§ 01: ROLES

Six ways to build the data layer for physical AI

Roles across engineering, machine learning, data operations, design, business development and office operations. Every role is hands-on, early-stage and close to the work that makes our datasets real. These positions are currently closed, we're not actively hiring right now.

Software Engineer

ENGINEERING
LocationLondon (Hybrid) / UK DepartmentEngineering TypeFull-time · Permanent

A full-stack software engineer role at an early-stage deep-tech AI startup in London. You will build the Jobbit platform that books and runs real-world tasks, and the internal tooling and pipelines that turn how physical work actually gets done into training, fine-tuning and evaluation data for AI labs and robotics teams. This is hands-on TypeScript/React/Node work on edge infrastructure, with a short path from your commit to production.

What you’ll do

  • Ship full-stack features across the Jobbit platform (https://jobbit.uk): front end in React/Next.js, back end in Node/TypeScript on Cloudflare's edge
  • Build and maintain the internal tooling and data pipelines that ingest, clean, label and version real-world task data into datasets
  • Design and implement APIs and services that move task data reliably from capture through to dataset delivery
  • Own data plumbing end to end: schemas, validation, storage (D1/KV/R2), queues and scheduled jobs
  • Write pragmatic tests, instrument what you ship, and keep the system observable in production
  • Work directly with data operations and ML colleagues to turn messy real-world inputs into clean, queryable datasets
  • Help drive sign-ups and engagement on jobbit.uk, including the flows around the CV-drafting AI assistant
  • Review peers' code, keep the codebase lean, and make sensible build-vs-buy calls at startup pace

What we’re looking for

  • Strong full-stack engineering with TypeScript across the stack, plus solid React (Next.js a bonus)
  • Comfortable building and consuming production APIs and the data plumbing behind them
  • Pragmatic about data: schema design, validation, and moving data between services reliably
  • You write code that is readable, tested where it matters, and observable once it ships
  • Able to own a feature from idea to production with light supervision
  • Happy with ambiguity and changing priorities: you scope, ship and iterate rather than wait for a spec
  • Clear written communication and a collaborative, low-ego working style
  • Right to work in the UK and able to work hybrid from our London office (124 City Road, EC1V 2NX)

Nice to have

  • Experience with Cloudflare Workers, Pages, D1, KV, R2 or other edge/serverless platforms
  • Background in data pipelines, ETL/ELT, or dataset tooling for ML
  • Exposure to physical/embodied AI, robotics data, or world models
  • Early employee experience at a startup, or a side project you shipped end to end
  • Familiarity with queues, workflows and durable/scheduled execution

Machine Learning Engineer (World Models)

ENGINEERING · ML
LocationLondon (Hybrid) / UK DepartmentEngineering · ML TypeFull-time · Permanent

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Jobbit Labs, you train and evaluate world models on the proprietary real-world, multimodal data we record of physical work actually getting done, then turn it into training, fine-tuning and evaluation signal for AI labs, robotics teams and enterprises. This is a research-leaning role that ships: you will work hands-on in Python and PyTorch on vision-language-action and multimodal models, sim-to-real, and embeddings, and own the data and eval pipelines that prove a model is getting better. A strong fit for anyone searching for machine learning engineer jobs in the UK who wants physical and embodied AI problems at an early-stage deep-tech company, not another wrapper around someone else's API.

What you’ll do

  • Train, fine-tune and evaluate world models and vision-language-action (VLA) models on our real-world multimodal datasets (video, audio, motion, language)
  • Build and maintain reproducible data and evaluation pipelines that turn raw recordings of physical work into clean training, fine-tuning and benchmark sets
  • Design eval suites and metrics that measure whether a model actually understands physical tasks, and make regressions impossible to miss
  • Run sim-to-real experiments and close the loop between simulated environments and recorded real-world behaviour
  • Develop and probe embeddings and representations of multimodal physical-work data for retrieval, clustering and downstream training
  • Profile and optimise PyTorch training runs for throughput, memory and cost on GPU infrastructure
  • Read the relevant literature, prototype quickly, and turn promising research ideas into production-grade, shippable code
  • Work closely with the data operations and product teams to specify what new data we should capture and how it should be labelled
  • Document experiments, datasets and model behaviour clearly so results are trustworthy and repeatable

What we’re looking for

  • Strong Python and hands-on PyTorch experience training and evaluating deep learning models end to end
  • Solid grounding in modern ML: transformers, multimodal/vision-language models, embeddings and representation learning
  • Experience building data and evaluation pipelines: you treat datasets and benchmarks as first-class engineering artefacts, not afterthoughts
  • Comfort reading research papers and reimplementing or adapting methods into working code
  • A bias to ship: you can take an idea from notebook to a tested, maintainable training or eval pipeline
  • Sound engineering fundamentals: version control, testing, reproducibility, clean code
  • Clear written and verbal communication about experiments, trade-offs and results
  • Based in the UK and able to work from our London office (124 City Road, EC1V 2NX) on a hybrid basis

Nice to have

  • Experience with vision-language-action models, robotics learning, or embodied/physical AI
  • Familiarity with sim-to-real transfer, simulation environments, or imitation/reinforcement learning
  • Experience handling large-scale video or multimodal datasets and the tooling around them
  • Distributed/multi-GPU training experience and performance optimisation
  • A relevant publication, open-source contribution, or strong portfolio in ML; early-career and recent graduate candidates with the right depth are welcome to apply

  • Run QA passes on annotated data and own the metrics that define what 'high quality' means for our datasets
  • Design, write and maintain annotation guidelines, taxonomies and labelling schemas, and keep them versioned as the data evolves
  • Build and operate annotation workflows: defining tasks, routing batches, and managing throughput and turnaround
  • Spot-check, audit and resolve edge cases, ambiguous labels and inter-annotator disagreements
  • Work closely with engineers to improve labelling tooling, surface friction and shape the data pipeline
  • Track data provenance, consent and licensing so every record is clean and compliant
  • Report on dataset coverage, quality and gaps to the data and research teams

What we’re looking for

  • Hands-on experience in data operations, data annotation, data QA or a data-labelling/curation role
  • A sharp eye for detail and a genuine instinct for what makes data clean, consistent and trustworthy
  • Comfort writing clear annotation guidelines and turning fuzzy real-world cases into precise, repeatable rules
  • Working knowledge of SQL or spreadsheets for slicing, auditing and reporting on datasets
  • Experience with annotation or labelling tools (e.g. CVAT, Label Studio, or similar)
  • Strong written communication and the discipline to document decisions as you go
  • Comfortable operating with ambiguity and shifting priorities in an early-stage environment
  • British English fluency and right to work in the UK

Nice to have

  • Experience labelling multimodal data: video, audio, sensor or pose data
  • Familiarity with computer vision, robotics or embodied/physical AI datasets
  • Basic Python for scripting QA checks, transforms or data audits
  • Experience managing or coordinating a pool of annotators or reviewers
  • Exposure to data provenance, consent or licensing in a regulated or sensitive-data setting
