Requirements
• You think in systems - you can hold the interaction between components in your head, reason about failure modes, and identify where theoretical elegance will break against production constraints • You have an optimisation mindset, not just in the technical sense but in how you approach problems generally - you look for the lever, not the brute force solution • You are comfortable with high autonomy and wide scope in a fast-paced environment • You deliver great results while managing your own pace sustainably • You read the literature seriously, have opinions about it, are willing to defend them, and willing to update them • You are not scared of ambiguity and thrive more when the problem is harder than when the solution space is clear • 3+ years in an ML research or engineering role with meaningful exposure to text generation, agentic systems, or symbolic reasoning (one of is fine) - or equivalent academic experience with real applied components • Demonstrated ability to prototype rapidly and evaluate results honestly • Knowledge of applied machine learning, model tuning and model evaluation • Knowledge of the latest approaches in generative AI, including SoTA models • Familiarity with open-source LLM ecosystems and cloud infrastructure sufficient to bootstrap independently • ## Experience and skills – not essential for the role, but will be counted as a plus • Experience combining deep learning with formal or symbolic systems - this is the closest to what we are building and the strongest signal we can receive from a candidate • Familiarity with probabilistic graphical models or decision-theoretic frameworks • Experience in regulated or high-stakes deployment environments • Working in a scaled B2C environment • Experience deploying using any of: Databricks, Azure or MLflow • Research and building of foundational ML models, regardless of domain • A genuine interest in AI safety and the ability to reason carefully about systemic risk
