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. What you'll do:

Hands on in architecting and designing early prototypes for technical validation.Turn prototypes into production grade architectures for internal development once projects move forward.Assist in recruiting a technical founding team for projects graduating to exit the studio.Demonstrate creativity in ideating and developing out-of-the-box solutions.Exhibit a hands-on approach to prototyping, and brainstorming business ideas and technical architectures to deliver them.Stay on top of the latest relevant (EVM ecosystem, Cryptography, ML Models) research and competitive efforts to identify synergistic ideas and approaches for Venture Studio projects.Keep an oversight over MSL core engineering services and projects for synergistic and project opportunities.What you'll bring:

Experience with Machine learning and software development.Experience with Python and/or Rust, Solidity.Hands on experience with LLM, tuning or using agentic workflow frameworksAbility to present to senior customer audiences, to explain complex technical concepts clearly.Experience working with customers to understand requirements and turn them into designs and implementations. This includes digging for opportunities based on information provided.Ability to create technical proposals and document designs.Ability to research new protocols and tech stacks to quickly understand mechanisms and key design elements / tradeoffs.Knowledge of web3 infrastructure protocols, architectures, and the current web3 landscape is a plus but not required.Perks and Benefits:

How to Find Hidden Machine Learning Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, Turing Society & More

Machine learning (ML) continues to transform sectors across the UK—from fintech and retail to healthtech and autonomous systems. But while the demand for ML engineers, researchers, and applied scientists is growing, many of the best opportunities are never posted on traditional job boards. So, where do you find them? The answer lies in professional bodies, academic-industry networks, and tight-knit ML communities. In this guide, we’ll show you how to uncover hidden machine learning jobs in the UK by engaging with groups like the BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), Turing Society, Alan Turing Institute, and others. We’ll explore how to use member directories, CPD events, SIGs (Special Interest Groups), and community projects to build connections, gain early access to job leads, and raise your professional profile in the ML ecosystem.

How to Get a Better Machine Learning Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Redundancy in machine learning can feel especially frustrating when your role was technically advanced, strategically important, or AI-facing. But the UK still has strong demand for machine learning professionals across fintech, healthtech, retail, cybersecurity, autonomous systems, and generative AI. Whether you're a research-oriented ML engineer, production-focused MLOps developer, or applied scientist, this guide is designed to help you bounce back from redundancy and find a better opportunity that suits your goals.

Machine Learning Jobs Salary Calculator 2025: Figure Out Your True Worth in Seconds

Why last year’s pay survey is useless for UK ML professionals today Ask a Machine Learning Engineer wrangling transformer checkpoints, an MLOps Lead firefighting drift alarms, or a Research Scientist training diffusion models at 3 a.m.: “Am I earning what I deserve?” The honest answer changes monthly. A single OpenAI model drop doubles GPU demand, healthcare regulators release fresh explainability guidance, & a fintech unicorn pays six figures for vector‑search expertise. Each shock nudges salary bands. Any PDF salary guide printed in 2024 now looks like an outdated Jupyter notebook—missing the gen‑AI tsunami, the surge in edge inference, & the UK’s new Responsible‑AI framework. To give ML professionals an accurate benchmark, MachineLearningJobs.co.uk distilled a transparent, three‑factor formula that estimates a realistic 2025 salary in under a minute. Feed in your discipline, UK region, & seniority; you’ll receive a defensible figure—no stale averages, no guesswork. This article unpacks the formula, highlights the forces driving ML pay skyward, & offers five practical moves to boost your value inside the next ninety days.
