Total compensation up to £300,000+ plus equity.
The difference between a great research seat and a frustrating one rarely shows up in the job description — it's compute, freedom to set direction, and whether the organisation actually ships what research produces. We work closely with labs and AI startups across post‑training, generative audio and multimodal work, so we know where those things are real. The teams we'd introduce you to care about your taste and your ambition, not just your publication list.
The opportunities:
- Salaries across these roles run up to £300k+, with equity on top.
- You'd own a research direction end to end — from first idea to a model that's trained, evaluated and live in production, often within days rather than quarters.
- The compute is real, the baselines are meaningful, and results don't sit in a paper queue.
- Driving a research agenda from idea to trained, evaluated model.
- Post‑training, generative or multimodal problems, depending on the team.
- Rigorous experimentation against baselines that actually matter.
- Carrying research from prototype through to production.
You may have:
- A strong research background — PhD or equivalent industry experience.
- Deep ML fundamentals and fluency in modern training stacks (PyTorch / JAX).
- A record of high-quality research in rigorous environments.
- An appetite for owning direction rather than executing someone else's.
