Machine Learning Engineer, International Public Sector

Scale is hiring ML Research Engineers to bridge the gap between frontier research and real-world impact. While we solve critical challenges for global governments, your role will extend beyond implementation. You will lead the charge in research into Agent design, Deep Research and AI Safety/reliability, developing novel methodologies that not only power public sector applications but set new standards across the entire Scale organisation. Your mission is threefold: Frontier Research & Publication: Leading research into LLM/agent capabilities, reasoning, and safety, with the goal of publishing at top-tier venues (NeurIPS, ICML, ICLR). Cross-Org Impact: Developing generalised techniques in Agent design, AI Safety and Deep Research agents that scale across our commercial and government platforms. Mission-Critical Applications: Engineering high-stakes AI systems that impact millions of citizens globally.
