Job title: Senior Software Engineer – Computer Vision / Autonomous Machinery

Job type: Permanent

Salary: Negotiable + Stock Options

Role Location: London (onsite)

The company: Leading Robotics Innovator!


Role and responsibilities:

I’m looking to recruit a Senior Software Engineer to join the R&D team of a cutting-edge robotics firm. This is an opportunity to work alongside world-class talent from Tesla, Google DeepMind, NVIDIA, and more, building systems that push the boundaries of computer vision, deep learning, and autonomous machinery.


What You’ll Be Doing:

  • Training policies using representation learning, behaviour cloning, and reinforcement learning—taking models from data to deployment.

  • Building pipelines that fuse vision, language, audio, proprioception, and 3D data into unified learning systems.

  • Scaling distributed training frameworks and optimising models for real-time edge inference.

  • Helping shape the way intelligent systems learn and act in the real world.


Job requirements:

  • 3+ years’ experience developing deep learning systems, with shipped models or published research.

  • Hands-on expertise with Vision-Language Models (VLMs), LLMs, or generative models.

  • Strong skills in Python + PyTorch or JAX (debugging, profiling, shipping).

  • Passion for bridging the gap between simulation and real-world deployment.

  • Previous experience in autonomous vehicle or machinery systems is highly desirable.
