Machine Learning Research Engineer (LLM & AI Agents)

Contract length: 6 months with potential to extend

Location: Hybrid 3 days per week in King's Cross

We are hiring a Machine Learning Research Engineer to join a high-performing AI research group working at the forefront of large language models and autonomous AI agents.

This is not a traditional engineering role. You will operate at the intersection of research and applied systems, building next-generation AI capabilities that push beyond current industry benchmarks.

What you will do:

  • Design and build LLM-driven agents for research and automation
  • Develop scalable machine learning systems using Python and PyTorch
  • Run complex experiments across large datasets and models
  • Collaborate with researchers and engineers to deliver measurable scientific impact
  • Contribute to cutting-edge work influencing real-world AI systems

What we are looking for:

  • 2–4 years’ experience in machine learning, AI, or related fields
  • Strong Python and PyTorch capability
  • Exposure to LLMs, generative AI, or agent-based systems
  • Strong academic or research grounding (Maths, Physics, ML)
  • High-output mindset with the ability to execute quickly
  • High-performance, research-led team
  • Direct exposure to world-class AI work
