Senior Research Engineer - Machine Learning & Generative AI
12-month contract | £81,000-£90,000 | London | Hybrid - 3 days onsite
We're hiring an experienced Senior Research Engineer to join a world-leading technology organisation working at the frontier of AI and machine learning research.
This is an unusually research-heavy engineering opportunity. You'll be embedded directly within a cutting-edge AI research team, working on areas including large language models, reinforcement learning, synthetic data, multi-agent systems and AI agents, while also building the robust infrastructure needed to support complex research experiments.
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.
Non-negotiable skills:
- 5-7 years' relevant experience, with strong hands-on Machine Learning/AI expertise.
- Strong Python programming skills - a core non-negotiable.
- Proven experience developing machine learning models at scale, ideally within a leading technology company, AI research lab or similarly sophisticated environment.
- Experience writing production-quality software and running complex experiments involving large AI models and datasets.
- Strong scientific/research mindset - able to investigate not just whether an approach works, but why.
- Comfortable working at pace in a highly ambiguous research environment where priorities can change rapidly.
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Experience that would be particularly valuable:
- Experience with PyTorch, LLMs, LLM post-training, reinforcement learning, generative AI, or multi-agent systems.
- A research-focused Master's or PhD in AI/ML is advantageous but not essential.
Deadline for this role is Monday the 14th of September, apply today!
