Junior Machine Learning Developer

Role Summary

An exciting opportunity to start a career with a diverse and fast-growing team, developing your skills on a variety of innovative projects.

We’re looking for someone with a strong interest in Machine Learning (ML), Large Language Models (LLMs), and Artificial Intelligence (AI) more broadly to join our ML team. You don’t need to know everything from day one, but curiosity, a willingness to learn, and a hands-on mindset are key.

Responsibilities

• You will help create and test software within a skilled team that likes getting things done.
• You will learn a range of current and new technologies from experienced software engineers.
• You will be given increasing responsibility for elements of each project as you continue to prove yourself.

There is significant scope to adapt the exact role to your skills and interests, but in the first instance you will spend time developing, evaluating and improving ML models to detect and classify items within footage from video, thermal, and other sensors, under the supervision and guidance of senior engineers. You’ll also be involved in deploying new ML-based services into production environments.

You’ll gain experience of relevant technologies such as:

• Python for data science and ML
• Computer Vision, including OpenCV
• Model training, evaluation – accuracy, precision, recall, F1, dataset management
• Object detection, image classification, segmentation, depth estimation, anomaly detection
• Docker/containerisation.

Personal Qualities and Experience

You are someone who enjoys learning new skills, finding out things and also learning from mistakes. We’d like you to be reliable, curious, and ready to deal with problems and get them solved. We strongly encourage those from under-represented groups to be confident in applying to us.

You do not need to have any formal experience working in software, but you should be able to demonstrate your interest by having done something or worked on a ‘passion project’ yourself. You might have developed an object detection model, or built and trained an image classifier, or used OpenCV or similar to detect specific objects from a real-time feed, or some other relevant activity. You should have some familiarity with at least one general purpose programming language.

You will also be keen to contribute ideas to both the business development and the social side of the company.

Successful candidates will need to pass a BPSS (Baseline Personnel Security Standard) check as part of the onboarding process.

You would be a valued part of a small but growing team where your ideas and opinions are valued as we continue the exciting journey of One Big Circle.
