Junior / Mid-Level Machine Learning Engineer (Accepting Grads also)
Location: Fully Remote, Scotland based candidates only
Salary: Up to £50,000
Recruitment Partner: Searchability
The Opportunity
Searchability is working with a growing AI technology startup to recruit a Junior / Mid-Level Machine Learning Engineer.
The company is developing an AI-powered platform that helps organisations find and win funding and contracts, using AI and machine learning to identify relevant opportunities and support the process of creating applications and bids.
This is a particularly good opportunity for someone who wants to build their career within AI/ML in an early-stage startup environment. We're open to candidates ranging from high-calibre graduates through to ML Engineers with a few years of commercial experience.
The role is fully remote, but you must be based in Scotland.
The Role
You'll join a small technical team where you'll have the opportunity to work on real-world machine learning problems and contribute directly to the development of the company's AI platform.
Rather than being restricted to one small part of a large engineering organisation, you'll have the opportunity to get involved across the ML lifecycle, learn quickly and see your work make it into a customer-facing product.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
We're particularly interested in people who are curious, ambitious and hungry to develop, and who genuinely want the pace and responsibility that comes with working for a startup/scale-up.
What You'll Be Doing
- Developing and improving machine learning and AI capabilities
- Working primarily with Python and ML technologies
- Contributing to NLP and language-focused machine learning problems
- Working with data to train, test and improve models
- Helping turn ML ideas and experiments into features used within a real product
- Evaluating model performance and identifying opportunities for improvement
- Working closely with experienced engineers and the wider business
- Researching and experimenting with new approaches where appropriate
- Taking increasing ownership of technical problems as you develop
- Keeping up to date with developments across AI, ML and LLM technologies
What We're Looking For
We're flexible on professional experience and will consider both graduates and experienced Junior/Mid-Level ML Engineers.
You'll ideally have:
- A strong academic background in Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, Mathematics, Physics, Engineering or another highly technical subject
- Good Python programming ability
- Understanding of fundamental machine learning concepts
- Exposure to technologies such as PyTorch, TensorFlow or similar ML frameworks
- An interest in NLP, LLMs and modern AI technologies
- Strong problem-solving and analytical ability
- A genuine desire to build commercial AI products
- The motivation to learn quickly and take ownership
- An interest in working within an early-stage startup/scale-up environment
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
For graduate candidates, we're particularly interested in seeing strong academic projects, dissertations, internships, research or personal projects demonstrating practical ML ability.
For candidates with commercial experience, hands-on experience developing, deploying or improving ML models in production would be highly valuable.
What's on Offer
- Salary up to £50,000
- Fully remote working
