As a Research Engineer, you will apply software engineering skills to turn analytical innovators from ideas into prototypes and products addressing real-world problems, and you will build and adapt the software and hardware infrastructure that supports our research work. You will join our Innovation Lab, a team of research scientists and engineers who value collaboration and knowledge exchange. The lab develops new technologies involving deep neural networks, LLMs, self-supervision and privacy-enhancing technologies. Our current tech stack includes Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, ClickHouse, Slurm, AWS, Terraform and Docker. However, we strive to pick the right tools based on the job, so there is scope for exploring new tools.
This role is ideally suited for a software engineer with a strong ability to navigate uncertainty, a passion for AI, and some experience working in a team in industry. Expertise in an area of AI would be a bonus.
This is a hybrid role based in our Cambridge office, so you will ideally be comfortable coming into the office once or twice a week. If you’re interested in the role but require more flexibility, please speak to us!
