Join a sme AI & Technology company as a Senior AI Research Scientist in Liverpool.
AI development has moved past the hype stage.
Companies now need people who can take research out of the lab and into production, and that shift has created a shortage of scientists who understand both the theory and the engineering reality.
This SME has built a solid reputation in AI & Technology over several years of steady growth, and it's now looking for a Senior AI Research Scientist to help shape what comes next.
The team is small enough that your work won't get lost in committee, but structured enough that you'll have proper support, clear processes and room to specialise.
Here's what you'll be doing:
Design and run experiments to test new model architectures and training approaches
Translate research findings into production-ready AI systems, working closely with engineering
Review and critique technical papers to keep the team's approach grounded in current methods
Mentor junior researchers and give technical direction on live projects
Present findings and recommendations to stakeholders who aren't always technical
Own model performance from first experiment through to deployment and monitoring
Here are the skills you'll need:
Strong background in machine learning, deep learning or a closely related research field
Hands-on experience building and deploying models at scale,



not just in notebooks
Comfortable explaining complex technical decisions to non-technical colleagues
Track record of leading projects or mentoring more junior team members
Solid Python and the usual ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, or similar)
Genuine curiosity.
The best researchers here keep asking "why" long after everyone else has stopped
Key perks and advantages:
£62,500 to £95,500, depending on experience, plus bonus scheme
Hybrid working, split between home and the Liverpool office
Private medical insurance and strong pension contributions
Generous annual leave with flexible working built in, not bolted on
Real professional development budget, not just a line in the handbook
Why pursue a career in AI & Technology?
AI & Technology is one of the few sectors where demand for skilled people is still outpacing supply, and that gap isn't closing any time soon.
Liverpool has quietly become a serious base for tech talent outside London, with lower costs and a growing cluster of serious employers.
A Senior AI Research Scientist role here puts you close to real decision-making, not buried five layers down in a corporate structure.
