Imagine joining a startup at the moment the foundations are being laid, where your code shapes the product, the architecture, and the culture. That’s this very role.

A VC-backed AI company in London (founded by operators from world-class tech brands) is searching for their first Machine Learning Engineer. Backed by strong investors and with paying customers already in the loop, the mission is simple but ambitious: create autonomous systems that can think, learn, and adapt in the wild.

You’ll be the one designing them.

Why this role matters:

• Your impact starts day one. You’re not “joining the team,” you are the team (for now).
• You’ll work directly with the founders on technical direction, setting the tone for future hires.
• Equity is real. Not a side perk, but genuine ownership.

The role itself:

• Translate reinforcement learning research into working, scalable production systems.
• Architect agents that move beyond brittle frameworks and actually explore + adapt.
• Build pipelines, deploy to AWS, and ensure these systems hold up in real environments.

Who fits best?

• Engineers with 5+ years production ML experience.
• Deep Python / PyTorch background.
• Someone who has built agents / autonomous systems (not just prompt-tuned APIs).
• A problem-solver who thrives in fast-moving, uncertain contexts.

If you’re excited by building something hard — something new — this is it.

Requirements

• 5+ years of production ML experience.
• Strong Python and PyTorch skills.
• Experience building agents / autonomous systems (not only prompt-tuned APIs).
• Ability to operate in fast-moving, uncertain environments.
