Artificial Intelligence Engineer

Join a world-leading cybercrime SaaS organisation in an exciting Senior/Principal AI Engineer role to deliver robust and impactful AI-based solutions to advance threat detection efficiency.

Our client is headquartered in the UK and, whilst being well-established with significant sector success behind them, serving the largest names globally across the banking and government spaces amongst others, they are very much in ‘scale up’ mode and are looking to advance their capabilities, increase the quality of their offering and evolve their platform.

Required experience for the Senior/Principal AI Engineer role:

• Machine learning (ML), deep learning and statistical analysis skills – even better if these skills have been applied to threat detection, malware analysis, phishing and/or abuse detection.
• Experience building production-grade AI pipelines, including data ingestion, feature engineering, validation, model deployment, and monitoring.
• Experience designing and implementing anomaly detection, classification, clustering, and retrieval across vision and language models, ideally for identifying cyber threats (URLs, domains, phishing, botnets, etc.)
• Proficient in a major backend language (ideally Golang) and related ML/AI libraries (e.g. Tensorflow & PyTorch, etc.)
• Experience with an MLOps platform like Kubeflow.
• Demonstrated ability to transition models from prototype to production.
• Experience assessing various AI/ML technologies and models for fit to problem space, including scenarios where RAG is applicable.
• Incident response experience, and ability to work with large, noisy, and rapidly evolving threat datasets.
• Strong background in cloud engineering and containerisation (Docker, Kubernetes) with experience deploying AI services at scale, particularly on AWS via Terraform.

The package offered to the Senior/Principal AI Engineer will consist of a salary of up to circa £115,000 with a hybrid working set up requiring weekly presence in the Central London office (with free meals, drinks and snacks provided daily in the office) and regular social events, and benefits including a generous holiday allowance as well as additional paid days off for volunteering, private healthcare, enhanced parenting leave and more.
