We're on a mission to help our clients become as efficient as possible when it comes to managing huge volumes of information - so that lawyers and business leaders can stay on top of the news that matters, and as a result make faster and better decisions.
Our enterprise news aggregation and alerting platform is used by over 70 global law firms. We are passionate about what we do - particularly, our Engineering department. This is where you come in.
At Vable, we recognise that the key to growth is in a high-performing Engineer team. That's why we're seeking an AI Engineer.
We would love to hear from you if you have the criteria below:
Bachelor's or Master's degree in Software Engineering, Computer Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Data Science, or a related field
Minimum 3 years experience of polyglot software engineering (full stack with a focus on Java) with a desire to develop and grow
Proficiency in Python programming language and experience with ML frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch, and NLP frameworks like NLTK and spaCy
Familiarity with data preprocessing, feature engineering, and model evaluation techniques essential for machine learning projects
Strong understanding of various machine learning algorithms, including supervised and unsupervised learning, reinforcement learning, and neural networks

Collaborate with Engineers, Product and CS to figure out how AI features can solve actual customer problems
Evaluate models & iterate using precision/recall, confusion matrices, or manual spot checks
Contribute to architecture discussions for scaling AI features into production
Write clean, testable code in both Java and Python
Own your projects. Autonomy is real at Vable. You'll get direction, but it's on you to drive it forward
To be successful in this role, your values matter just as much as skills. Does this sound like you?
We are Kind and Empathetic = Our behaviour and words assume the best in people
We are Always A Team = We are bound together by accountability
We are Curious = A bunch from various backgrounds. We ask questions, plan things out, push the boundaries and challenge the status quo
We Take Ownership & Deliver = We are focused on our goals and love the details
Why work for Vable?
A culture that we protect, we value the contributions each Vabler makes, comprehensive healthcare cover following probation, an L&D yearly budget, work from home office set up budget, employee assistance programme through Oliva and we are well established; we have been around for 20+ years.
Why it may not be for you.
We are a 40 hour week, Mon-Fri and have core hours, have set norms and behaviours and each Vabler is expected to live up to these, everyone is expected to work autonomously, our roles are quite generalist and you will be expected to do areas that you perhaps don't like or feel is not your job. No Vabler has this attitude and we get stuck in and pull our sleeves up. If this isn't you, best not apply.

Submit your CV, Cover Letter and Complete The Application Form Questions (30min-1 hour)
1 way interview: If after the application, we're excited to proceed, you will be invited to a 1 way interview to explain your experience in more detail (10-15 mins)
