Full Job Description

Senior Machine Learning Engineer (NLP) – Startup LLM - £150k +equity – Remote (UK/EU)

Are you an expert in NLP/LLM?

Are you passionate about building groundbreaking technology and shaping the future of AI?

Do you dream of starting a company from the ground up? If so, we have the perfect opportunity for you.

The challenge

The rise of AI has skyrocketed demand for computational power. However, current solutions are expensive and dominated by large corporations. We're tackling this challenge by building a decentralized marketplace for compute power specifically designed for large language models (LLMs) with billions of parameters.

We’re a US HQ’d Web3 incubator, founded by a successful tech entrepreneur, which has grown to 30 people and we’re looking for a Senior NLP Engineer to be part of the founding team, joining our CEO, CTO, COO and Principal Engineer.

About you

You’ll draw on your experience as a NLP/AI Engineer to drive the design of the platform and tailor it to be most efficient for LLMs.

You’ll have experience building large models, fine-tuning and training them along with a strong theoretical understanding of how they optimise them you’ll be familiar with things like swarm parallelism and understand how to reduce active parameters. You’ll be able to predict the consequences of taking particular shortcuts, define memory footprint and estimate how cache will increase to be able to design the right optimisations.

The platform will be built on Blockchain technology, but we’re not expecting you to have experience with this. What we are looking for is:

• A solid background in Foundational NLP
• At least 3 years’ experience of hands on developing, training and deploying NLP models
• Familiar with quantization techniques and LLM inference servers such as multi-LoRA.
• Experience working with some of the more recent LLMs (OpenAI, Anthropic, Claude, LLaMA etc)

You’ll be a founding member of the team that have secured $2.5 million dollars pre-seed, and will receive equity in the business as it spins out on its own and grows. You’ll be working remotely, with others in the team being spread across, US (East Coast), Dubai and Europe.

Please note : you must be eligible to work in the UK or EU to be considered for this position.
