Applied ML Scientist

Applied ML Scientist | London (Hybrid 1 day a week) | £80K–£110K + Equity

I'm recruiting for a small, Series A-funded AI company (~30 people) applying reinforcement learning to industrial energy systems in production, not in simulation. Their approach keeps sensitive customer data on-site, which is a genuine technical differentiator in the space. Deployments deliver significant, measurable energy savings for customers with fast payback.

What you'll be doing:

• Designing and training RL agents for live control problems
• Reward engineering, state design, and safety constraint handling
• Working across the full pipeline — from training through to on-site inference
• Contributing to a real research agenda alongside academic partners

What they need:

• 3–5 years deploying deep RL agents in Python
• Comfortable at the intersection of ML and physical systems
• Happy working in a small team where research and production sit side by side

Hybrid — 1 day/week in Central London.
