Staff Machine Learning Engineer — AI-native productivity, stealth
Fully remote, UK-based candidates preferred.
TL;DR
- Founding-team Staff MLE at a well-funded stealth AI company
- Product: AI-native productivity — starting with email, expanding into notes, tasks, calendar
- Own the full model lifecycle: data, training, evaluation, inference, deployment
- US$100M initial funding, internally backed, no VC pressure
- Cash + meaningful founding-team equity
- Fully remote
The play
Email, calendar, notes, tasks. The tools 5 billion people run their lives on. None of them are AI-native. Every attempt so far has been a bolt-on — a copilot button, a summary at the top of the thread. This company is building the layer underneath: proactive, context-aware, capable of running long workflows, completing real tasks, and asking before it acts. First product is AI-native email. The goal: cut four hours a day in the inbox down to thirty minutes. Email first. Productivity suite next.
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.
The role, first 12 months
- Own the execution layer of the company's intelligence — turning research and model capabilities into reliable, scalable production systems.
- Build and evolve fine-tuning pipelines for large models.
- Design evaluation systems that measure real-world capability, robustness, and safety — not benchmark vanity.
- Architect high-performance inference infrastructure: latency, GPU utilisation, memory, cost.
- Build data pipelines for high-quality real-world and synthetic training data.
- Bridge research and application engineering so model improvements actually reach users.
The bar
Read this before you DM.
- Production ML systems you've built and shipped — not prototypes, not research demos, real products with real users
- Deep understanding of large-model training, fine-tuning, evaluation, and inference
- Experience running GPU-based ML workloads at meaningful scale
- Strong software engineering fundamentals — you write production-grade code and you care about correctness
- Comfortable reasoning about failure modes, model degradation, and what happens when things go wrong in the wild
- Independent judgment — you can navigate ambiguity and make pragmatic trade-offs without being hand-held
Get help with your application
Your very own career expert that helps elevate your application to the next level.
Who this isn't for
- ML engineers who've only ever worked in notebooks.
- Researchers chasing publications.
- Anyone who needs a stable, well-defined system before they can contribute. This is a hands-on, high-ownership role in a pre-launch team moving fast.
If the bar above doesn't quite match where you are today — no worries. Save your energy for the role that does.
The rest
Everything else — who they are, who's behind it, comp and equity detail — is a call.
DM me if this is you, or if you know the person it should be.
