About the Role


This is a hands-on role focused on applying AI techniques to both geospatial and non-geospatial data, 3D workflows, and internal datasets to drive automation, insights, and new product capabilities. This presents an opportunity to contribute to novel research into developing spatial intelligence models, as well as the practical application of existing cutting edge techniques.


Responsibilities


  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams including Product, Engineering, and Data Engineering to translate business challenges into scalable ML solutions.
  • Collaborate with external AI specialists to deliver larger-scale projects.
  • Explore, clean, and transform large datasets for training, validation, and inference, including geospatial data types.
  • Design, test, and deploy predictive models and recommendation systems into production environments.
  • Identify and develop opportunities for AI-powered automation and decision-making tools.
  • Contribute to the architecture of intelligent data pipelines that support both internal operations and customer-facing features.
  • Continuously evaluate model performance and apply strategies for tuning, retraining, or improvement.
  • Participate in product and project planning to help prioritize AI-driven initiatives.
  • Mentor team members by sharing ML best practices and helping to build a culture of technical excellence.
  • Stay current with emerging ML techniques and technologies, and evaluate their potential for our use cases.
  • Support team delivery and maintain clear communication on changing goals, plans, or requirements.

Qualifications


  • Hands-on experience working with LLM such as GPT, LLaMA, Claude, or similar, including fine-tuning, prompt engineering, and deploying models in production environments.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, with expertise in using frameworks like Hugging Face Transformers, LangChain, OpenAI APIs, or other LLM orchestration tools.
  • A solid understanding of tokenization, embedding models, vector databases (e.g., Pinecone, Weaviate, FAISS), and retrieval-augmented generation (RAG) pipelines.
  • Experience designing and evaluating LLM-powered systems such as chatbots, summarization tools, content generation workflows, or intelligent data extraction pipelines.
  • Deep understanding of NLP fundamentals: text preprocessing, language modeling, and semantic similarity.
  • Strong proficiency in Python, including use of ML libraries such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or similar.
  • Experience with data science tools and platforms (e.g., Jupyter, Pandas, NumPy, MLFlow).
  • Familiarity with cloud-based AI tools and infrastructure, especially within the AWS ecosystem.
  • Strong understanding of data structures, algorithms, and statistical analysis.
  • Experience working with ETL pipelines and structured/unstructured data.
  • Must be available to attend quarterly company meetings in person.

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
