Description du poste

Recruitment Consultant Specialising in AI/ML & Computer Vision

Lead Machine Learning Engineer

Location: London (Hybrid)

Salary: Highly Competitive + Benefits

We’re partnered with an innovative AI company building world‑class technology that powers real‑time voice and audio intelligence. Their products use deep learning and signal processing to isolate speech, eliminate background noise, and enhance communication clarity across enterprise, consumer, and high‑performance sectors.

They’re now looking for a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to take a hands‑on leadership role within their R&D team. This position combines technical ownership and strategic direction, guiding the research, development, and deployment of machine learning models for real‑time speech enhancement.

Responsibilities

• Lead the design, training, and optimisation of ML models for speech separation and noise reduction.
• Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a small, high‑performing engineering team.
• Bridge research and production — ensuring scalable, low‑latency model deployment.
• Collaborate cross‑functionally with software and product teams to integrate ML systems into live products.
• Contribute to the company’s long‑term AI strategy and technical roadmap.

Requirements

• MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or Signal Processing.
• Proven experience in leading or mentoring ML/AI engineering teams.
• Deep understanding of digital signal processing and speech/audio modelling.
• Proficiency with Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and modern ML frameworks.
• Track record of delivering production‑grade ML systems with measurable performance improvements.
• Experience with low‑latency inference and model optimisation (ONNX, TensorRT, quantisation) is highly desirable.

This is an opportunity to take ownership of the machine learning function within a growing AI company, driving innovation in real‑time communication and audio intelligence.

If you fit the requirements and are interested in this opportunity, then apply now! Otherwise, if you're interested in any other AI/ML and Computer Vision roles, then reach out to Oscar Harper at IC Resources.
