Machine Learning Engineer, AI Startup (Edinburgh, hybrid, UK-wide considered)
An early-stage AI infrastructure company building a persistent, high-speed knowledge layer for agentic AI, letting thousands of AI agents query a shared knowledge base concurrently. Spinning out of a leading UK university, currently hardware-led and building out its software capability from scratch.
The role:
Own the software-side modelling and benchmarking that proves the system works, working closely with the CTO.
What You’ll Do
- Own the software model (“digital twin”) used to evaluate system behaviour ahead of dedicated hardware
- Build agentic AI and GraphRAG workloads showing measurable system-level improvements
- Build and maintain a benchmark suite (latency, GPU utilisation, token reduction, throughput, cost per query)
- Design experiments isolating the impact of the semantic memory layer on inference performance
- Develop enterprise knowledge graph datasets and evaluation methodologies
- Work with hardware/systems teams to keep software models aligned with hardware capability
- Generate evidence to support pilots, fundraising, and technical validation

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.
