Job Description:

Senior ML Engineer – Startup LLM - £140k + equity – Remote (UK/EU)

Are you an expert in NLP/LLM?

Are you passionate about building groundbreaking technology and shaping the future of AI?

Do you dream of starting a company from the ground up? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

The challenge

The rise of AI has skyrocketed demand for computational power. However, current solutions are expensive and dominated by large corporations. We're tackling this challenge by building a decentralized marketplace for compute power specifically designed for large language models (LLMs) with billions of parameters.

We’re an AI startup, leading the development of technology to drive the efficiency and performance of AI models. We’re looking for an AI/ML Engineer to be part of the founding team, joining our CEO, CTO, COO, and Principal Engineer.

About you

You’ll draw on your experience as an NLP/AI Engineer to drive the design of the platform and tailor it to be most efficient for LLMs.

You’ll have experience building large models, fine-tuning, and training them along with a strong theoretical understanding of how they optimize. You’ll be familiar with concepts like swarm parallelism and reducing active parameters. You’ll be able to minimize network bandwidth impact, define memory footprint, and estimate cache utilization to design effective optimizations.

What we are looking for is someone with:

• A solid background in Foundational NLP
• At least 3 years’ experience developing, training, and deploying NLP models
• Experience with High Performance Computing (NVIDIA CUDA)
• Experience fine-tuning recent LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, LLaMA, etc.)

It would be great if you also had an academic background in AI Research and experience with LLMOps.

You’ll be a founding member of a team that has secured $2.5 million in pre-seed funding and will receive equity in the company. The role is remote, with team members based across the UK, US (East Coast), Dubai, and Europe.

Please note: You must be eligible to work in the UK or EU to be considered.
