Who we're looking for

Post Hog is working on a self-driving product and is training its own Deep ML models.

This new AI Research team needs an AI Research Engineer who can work with our large data set, develop models, and ship production‑ready solutions.

What you'll be doing

You will be part of a team that researches emerging techniques and brings them into production. Your focus areas include:

  • Session replay analysis – improving detection of issues in replays with scalable, efficient models.
  • User behavior prediction – identifying drop‑offs, suggesting improvements, and boosting conversion rates automatically.
  • Synthetic user testing – simulating users to catch confusing flows or breakages before release.
  • Job Requirements
  • Ph D is a plus; a strong background in mathematics is required.
  • Alternatively, experience training models with strong math skills.
  • Strong coding ability in Rust (preferred), CUDA, or C.
  • Solid understanding of transformer architectures.
  • A product mindset; you’ll build production‑ready products.
  • Hybrid Remote with the London Office.
  • What we’re not looking for
  • Pure theoretical expertise – this is not a Jupyter notebook job.
  • Someone who only wants to research and publish; shipping has priority.
  • EEO & Accessibility
