Lead Machine Learning Engineer
Location: London (Hybrid)
Salary: Highly Competitive + Benefits
We’re partnered with an innovative AI company building world-class technology that powers real-time voice and audio intelligence. Their products use deep learning and signal processing to isolate speech, eliminate background noise, and enhance communication clarity across enterprise, consumer, and high-performance sectors.
They’re now looking for a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to take a hands-on leadership role within their R&D team. This position combines technical ownership and strategic direction, guiding the research, development, and deployment of machine learning models for real-time speech enhancement.
Responsibilities:
* Lead the design, training, and optimisation of ML models for speech separation and noise reduction.
* Provide technical leadership and mentorship to a small, high-performing engineering team.
* Bridge research and production — ensuring scalable, low-latency model deployment.
* Collaborate cross-functionally with software and product teams to integrate ML systems into live products.
* Contribute to the company’s long-term AI strategy and technical roadmap.
Requirements:
* MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Machine Learning, or Signal Processing.
* Proven experience in leading or mentoring ML/AI engineering teams.
* Deep understanding of digital signal processing and speech/audio modelling.
* Proficiency with Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow, and modern ML frameworks.
* Track record of delivering production-grade ML systems with measurable performance improvements.
* Experience with low-latency inference and model optimisation (ONNX, TensorRT, quantisation) is highly desirable.
This is an opportunity to take ownership of the machine learning function within a growing AI company, driving innovation in real-time communication and audio intelligence.
