Job Description

Advanced Specialist, AI Scientist

Pearson VUE

• Deliver robust, scalable ML solutions for AI capabilities in educational products, taking significant implementation decisions independently. • Work closely with Business Unit partners to understand their AI-related problems, help frame them clearly, and develop solutions that fit their actual needs. • Identify opportunities to reuse existing AI components and capabilities across teams. This includes use case discovery, technical solutioning, and making a credible case to partner teams for why reuse is the right path rather than building from scratch. • Review and validate the outputs of more junior scientists, providing expert-level technical feedback and catching issues before they reach production. • Shape the direction of projects within the team, bringing experience and a point of view to decisions about approach, tooling, and scope. • Propose new techniques and methods where current approaches have clear limitations, and take responsibility for evaluating and introducing them. • Mentor peers and support the growth of colleagues at earlier career stages, through code reviews, pairing, and direct feedback. • Maintain thorough documentation and uphold the technical health of deliverables over time, not just at point of delivery.

Job Requirements

  • Strong applied experience in machine learning and deep learning, with a track record of delivering solutions that have gone into production and affected real outcomes.
  • Effective proficiency in Python and core ML frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, TensorFlow, Hugging Face, scikit-learn), including model evaluation, experimentation, and iteration at scale.
  • Experience working directly with non-technical or semi-technical stakeholders to understand problems, frame requirements, and align on the right technical approach.
  • Ability to assess an existing capability or component critically and make a reasoned case for whether it fits a new context.
  • Comfortable shaping project direction and making significant technical decisions with appropriate autonomy.
  • Experience reviewing others' work at a high level of rigour, and providing feedback that improves both the output and the person who produced it.

Investment Banking Intern, AI Residency

Aptura

Aptura works with leading foundational AI labs to bring institutional finance expertise directly into AI model development. Founded by ex-Lazard and Partners Group professionals, we operate from London and San Francisco.

Role Description In this 3-month Internship, you will contribute your previous deal experience which will be used to help improve AI reasoning across investment banking workflows. The work involves generating, refining, and evaluating content that reflects how IB professionals think through transactions from origination and pitching through execution and close. - Draft realistic IB scenarios, prompts, and worked examples (pitch decks, comps, LBO models, CIMs, deal memos) that reflect real transaction workflows. - Evaluate AI-generated outputs against how a skilled analyst or associate would actually reason, flagging gaps in logic, technical rigour, or judgment. - Refine and rewrite model responses to improve their financial reasoning and structuring. - Partner closely with experts to translate domain expertise into training signal, giving feedback on what "good" looks like at each stage of a deal. - Identify edge cases and failure modes specific to IB workflows (e.g., sector-specific modelling conventions, regulatory nuance, negotiation dynamics). - Help document and systematise IB best practices into reusable frameworks model can learn from. Qualifications - Current student or recent graduate with a minimum of one IB internship or full-time role at a bulge bracket or elite boutique (e.g., Goldman Sachs, Morgan Stanley, J.P. Morgan, Bank of America, Citi, Barclays, UBS, Deutsche Bank, Wells Fargo, Evercore, Moelis, Centerview, Lazard, Jefferies). - Solid grounding in financial modelling, valuation methodologies (DCF, comps, precedent transactions), and deal mechanics. - High attention to detail and intellectual honesty to say "this output is wrong" even when it looks polished. - Sharp communication skills, able to explain why a piece of reasoning is right or wrong. - Comfortable with ambiguity and fast iteration. - Genuine curiosity about AI, even without a technical background. Benefits - Competitive salaries with an opportunity to join us full-time. - Modern, centrally located London office built for collaboration and focus. - Access to a range of AI tools to boost productivity and maximise results. - Tech, screens, and any equipment you need to perform at a high level. Logistics - Location: In-person (remote options available). - Start date: Immediate. - Referral bonus: For any successful referral hired into this role.

• Implement, fine-tune, and evaluate machine learning models (classic ML and generative AI) based on what each problem actually requires. • Work closely with product managers, data engineers, and domain experts to understand what teams need, translate that into a clear technical approach, and deliver something concrete. • Contribute to model design discussions with a clear point of view on tradeoffs: accuracy, latency, cost, and data availability. • Participate in code reviews as both reviewer and contributor, keeping quality and shared standards consistent across the team. • Document experiments thoroughly: what was tried, what the results showed, what the limitations were, and what should happen next. • Share technical knowledge with the team, especially when working with new methods or tools, through write-ups, short sessions, or whatever fits the situation. • Engage the Responsible AI, Data, and Platform teams early so that solutions meet the right standards before problems accumulate.
