to help drive web3 and Machine learning user adoption and improve scalabilty, usability, and user experiences with the ultimate aim of launching each product as a stand alone company to add to our growing network of Moonsong Labs portfoilio companies.

Your Role:

Your work in the Venture studio team will include research, prototype development and presentations of initial proposals for web3 and ML infrastructure projects among other things. You will be working alongside our VP of Products to research and validate new ideas for the venture studio with a focus on AI and web3 technology stacks. We are working with bleeding edge open source technologies such as zkStack, various open source AI models, Starknet etc. The ideal candidate is an experienced Machine Learning Engineer that has experience working with various models, in particular LLMs, and ideally has low level programming experience in Rust, C, or C++. This role would be a good fit for an engineer that enjoys being creative and is comfortable with creating prototypes and MVPs without necessarily driving the project through to production.

Negotiating Your Machine Learning Job Offer: Equity, Bonuses & Perks Explained

How to Secure a Compensation Package That Matches Your Technical Mastery and Strategic Influence in the UK’s ML Landscape Machine learning (ML) has rapidly shifted from an emerging discipline to a mission-critical function in modern enterprises. From optimising e-commerce recommendations to powering autonomous vehicles and driving innovation in healthcare, ML experts hold the keys to transformative outcomes. As a mid‑senior professional in this field, you’re not only crafting sophisticated algorithms; you’re often guiding strategic decisions about data pipelines, model deployment, and product direction. With such a powerful impact on business results, companies across the UK are going beyond standard salary structures to attract top ML talent. Negotiating a compensation package that truly reflects your value means looking beyond the numbers on your monthly payslip. In addition to a competitive base salary, you could be securing equity, performance-based bonuses, and perks that support your ongoing research, development, and growth. However, many mid‑senior ML professionals leave these additional benefits on the table—either because they’re unsure how to negotiate them or they simply underestimate their long-term worth. This guide explores every critical aspect of negotiating a machine learning job offer. Whether you’re joining an AI-focused start-up or a major tech player expanding its ML capabilities, understanding equity structures, bonus schemes, and strategic perks will help you lock in a package that matches your technical expertise and strategic influence. Let’s dive in.

Machine Learning Jobs in the Public Sector: Opportunities Across GDS, NHS, MOD, and More

Machine learning (ML) has rapidly moved from academic research labs to the heart of industrial and governmental operations. Its ability to uncover patterns, predict outcomes, and automate complex tasks has revolutionised industries ranging from finance to retail. Now, the public sector—encompassing government departments, healthcare systems, and defence agencies—has become an increasingly fertile ground for machine learning jobs. Why? Because government bodies oversee vast datasets, manage critical services for millions of citizens, and must operate efficiently under tight resource constraints. From using ML algorithms to improve patient outcomes in the NHS, to enhancing cybersecurity within the Ministry of Defence (MOD), there’s a growing demand for skilled ML professionals in UK public sector roles. If you’re passionate about harnessing data-driven insights to solve large-scale problems and contribute to societal well-being, machine learning jobs in the public sector offer an unparalleled blend of challenge and impact. In this article, we’ll explore the key reasons behind the public sector’s investment in ML, highlight the leading organisations, outline common job roles, and provide practical guidance on securing a machine learning position that helps shape the future of government services.

Contract vs Permanent Machine Learning Jobs: Which Pays Better in 2025?

Machine learning (ML) has swiftly become one of the most transformative forces in the UK technology landscape. From conversational AI and autonomous vehicles to fraud detection and personalised recommendations, ML algorithms are reshaping how organisations operate and how consumers experience products and services. In response, job opportunities in machine learning—including roles in data science, MLOps, natural language processing (NLP), computer vision, and more—have risen dramatically. Yet, as the demand for ML expertise booms, professionals face a pivotal choice about how they want to work. Some choose day‑rate contracting, leveraging short-term projects for potentially higher immediate pay. Others embrace fixed-term contract (FTC) roles for mid-range stability, or permanent positions for comprehensive benefits and a well-defined career path. In this article, we will explore these different employment models, highlighting the pros and cons of each, offering sample take‑home pay scenarios, and providing insights into which path might pay better in 2025. Whether you’re a new graduate with a machine learning degree or an experienced practitioner pivoting into an ML-heavy role, understanding these options is key to making informed career decisions.
