Senior Engineer, Machine Learning in 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 Senior NLP Engineer, with a proven track record of delivering ML models to production, to join the ML team in our growing company.

• Build fully-automated pipelines for dictionary building;
• 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 and train models to determine the difficulty of words, idioms, phrasal verbs etc.;
• 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;
• Complete end-to-end experience - from finding and cleaning data all the way to monitoring models in production;
• Strong understanding of neural networks, CNNs, RNNs, LSTMs, and transformers;
• Experience building automated data pipelines;
• Hands-on experience with LLM tooling and libraries;
• Experience shipping NLP systems: prompt engineering, fine-tuning;
• Great knowledge of NLP algorithms: tokenisation, embeddings, attention, language modelling, text classification/generation, and information retrieval;
• 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.

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.
