Founding Machine Learning Research Scientists/Engineers (AI 4 Science)

🚀 We're hiring: Machine Learning Research Engineers & Scientists | AI for Science | LondonGenerative is thrilled to be partnering with one of Europe's most exciting AI-native startups, building an autonomous AI platform to fundamentally reinvent how new materials are discovered.Rather than relying on simulations alone, the company is combining frontier machine learning with a high-throughput experimental laboratory to create a closed-loop discovery platform: AI proposes new materials, experiments validate them, and real-world results continuously improve the models.Backed by $60M from leading global investors, the company has assembled an exceptional team spanning AI, physics, materials science and engineering. As it scales its research organisation, we're looking to connect with outstanding ML researchers and engineers across two areas:1. Generative ModellingResearchers and engineers with hands-on experience building and training generative models at scale, including diffusion models, flow matching and autoregressive architectures. Experience in materials science, molecular generation or protein design is a bonus, but deep technical expertise in generative modelling and large-scale training matters most.2. Discovery Loops & OptimisationResearchers working on the algorithms that intelligently search complex design spaces. Relevant experience includes LLM-driven program or agent search (AlphaEvolve/FunSearch-style approaches), evolutionary computation, Bayesian optimisation, active learning or reinforcement learning for design. Experience building closed-loop discovery systems in drug discovery, protein engineering or other scientific domains is also highly relevant.Why join?🧠 Work on genuinely novel problems at the frontier of AI and scientific discovery.🔬 Help build an autonomous AI scientist combining advanced ML with real-world experimentation.🚀 Join an exceptionally well-funded company at an early stage, with significant technical ownership and the opportunity to shape its research direction from day one.📍 London | Hybrid workingIf you're excited by the challenge of building AI systems that can discover things we haven't yet imagined, I'd love to hear from you.📩 Get in touch directly to learn more.
