Job Description
Are you an AI Research Scientist passionate about using LLMs and machine learning to reshape how organisations understand people?
We’re looking for a curious and pragmatic AI Research Scientist to join a remote team building the next generation of AI-powered insight tools. You’ll be working on a real-world research platform already in production — now expanding into new territory with retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and intelligent automation.
In this role, you’ll help reimagine how unstructured and structured data from large-scale surveys and discussions can be turned into clear, actionable insight using advanced AI. From redesigning RAG stacks to building AI-powered report writers and secure vector stores, you’ll be solving rich, challenging problems at the intersection of NLP, data infrastructure, and human understanding.
Whether you’ve shipped AI features before or have strong personal research and projects, this is a chance to shape products used by real researchers and clients every day.
What’s in it for you?
Human-Centred AI : Build tools that help researchers analyse real human thoughts, opinions, and behaviours — at scale.
