Who We're Looking For

As a Machine Learning Engineer in Delivery, you are a problem solver and builder who is passionate about creating practical solutions that enable customers to make better engineering decisions. You are someone who can grasp advanced engineering concepts across multiple industries, and you excel at working directly with customers (and often side-by-side with them on-site) to build, deploy and maintain production-grade ML tools that are useful, and used.

You design, build, and test reliable, scalable machine learning pipelines, and you know when to explore and manipulate 3D point-cloud and mesh data to enable geometry-aware modelling. You create analytics environments and resources in the cloud/on-prem that span data science, selecting the right libraries, frameworks and tools while making pragmatic product decisions that set delivery up for success. You thrive at the intersection of data sicence and software engineering, translating project outputs into tooling and products.

With at least 1 year industry experience (post Masters or PhD) in a commercial, non-research environment, you’re ready to hit the ground running. You’re truly excited about growing your technical expertise and are naturally inclined to take ownership of MLE pipelines, continuously improving the systems and solutions you work on to ensure they are practical, impactful and meet the evolving customer needs.

This Role

In this role, you’ll work closely with our customers, as well as our team of Simulation Engineers, Data Scientists, and Software Engineers, to understand and define the engineering and physics challenges we are solving.

You’ll build the foundations for successful, impactful solutions by:

• Designing, building and testing data/ML pipelines, that are reliable, scalable and easily deployable in production environment.
• Productionising ML models and surrogates with clear validation, error analysis
• Exploring and manipulating 3D point-cloud and mesh data, applying graph/geometry-aware techniques where appropriate
• Working closely with simulation engineers to ensure seamless integration of data science models with simulations.
• Engaging in open communication and presentation with both technical teams and customers, helping onboard users and co-develop with customers.
• There is a requirement to travel to customer sites in North America, Europe, Asia, Oceania, an average of 3-4 weeks per quarter, where you’ll collaborate closely with customers to build solutions on site.

As the role evolves, there are exciting opportunities for growth as a technical lead, perfect for someone who is driven by taking ownership of more complex projects and leading the direction of future solutions.

We operate on a hybrid model, with around three days per week based in our Shoreditch office.

What we offer

Build what actually matters

Help shape an AI-native engineering company at a formative stage, tackling problems that genuinely matter for industry and society. This is work with real-world impact - and something you can be proud to stand behind.

Learn alongside exceptional people

Work with a high-caliber, collaborative team of engineers, scientists, and operators who care deeply about doing great work, and about helping each other get better. We come from diverse backgrounds, but we share a commitment to operating at the highest level and addressing some of the most complex challenges out there. If you’re ambitious, thoughtful, and driven by impact, you’ll feel at home.

Influence over hierarchy

We operate with a flat structure: good ideas win - wherever they come from. Questioning assumptions and challenging the status quo isn’t just welcomed, it’s expected.

Sustainable pace, long-term ambition

Building meaningful technology is a marathon, not a sprint. We believe in balancing focused, ambitious work with a life beyond it. Our hybrid model blends time together in our Shoreditch office with work-from-home days, giving you the flexibility to work sustainably while staying connected in person.
