Machine Learning Engineer (R&D) – AI Incubator – upto £150k +equity – Remote (UK/EU)


Do you have a solid AI Research background?


Do you have experience creating PoCs from SOTA research?


Are you uptodate with the latest in AI?


The challenge

We’re a startup incubator, founded by a successful tech entrepreneur just over 2 years ago. Our expertise lies in Web3 technologies and AI, we’ve launched successful Blockchain startups and our maiden AI startup.


As we grow our AI Startup portfolio, we’re searching for a couple of ML Engineers to join our R&D team, working closely with our CTO and VP of Engineering to explore use cases and SOTA research in AI in order to identify potential AI products, which you will take from idea to PoC and spin into zero to one startups.


You will be working on multiple ideas simultaneously whilst remaining an advisor to the startups you’ve spun out, making you influential in their success and will grow and lead an AI R&D function within the business.


About you

You’ll be an expert in AI, having worked for at least 5 years in the sector and have a genuine passion for AI technologies, have experienced several use cases (fails and successes), upto date with latest research in AI and an entrepreneurial mindset. You’ll cherish ambiguity and fog and be able to rapidly shift SOTA research into prototypes.


What we are looking for is someone with:

  • A background in Research (PhD desirable)
  • At least 3 years’ commercial experience of hands on developing PoCs, training and deploying AI models
  • Ability to wade through ideas and rapidly build prototypes
  • Experience fine tuning some of the more recent LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, LLaMA, Mistral etc)
  • Uptodate with current research in AI


Ideally you’ll have worked in an early stage startup or started your own, previous zero to one experience would be hugely beneficial.


Benefits

The role will be fully remote, being based in or around London would be an advantage as you can meet up with the VP of Engineering and CTO on occasions and bounce ideas off each other.

There’s a salary of up to £150k with equity in all the startups you spin out.


Please note: you must be eligible to work in the UK or EU to be considered for this position.

Machine Learning Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Are you considering a career change into machine learning in your 30s, 40s or 50s? You’re not alone. In the UK, organisations across industries such as finance, healthcare, retail, government & technology are investing in machine learning to improve decisions, automate processes & unlock new insights. But with all the hype, it can be hard to tell which roles are real job opportunities and which are just buzzwords. This article gives you a practical, UK-focused reality check: which machine learning roles truly exist, what skills employers really hire for, how long retraining realistically takes, how to position your experience and whether age matters in your favour or not. Whether you come from analytics, engineering, operations, research, compliance or business strategy, there is a credible route into machine learning if you approach it strategically.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.
