Enthusiasm to learn and get up to speed with cutting-edge technologies which you may not already be deeply familiar with.

Ability to communicate complex research both written and verbal.

Familiarity with cloud platforms such as AWS and GCP.

Proficiency in data analysis techniques.

Use of Python libraries that encourage best practices such as pytest, pylint, black etc.


Desirable:

Experience utilising & deploying transformer models

ML Ops

Docker, K8s

Start-up experience


Location:

We are currently operating a hybrid scheme with a small office near Holborn tube station available to anyone who wants to work there. We also have occasional team days where everyone meets face to face and days where people work heads down from home, communicating with colleagues using Slack and Zoom.
