The Role: Machine Learning Engineer (Visual Specialist)
We're looking for a hands-on Visual Specialist Machine Learning Engineer who lives and breathes generative AI—especially for image and video generation. You’ll work with bleeding-edge models (think SDXL, Flux, WAN 2.1), optimise inference for real-time performance, and help us scale our back-end for millions of users. You will be creating lifelike Ai Characters through text, voice and images. Working under the guidance of their AI Visual Lead, this role would be ideal for a someone with 3+ years of experience.

What You’ll Be Doing

Optimise cutting-edge visual models (Flux, WAN 2.1, SDXL)
Scale inference with low-latency, GPU-optimised infrastructure
Train custom models on domain-specific datasets
Write clean, scalable Python code for model and platform integration

⚠️ Note: You’ll be working with large multimedia datasets that include NSFW/adult content so must be happy working in this environment.

Skills required:
3+ years in GenAI-focused ML engineering experience ideally on Multimodal AI (text, voice, image, video)
A PhD or MSc from a top University in Machine learning or related subjects.
Strong experience with visual AI models such as Stable Diffusion, Flux, WAN 2.1, or similar
Fluency with PyTorch, JAX or TensorFlow
GPU inference optimisation (CUDA, PEFT, Bits And Bytes)
Docker/Kubernetes deployment experience desirable but not essential.
Strong Python and back-end engineering skills
Ability to deliver production-ready visual models, performance-constrained applications

Location – Primarily remote (UK only) with some visits to the London office required / Hybrid working also available.

Salary: £65,000 - £85,000 + benefits and Stock options possible

Be part of a rapidly growing and well-funded AI startup, working on cutting edge, innovative visual technologies

Apply today for immediate consideration and interview in the next week.

N.B. You will need to be confortable working with Ai based NSFW / Adult content

How Many Robotics Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Robotics Job?

If you’re pursuing a career in robotics, it can feel like the list of tools you should learn never ends. One job advert asks for ROS, another mentions Gazebo, another wants experience with Python, Linux, C++, RobotStudio, MATLAB/Simulink, perception stacks, control frameworks, real-time OS, vision libraries — and that’s just scratching the surface. With so many frameworks, languages and platforms, it’s no wonder robotics job seekers feel overwhelmed. But here’s the honest truth most recruiters won’t say explicitly: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool — they hire you because you can apply the right tools to solve real robotics problems reliably and explain your reasoning clearly. Tools matter — but only in service of outcomes. So the real question isn’t how many tools you should know, but which tools you should master and why. For most robotics roles, the answer is significantly fewer — and far more focused — than you might assume. This article breaks down what employers really expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to focus your learning so you look capable, confident, and ready to contribute from day one.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Robotics Job Applications (UK Guide)

Robotics is one of the most dynamic, interdisciplinary fields in technology — blending mechanical systems, embedded software, controls, perception (AI/vision), modelling, simulation and systems integration. Hiring managers in this space are highly selective because robotics teams need people who can solve real-world problems under constraints, work across disciplines, and deliver safe, reliable systems. And here’s the reality: hiring managers do not read every word of your CV. Like in many tech domains, they scan quickly — often forming a judgement in the first 10–20 seconds. In robotics, those first signals are especially important because the work is complex and there’s a wide range of candidate backgrounds. This guide unpacks exactly what hiring managers look for first in robotics applications and how to optimise your CV, portfolio and cover letter so you stand out in the UK market.

The Skills Gap in Robotics Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Robotics is no longer confined to science fiction or isolated research labs. Today, robots perform critical tasks across manufacturing, healthcare, logistics, agriculture, defence, hospitality and even education. In the UK, businesses are embracing automation to improve productivity, reduce costs and tackle labour shortages. Yet despite strong interest and a growing number of university programmes in robotics, many employers report a persistent problem: graduates are not job-ready for real-world robotics roles. This is not a question of intelligence or dedication. It is a widening skills gap between what universities teach and what employers actually need in robotics jobs. In this article, we’ll explore that gap in depth — what universities do well, where their programmes often fall short, why the disconnect exists, what employers really want, and how you can bridge the divide to build a thriving career in robotics.
