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:

Veterans in Machine Learning: A Military‑to‑Civilian Pathway into AI Careers

Introduction Artificial intelligence is no longer relegated to sci‑fi films—it underpins battlefield decision‑support, fraud detection, and even supermarket logistics. The UK Government’s 2025 AI Sector Deal forecasts an additional £200 billion in GDP by 2030, with machine‑learning (ML) engineers cited as the nation’s second most in‑demand tech role (Tech Nation 2024). The Ministry of Defence’s Defence AI Strategy echoes that urgency, earmarking £1.6 billion for FY 2025–28 to embed ML into planning, logistics, and autonomous systems. If you have ever tuned a radar filter, plotted artillery trajectories, or sifted sensor data for actionable intel, you have already worked with statistical modelling—the backbone of machine learning. This guide shows UK veterans how to reframe military experience for ML roles, leverage MoD transition funding, and land high‑impact positions building the models shaping tomorrow’s defence and commercial landscapes.

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.
