Do you have 4+ years of hands-on ML experience and enjoy deploying models into production?

Have you worked with GenAI / LLMs and modern ML tooling in real systems?

Are you interested in crypto, blockchain, and applying ML to complex on-chain data?


A Series B, high-growth SaaS platform delivering institutional-grade blockchain intelligence is hiring a Senior AI/ML Engineer. Often described as the Bloomberg for crypto, the platform helps investors discover opportunities, perform due diligence, and defend portfolios using AI-driven insights.


This is a senior, hands-on role for someone strong across data science, applied ML, and cloud deployment, who wants to work in a lean team with real ownership.


Why join?

You’ll join a small, senior AI/ML team working on core product features such as:

  • Large-scale wallet labelling and behavioural analysis
  • NFT price estimation using ML
  • Trading and risk signals built on blockchain data


The environment is fast-moving, product-led, and AI-first, with genuine room to shape how ML is applied across the platform.


Requirements

  • 4-7+ years of professional experience in Data Science / ML roles
  • Strong data science foundations (EDA, feature engineering, model evaluation, validation)
  • Hands-on experience with ML models in production
  • Cloud & MLOps exposure (GCP preferred; AWS/Azure acceptable)
  • Experience with GenAI / LLMs (commercial or serious hands-on experimentation)
  • Strong Python and modern ML tooling (e.g. scikit-learn, XGBoost, TensorFlow or PyTorch)
  • Clear interest in crypto / blockchain (commercial experience a plus, curiosity required)


Responsibilities

  • Build, train, and improve ML models on large-scale blockchain datasets
  • Take models from exploration to production, working closely with engineering
  • Apply GenAI / LLM approaches where they add real product value
  • Maintain high DS/ML standards across experimentation, monitoring, and iteration
  • Contribute to best practices in a lean, senior AI team


Key details

  • Salary: up to ~£135k base + equity (4-year vest, 1-year cliff) + bonus
  • Location: Fully remote (UK)
  • Stack: Python, GCP, ML frameworks, LLM APIs
  • Visa: Cannot sponsor
  • Team: Senior, small, highly technical


If you’re a senior ML engineer with strong DS fundamentals, real deployment experience, and a genuine interest in crypto, this is a high-impact role with a lot of ownership.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Blockchain Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers in blockchain tech do not start by reading every line of your CV. They scan for credibility, clarity and relevance, and they make an early judgement about whether you can solve real problems in a cutting-edge, evolving landscape. In blockchain and distributed ledger roles—whether in core protocol teams, smart contract development, Web3 infrastructure, compliance/security, or product-focused positions—the strongest applications make the right signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This in-depth guide explains exactly what hiring managers in UK blockchain jobs look for first, how they assess CVs, cover letters and portfolios, and why strong candidates sometimes get overlooked. Use it as a practical checklist before you apply for roles on www.blockchainjobs.uk

The Skills Gap in Blockchain Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Blockchain technology has moved far beyond cryptocurrency headlines. Across finance, supply chains, cybersecurity, gaming, digital identity, healthcare, and public infrastructure, distributed ledger technology is being explored, tested and deployed at scale. Yet despite growing adoption, blockchain employers across the UK consistently report the same problem: a severe shortage of job-ready talent. Graduates emerge with theoretical knowledge, computer science fundamentals, or an interest in decentralisation—but struggle to meet the practical demands of blockchain roles. Vacancies remain open. Startups compete aggressively for experienced hires. Employers spend months searching for candidates who can contribute from day one. The issue is not intelligence. It is not motivation. It is not even demand. The problem is a widening skills gap between blockchain education and real blockchain jobs. This article explores that gap in depth: what universities teach well, what they routinely miss, why the gap exists, what UK employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build sustainable careers in blockchain.
