Glasgow, Scotland, United Kingdom THE OPPORTUNITY You will build and own the modelling-and-learning capability at the heart of LumiAIres: the simulation, encoding–decoding, and machine-learning layer that makes light compute. This is a durable company function: the digital twins, encoding schemes, and readout models you build become reusable assets across every product generation and customer programme. Your immediate focus is our current flagship programme, LUMINA, which leads the high-fidelity digital twin and encoding–decoding scheme, turning the twin into the customer-facing pre-evaluation environment that lets integrators assess our technology before silicon is in hand. Our photonic core behaves as a physical computing medium. Your job is to model how light computes inside it and to train the models that read the answer out. You will work closely with the Integrated Photonics Lead on physical validity, with our academic partners on encoding–decoding, with the Applied Photonics Engineer on validating predictions against measured silicon, and with the Full-Stack Software Engineer on productising the twin. You are the bridge between physics and learning, modelling how light computes inside our photonic core, and training the models that read the answer out. As we scale, this role can grow into ownership of LumiAIres' modelling and machine-learning function and the team behind it. CONTRACT & PROGRESSION CONTRACT TYPE: 18-Month Fixed Term Contract LOCATION: Glasgow, Scotland (Hybrid) SALARY: TBC per annum REPORTS TO: CTO (currently the CEO) POTENTIAL FOR PERMANENT ROLE: Yes — Glasgow or Paris (determined within the first 12 months) START DATE: To be agreed This role is offered initially as an 18-month Fixed Term Contract based in Glasgow. Given the portable nature of the modelling work, the permanent position offers location flexibility as the company scales. WHY LUMIAIRES Work at the frontier of photonic AI, technology with the potential to reshape how the world processes information. A founding team with deep expertise in photonics, neuromorphic computing, and commercial strategy. Exposure to global investors, strategic partners, and government stakeholders from day one. A genuinely values-led company building for the long term. Flexible, trust-based culture with real ownership and impact. HOW TO APPLY To express interest in this role, please send a CV and a short covering note describing your background in optical or photonic simulation and machine learning, any modelling or digital-twin work you have delivered, and what draws you to photonic computing. Applications and initial conversations are treated in strict confidence. KEY RESPONSIBILITIES The role is structured around four core pillars: Photonic & Optical Simulation Model the photonic core and full signal chain using established optical-simulation and numerical wave-propagation methods. Build, maintain, and validate the high-fidelity digital twin of the photonic processor. Quantify how design and fabrication choices affect computational behaviour, feeding insight back to the photonic design team. Encoding, Decoding & Core Behaviour Design and optimise input encoding and output decoding schemes for the photonic platform. Characterise how the photonic core behaves as a physical computing medium. Co-own encoding–decoding optimisation with our academic partners. Machine Learning & Readout Develop the readout models and associated training pipelines. Build the learning loop that improves inference over time and feeds our software tools. Optimise the mapping of machine learning inference onto the photonic hardware. Customer-Ready Twins & Validation Harden the digital twin into a pre-evaluation environment that integrators can run, with the Full-Stack Software Engineer and the Strategic Partners Lead. Validate twin predictions against measured silicon in partnership with the Applied Photonics Engineer. WHAT WE ARE LOOKING FOR A strong computational scientist or engineer with an advanced degree (MSc or PhD) in applied mathematics, computational or theoretical physics, electrical engineering, computer science, or a related quantitative field. Strong optical and photonic simulation skills, including transfer-matrix and numerical wave-propagation methods (or equivalent). A grounding in practical machine learning — model training, evaluation, and pipeline development (Python; NumPy / SciPy and PyTorch / JAX or similar). Strong scientific software practice and the ability to turn physics into validated, maintainable code. Familiarity with photonic neural networks, optical, or neuromorphic computing is a strong advantage. Experience with digital-twin or hardware-in-the-loop modelling, active-learning methods, or working alongside experimental and academic teams is welcome. Comfort in an early-stage, fast-moving environment where structure is built, not inherited.

Remote, Remote, Remote Role Overview: This position is within a project with one of the foundational LLM companies. The goal is to assist these foundational LLM companies in enhancing their Large Language Models. One way we help these companies improve their models is by providing them with high-quality proprietary data. This data serves two main purposes: first, as a basis for fine-tuning their models, and second, as an evaluation set to benchmark the performance of their models or competitor models. For example, for SFT data generation, you might have to put together or be provided a prompt which contains provided code and questions, you will then provide the model responses, and write corresponding Python code to solve the questions. For RLHF data generation, you may need to create a prompt yourself or use one provided by the customer, ask the model questions, and evaluate the outputs generated by two versions of the LLM. You'll compare these outputs and provide feedback, which is then used to fine-tune the models. Please note that this role does not involve building or fine-tuning LLMs. What does day-to-day look like: Design, develop, and maintain efficient, high-quality Python code to train and optimize AI models. Conduct evaluations (Evals) to benchmark model performance and analyze results for continuous improvement. Familiarity with Python frameworks and libraries Evaluate and rank AI model responses to user queries across diverse domains, ensuring alignment with predefined criteria. Develop comprehensive explanations and rationales for evaluations, showcasing excellent reasoning and technical expertise. Lead efforts in Supervised Fine-Tuning (SFT), including creating and maintaining high-quality, task-specific datasets. Collaborate with researchers and annotators to execute Reinforcement Learning with Human * Feedback (RLHF) and refine reward models. Design innovative evaluation strategies and processes to improve the model's alignment with user needs and ethical guidelines. Create and refine optimal responses to improve AI performance, emphasizing clarity, relevance, and technical accuracy. Conduct thorough peer reviews of code and documentation, providing constructive feedback and identifying areas for improvement. Collaborate with cross-functional teams to improve model performance and contribute to product enhancements. Continuously explore and integrate new tools, techniques, and methodologies to enhance AI training processes. Requirements: 3+ years of strong experience with Python programming language. Industry experience and knowledge of code quality, formatting, and best practices of software development Experience with Python’s testing ecosystem, including unit, integration, and property-based testing. Knowledge of multi-threading and asynchronous programming in Python. Ability to work with architectural patterns and refactor code without introducing regressions. Strong debugging skills, including fixing memory and concurrency issues. Fluent in conversational and written English communication skills
