Lead Machine Learning Engineer in City of London

We are a small London startup with the ambition to change education with ML-powered tutoring. Our flagship product is a mobile application for teaching English to intermediate and advanced learners. We’re on the verge of solving one of the biggest challenges in education – making high-quality, personalised learning accessible to everyone. We are building a fundamental model for education - one that can accurately predict student knowledge and orchestrate lessons, adapting to the students' needs.

We’re looking for a Lead ML Engineer, with a proven track record of delivering ML models to production, to own the ML team in our growing company.

• Work with a vast amount of unique data - we have data from over 1M language tests, including text and voice data.
• Create brand new dictionaries, applicable to any context - right now it’s the English language, but in the future it could be other languages or even subjects such as Mathematics.
• Analyse large amounts of diverse data - including data from every movie, book, and song.
• Create new types of tests for language learners to gather more test results, analyse them, and build prediction models based on these results.
• Optimise and fine-tune machine learning models for performance, scalability, and accuracy.
• Lead our ‘AI Powered Education’ meet-up in London, building a network of ML specialists.
• Experience leading and mentoring other ML engineers.
• Complete end-to-end experience - from finding and cleaning data all the way to monitoring models in production.
• Experience taking complete ownership of entire ML systems and data pipelines in large-scale production systems.
• Experience building automated data pipelines.
• Strong understanding of CI/CD pipelines and automation tools for efficient model deployment and monitoring.
• Strong understanding of neural networks, CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, and transformers.
• Expertise in Python and PyTorch.
• Can speak, or learning to speak, more than one language.
• Knowledge-sharing experience (tech talks, articles, YouTube videos, etc.).
• Experience using voice data in ML models.
• Lead an ML team that will become the leading specialists in ML-powered education.

A real-deal startup adventure: you’ll be hopping on a major project while it’s still in the works! Unlimited learning & development budget (courses, conferences, books etc.) Regular social events 25 days annual leave + public holidays Work from our London office.

If all the interviews are successful, we’d like to invite you to 2 or 3 paid trial days, or to complete a short project remotely with us, to learn what it’s like to work at Glite.
