Company: We Source Talent
Apply for the Machine Learning Engineer – AI Native Startup – up to £160k
Location: London
Job Description:

An AI-native Insurtech is hiring a Machine Learning Engineer. Backed by some of the best-known names in tech investing and already managing claims across $100M+ in premium for 30+ partners.

  • Timing — Join at the 0-to-1 stage and help build the engineering team and technical culture from the ground up
  • Real impact — You’ll ship ML that supports people during life’s most critical moments, not dashboards no one uses
  • Ownership — Work directly with founders, talk to customers, and own problems end to end as the company scales

The Role

  • Build AI systems that improve accuracy, speed up assessments, and lift the customer experience
  • Partner with domain specialists to turn messy, manual processes into reliable AI-driven workflows
  • Deploy machine learning solutions at scale, in production, where real money and real people depend on them
  • Help shape the engineering team and technical direction as one of the early hires
  • Learn — and help build — what it actually takes to scale a startup from 0 to 1

What We’re Looking For

  • 2–7 years in applied Machine Learning, with ML products you’ve shipped at scale
  • You’ve built 0-to-1 inside a startup and can iterate fast under real constraints
  • Background at a hyperscaler, an AI-first startup, or big tech — or, if you’re from a smaller/lesser-known company, a strong academic pedigree to match
  • Grounding in classical machine learning or LLM research
  • Hands-on experience building LLM-powered automation workflows
  • Strong Python for ML research and rapid prototyping
  • High agency you’re happy to get in front of customers and stakeholders while you build, not just behind a screen
  • Paying up to £160k + Equity + Bonus
