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 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.

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.
