Machine Learning Engineer | £50k–£70k + Equity | Remote (UK) Tellme is an AI-driven platform that enriches visitor experiences at attractions (museums, aquariums, heritage sites etc.). We use computer vision and generative AI to deliver interactive and personalised experiences straight to visitors' phones.
After successful pilots with Madame Tussauds and National Museums Wales, we have closed our pre-seed round and are now building a scalable platform for wider rollout. As we establish our founding engineering team, we’re hiring a Machine Learning Engineer to lead the development of our core AI systems.
What you’ll work on
Computer Vision: You might come from a background in image embeddings and similarity-based approaches (e.g. CLIP, vector search), or from more traditional computer vision techniques like classification and object detection (e.g. MobileNet, YOLO). Either way, we’re looking for someone who can help our app understand what the visitor is looking at – reliably and at scale.
RAG Systems, Data Pipelines & Internal Agents: You'll design the data pipelines that power our AI features, including retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), internal LLM-based tools, and content delivery workflows. Experience with vector stores, agent frameworks, or scalable data workflows is all relevant here.
MLOps & Deployment: Build and maintain the infrastructure behind our AI stack – including serving models via APIs, monitoring performance, and deploying systems to the cloud. AWS is a plus, but experience with any major cloud platform is welcome. Experience working offline or on edge devices is also highly valuable.
Collaboration & Growth: You’ll work closely with the founder on shaping the product roadmap, defining priorities, and making key technical decisions. As an early team member, there’s real opportunity to grow into a broader leadership role as the company scales.
Remote-first (UK-based), with regular travel to partner sites. London or Belfast-based is a bonus, but not essential.
Compensation: £50,000–£70,000 salary + share options (0–2%), depending on experience and preferred balance.
Start: ASAP
We're early-stage, with plenty of room to grow — in scope, impact, and salary.
