Machine Learning Engineer

About

VC-backed London startup building a next-generation marketplace platform

You will join a high-growth London team to spearhead the implementation of advanced computer vision models. As a key technical hire, you will bridge the gap between data science and product, developing visual search, verification, or merchandising systems that redefine the user experience within a rapidly scaling commerce ecosystem.

Why this role is remarkable

• Significant technical ownership to shape the vision strategy of a scaling marketplace platform from an early stage.
• Work in a high-density talent environment located in the heart of Shoreditch with a hybrid 3-4 day office culture.
• Opportunity to transition between research and production, applying cutting-edge CV models to real-world consumer problems.

What You Will Do

• Design, train, and deploy computer vision models for applications such as object detection, image verification, or automated merchandising.
• Collaborate with product and engineering teams to integrate ML features into the core platform to drive user engagement.
• Optimize model performance and scalability to handle high-traffic commerce environments and diverse visual datasets.

The ideal candidate

• Proven expertise in computer vision technologies, including experience with object detection, image classification, or visual search.
• Strong background as a Machine Learning Engineer or Data Scientist with a track record of moving models into production.
• Proficiency in modern ML frameworks (such as PyTorch or TensorFlow) and a desire to work in a fast-paced startup environment.
