Staff Machine Learning Engineer (Competitive + Equity) at VC-backed AI logistics platform

Principal Machine Learning Engineer

Founding ML/AI Engineer | ClimateTech | London (Hybrid)

I'm working with a pioneering ClimateTech startup that's on a mission to make a real dent in the fight against climate change. They're building a data and software platform designed to help businesses measure, manage, and mitigate their carbon footprint — and now they're hiring their first Founding ML/AI Engineer to lay the foundations of all things AI and ML.

This is a hands-on, high-impact role where you'll collaborate directly with world-class science and engineering teams to develop predictive models that assess risk and surface actionable insights for enterprise customers.

You'll be tackling some genuinely unique data challenges — from simplifying the complex world of carbon removals to solving first-of-a-kind data problems.

🔧 What You'll Do

  • Build and refine predictive risk models in collaboration with a talented science team.
  • Identify new and unconventional data sources to feed into those models.
  • Work with engineers to productionize model outputs through APIs.
  • Partner with product teams to bring ML-powered insights into real customer-facing products.

💡 Tech Stack

They keep things lean and modern:

  • Front-end: TypeScript, React, Next.js, Tailwind CSS
  • Back-end: Go
  • Infra: Google Cloud Platform
  • AI: Claude, Gemini, GPT (integrated for LLM-powered features)

For this role, Python will be your main playground — no need to know Go or TypeScript.

What They're Looking For

  • 4+ years of hands-on ML/AI experience.
  • Strong background in working with unstructured data and turning it into structured, model-ready form.
  • Experience building or fine-tuning predictive models and deploying them to production.
  • Familiarity with LLMs (OpenAI, Claude, Gemini, etc).
  • Excited about being the first AI/ML hire and shaping the roadmap.
  • Passionate about impact, sustainability, and working in a fast-moving early-stage environment.

💚 Why It's a Brilliant Opportunity

  • Be the founding ML/AI hire — set the direction, own the tech, and influence the product.
  • Join a high-calibre early-stage team with deep technical and domain expertise.
  • Work on meaningful, mission-driven problems that have a tangible global impact.
  • Hybrid setup — typically 2–3 days a week in their Shoreditch office.
  • Competitive salary, equity, 6% pension contribution, £1,000 personal development budget, and 4 weeks per year to work from anywhere in the world.

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.
