Senior AI Engineers - Generative AI & Information Retrieval

💼 Hybrid London (1–2 days/week onsite)

đź’° Up to ÂŁ130k + Equity + Benefits


We’re hiring three Senior AI Engineers to join two rapidly growing teams within a high-growth fintech/data intelligence scaleup. You’ll work on cutting-edge Generative AI, LLMs, NLP, and Information Retrieval, building production systems used by global customers.


You’ll join a highly talented AI organisation (reporting into the Senior ML Manager) and work closely with product, backend, and frontend teams to ship impactful, user-facing AI features.


📌 Open Senior Roles (3 Total)


1. Senior GenAI Engineer - Client Features

Build the next generation of customer-facing GenAI features.

You will:

  • Build LLM-powered workflows, chat systems, and assistant-style features.
  • Develop simple, reliable systems that solve real customer problems (no over-engineering).
  • Work closely with product and UX to shape user-facing AI experiences.
  • Deploy LLM models and agentic components in production.

You bring:

  • Strong hands-on experience with GenAI, LLMs, agentic frameworks, or chat/workflow apps.
  • Excellent Python and software engineering fundamentals.
  • Solid cloud experience (AWS preferred, GCP/Azure fine).
  • Product-minded approach and ability to work cross-functionally.


2. Senior AI Engineer - Information Retrieval (Engineering-Focused)

Own engineering for large-scale Information Retrieval/NLP pipelines.

You will:

  • Build and optimise retrieval, ranking, and document processing systems.
  • Implement transformers, embeddings, search pipelines and evaluation frameworks.
  • Deploy and maintain ML/IR models in production.

You bring:

  • Strong ML engineering background.
  • Experience in document processing, NLP, embeddings, transformers.
  • Python expertise, solid engineering foundations.
  • Experience shipping IR/ML systems in production environments.


3. Senior AI Engineer - Information Retrieval (Research-Focused)

Drive applied research within a production-focused Information Retrieval team.

You will:

  • Research and improve retrieval and NLP models.
  • Design experiments, run evaluations, and iterate on modelling approaches.
  • Collaborate closely with engineering to transition research into production.

You bring:

  • Strong applied research experience (PhD or academic work a plus).
  • Deep background in retrieval, NLP, LLM evaluation, document understanding.
  • Python & cloud experience and ability to contribute to production code when needed.


📌 What We’re Looking For Across All Senior Roles

Technical Requirements

  • Strong Python skills
  • Cloud experience (AWS preferred)
  • Experience deploying ML/LLM/IR models
  • Background in at least one of:
  • LLMs & GenAI
  • Information Retrieval
  • NLP / Document Processing
  • Transformer-based architectures
  • Agentic or retrieval-augmented systems

Soft Skills & Mindset

  • Collaborative and pragmatic
  • Comfortable in high-growth, product-driven teams
  • Able to work fast without over-engineering
  • Passionate about modern AI and problem-solving


These positions do not provide visa sponsorship and require existing right to work in the UK.


Please note: Due to the high volume of applications we are not always able to respond to all applicants, if you have not had a response within 7 days of your application it is likely it has been unsuccessful.


If your skillset matched, please apply within.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.

Machine Learning Hiring Trends 2026: What to Watch Out For (For Job Seekers & Recruiters)

As we move into 2026, the machine learning jobs market in the UK is going through another big shift. Foundation models and generative AI are everywhere, companies are under pressure to show real ROI from AI, and cloud costs are being scrutinised like never before. Some organisations are slowing hiring or merging teams. Others are doubling down on machine learning, MLOps and AI platform engineering to stay competitive. The end result? Fewer fluffy “AI” roles, more focused machine learning roles with clear ownership and expectations. Whether you are a machine learning job seeker planning your next move, or a recruiter trying to build ML teams, understanding the key machine learning hiring trends for 2026 will help you stay ahead.

Machine Learning Recruitment Trends 2025 (UK): What Job Seekers Need To Know About Today’s Hiring Process

Summary: UK machine learning hiring has shifted from title‑led CV screens to capability‑driven assessments that emphasise shipped ML/LLM features, robust evaluation, observability, safety/governance, cost control and measurable business impact. This guide explains what’s changed, what to expect in interviews & how to prepare—especially for ML engineers, applied scientists, LLM application engineers, ML platform/MLOps engineers and AI product managers. Who this is for: ML engineers, applied ML/LLM engineers, LLM/retrieval engineers, ML platform/MLOps/SRE, data scientists transitioning to production ML, AI product managers & tech‑lead candidates targeting roles in the UK.
