Full Description

Research Scientist – AI/ML

Stealth AI Company (Backed by Leading Investors)

We are supporting a confidential, well-funded AI company building next-generation systems at the frontier of machine learning research and applied AI. The company is solving complex, real-world problems using cutting-edge techniques in large-scale model training, optimisation, and deployment. This is an opportunity for a Research Scientist to join an exceptional team working at the intersection of research and production-grade AI systems.

About the Role

As a Research Scientist, you will contribute directly to the development of novel AI/ML methodologies and their application in real-world systems. You will work closely with other researchers and engineers to design experiments, develop models, and translate research breakthroughs into scalable products.

The role sits within a highly technical environment where research rigor and practical impact are equally valued.

What You’ll Be Doing

* Conducting research in machine learning, deep learning, and/or foundation models

* Designing and running experiments to test new hypotheses and model architectures

* Developing and improving state-of-the-art models for real-world applications

* Collaborating with engineers to bring research into production systems

* Analysing large-scale datasets to derive insights and improve model performance

* Publishing internal and potentially external research where appropriate

* Staying current with the latest developments in AI/ML research

What We’re Looking For

* Strong academic or industry background in Machine Learning, AI, Computer Science, or a related field

* Experience building or researching deep learning models at scale

* Strong programming skills in Python and experience with ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch or TensorFlow)

* Strong understanding of modern ML techniques (e.g. transformers, diffusion models, or large language models)

* Ability to translate research ideas into practical implementations

* Experience working in fast-paced research or startup environments is highly desirable

Why This Role?

* Work on cutting-edge AI problems at the frontier of the field

* Join a highly talented, research-driven team

* Significant scope for ownership and impact

* Opportunity to shape next-generation AI systems from the ground up

* Backing from leading investors and strong technical leadership

If you are excited by pushing the boundaries of AI research and building systems that have real-world impact, we would love to hear from you.
