Senior / Staff AI Engineer (Python, ML Systems) - FULLY REMOTE
High-growth AI |
We're working with a well-funded, fast-scaling AI company building a highly ambitious product at enterprise scale. They're now looking to add Senior and Staff-level AI Engineers to help shape the next phase of their ML platform and establish strong technical leadership within the team.
This is a product engineering role (not consultancy, not internal tools) with a heavy focus on ML systems, model deployment, and production AI infrastructure.
🔧 What you'll be doing
* Designing and building production ML systems and pipelines in Python
* Architecting scalable inference infrastructure and model serving systems
* Building robust MLOps tooling for training, evaluation, and deployment
* Owning AI system reliability, performance optimization, and monitoring at scale
* Acting as a technical leader within the AI engineering team, with a clear path to Staff / Tech Lead impact
* Helping lay the foundations for significant product and engineering growth over the next 12–18 months
🧠 What they're looking for
* Senior or Staff-level AI/ML engineer (roughly 10–12+ years' experience)
* Expert Python skills with deep ML frameworks experience (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar)
* Proven experience running production ML systems at scale
* Strong background in model deployment, MLOps, and ML system architecture
* Experience with LLMs, transformers, or modern AI architectures
* Comfortable making long-term technical decisions around ML infrastructure
* Experience in regulated or enterprise AI environments is a plus
* Strong software engineering fundamentals (not pure research)
Strong positive signals:
* Solid tenures at companies running ML/AI at real scale
* Clear career progression into senior AI technical responsibility
* Background in production ML platforms or high-traffic AI products
🏗 Team & environment
* Small, high-calibre engineering team (~8 engineers)
* Fast-paced, high-ownership culture
* Serious technical ambition — strong people to learn from, but expectations are high
* Backed by recent oversubscribed funding and a very strong customer pipeline
💰 Package
* Senior: ~£100k–£125k
* Staff: up to ~£130k (target level)
* Meaningful equity at an early stage
* Clear growth trajectory as the company scales toward Series A
If you're an AI engineer who thrives on turning models into products, building robust ML systems, and technical leadership, this is a rare opportunity to get in early and have genuine influence.
