Role purpose
Start date: Tuesday 31st August 2027
We are looking for exceptional graduate machine learning engineers to work alongside our quantitative researchers on cutting-edge machine learning problems.
As a graduate within the Technical Machine Learning team, you will be engaged in a mixture of individual and collaborative work to tackle some of the toughest research questions.
You will also use a combination of off-the-shelf tools and custom solutions written from scratch to drive the latest advances in quantitative research.
Key Responsibilities of the role include
What does the technical machine learning team work on?
- Implementing ideas from published research papers
- Writing custom libraries to efficiently train models on petabytes of data
- Reducing model training times by hand optimising machine learning operations
- Profiling custom ML architectures to identify performance bottlenecks
- Evaluating the latest hardware and software in the machine learning ecosystem
