Build AI Systems That Matter
We're assembling a world-class team to solve one of the most challenging problems in applied AI. If you want to work on genuinely hard problems with exceptional colleagues, we want to hear from you.
Why Join TraceLock AI
Cutting-Edge Work
Work on genuinely novel problems in machine learning, computer vision, and distributed systems. Our challenges require creativity and rigorous thinking.
Global Impact
Your work directly helps recover stolen assets and bring closure to victims. The technology you build has real-world consequences.
Rapid Growth
We're scaling quickly across engineering, research, and operations. Early team members have significant influence over company direction.
Comprehensive Benefits
Competitive compensation, equity participation, private healthcare, generous holiday allowance, and flexible working arrangements.
Engineering Excellence
We invest in tools, infrastructure, and processes that enable great work. No bureaucracy, just building.
Exceptional Team
Join colleagues from leading AI labs, top universities, and successful startups. We hire for excellence and intellectual curiosity.
How We Work
Intellectual Honesty
We acknowledge what we don't know, question assumptions, and change our minds when evidence demands it. Ego has no place in our technical discussions.
Bias Toward Action
We prefer shipping and learning to endless planning. We make reversible decisions quickly and irreversible decisions carefully.
Own the Outcome
We take responsibility for results, not just tasks. If something isn't working, we fix it rather than pointing fingers.
Raise the Bar
Every hire should raise our average. We'd rather leave a position open than compromise on quality.
Open Positions
Research
Applied Research Lead — Retrieval Systems
Lead the development of our retrieval and search capabilities across semantic search, embeddings, and large-scale data discovery. You will define the technical direction for retrieval systems, working closely with engineering to translate research and experimentation into reliable production systems. The role combines applied research with hands-on system design, helping improve accuracy, relevance, and performance as our platform scales. Candidates should have strong experience in information retrieval, vector search, or large-scale search systems, with a track record of applying research concepts in real-world environments. Experience with embeddings, approximate nearest neighbour search, or modern retrieval architectures is essential.
Multimodal AI Lead
Develop and improve multimodal machine learning systems that combine visual and textual information to improve asset identification and matching accuracy. You will work on models and pipelines that fuse image features with structured and unstructured data, helping improve how assets are identified, compared, and retrieved across large datasets. This role combines applied research with practical implementation, working closely with engineering teams to move experiments into reliable production systems. Candidates should have strong experience in computer vision, multimodal learning, or machine learning applied to real-world datasets. Experience with vision-language models, embeddings, or large-scale similarity search is desirable.
Applied Machine Learning Engineer
Work at the intersection of machine learning research and production engineering, helping turn new ideas into reliable, scalable systems. You will implement and optimise machine learning models, improve performance and efficiency, and build tooling that enables rapid experimentation and iteration. The role involves close collaboration with research and engineering teams to ensure models move smoothly from experimentation into production environments. Strong software engineering experience alongside practical machine learning knowledge is required. Experience working with large datasets, model optimisation, or ML infrastructure is desirable.
Product & Strategy
Enterprise Partnerships Lead
Lead the development of strategic partnerships with insurers, enterprise organisations, and industry partners as we expand into enterprise markets. You will build and manage key commercial relationships, support enterprise sales activity, and help shape our go-to-market approach. Experience selling AI or data-led solutions into enterprise environments is essential.
Head of Security & Compliance
Build and lead our security function as we scale to support enterprise customers across insurance and financial services. You will own and mature our security and compliance programmes, including ISO 27001 and SOC 2 readiness, oversee security operations, and work directly with customer security and risk teams during due diligence and onboarding. Previous experience in a CISO or senior security leadership role within a regulated or enterprise environment is required.
