Techruiter is hiring a UnlikelyAI - Applied Scientist

Unlikely AI is an early stage Artificial Intelligence start-up based in London.

Unlikely AI was founded by William Tunstall-Pedoe, who previously served as the principal project manager for Amazon’s AI voice assistant Alexa. Tunstall-Pedoe’s earlier startup Evi Technologies was key to the natural language understanding and question-answering seen in the Amazon Echo and Echo Dot.

The application of the technology being developed by Unlikely AI is not clear at the moment. The company has, however, released a showcase of its AI capability in the form of an AI called Ross. Ross featured in an app called Crossword Genius, in which Ross solved cryptic crossword puzzles.

This is a key opportunity to join as an early employee, to make a significant impact on the fortunes of the business and help define the company, culture, product and software engineering practices.
