Job description
This isn’t your regular job. Almedia is a place where those who want to push harder can accelerate their careers faster than anywhere else. We’re aiming to become Germany’s second bootstrapped unicorn. Almedia is already Europe’s #3 fastest-growing company in 2025 (FT1000).

Staff Machine Learning Engineer London, King's Cross Top-of-market compensation
The Role
You'll take ownership of designing, building, and shipping production-grade systems that power ranking, personalisation, and reward structures in real time. You work hands-on with a small, high-ownership team. You have real influence over how we build our infrastructure as we grow it together.
You spot leverage points others miss: systems that shift behaviour, ranking that balances user value and business sustainability, measurement frameworks that prove what actually works. You own these end to end.

What We're Looking For
