Full Stack Software Engineer (Machine Learning) – Inspera / Graide

Salary: Up to £65k
Location: Remote – monthly meet-up in Birmingham city centre. Midlands-based preferred.

Background

• Working within the small Graide team (Engineer, Product person and Founder), reporting into Vikas at Inspera.

• Graide's AI-assisted marking technology is being integrated into Inspera's core platform.

• Also developing a standalone product combining Graide and Inspera technology.

• Future roadmap is more focused on software/product development than building new ML models.

Technical Requirements

• Core stack: React, TypeScript, Node.js and Python.

• AWS, GraphQL, MongoDB and DynamoDB also used.

• Need a Full Stack Engineer with a good understanding of traditional statistical Machine Learning (classification, NLP, text comparison).

• ML experience doesn't have to be commercial – university projects or degree specialisms are acceptable.

• Stronger ML experience could compensate for slightly less full stack development experience.

• Not looking for someone whose only AI experience is GenAI/LLMs.

Interview Process

• Up to 3 stages.

• Vikas initially (fit/background), with George and Manjinder involved in technical interviews.

Key Point: Prioritise strong Full Stack Engineers with genuine ML knowledge, but also consider ML-focused developers with some full stack experience.

Seeking someone with 5+ years’ experience, combining strong mathematical/statistical modelling skills with hands-on Python development. Must be capable of writing production-quality code and deploying, maintaining and improving ML models within live systems.

Role involves working on psychometric engines, data platforms and APIs. Strong data engineering experience desirable, particularly PySpark, Databricks and AWS. LLM/RAG experience beneficial but not essential.

Key priorities: Python, statistical modelling, optimisation, production ML engineering and problem-solving ability. Previous psychometrics experience is not required.

"Inspera is a global education technology company that provides digital examination and assessment software, particularly for universities and high-stakes exams.

They're looking for a Senior Data Scientist to work on the algorithms and statistical models behind their assessment technology.

For example, that could involve analysing how difficult exam questions are, measuring a candidate's ability, or developing algorithms that help select appropriate questions for an assessment.

It's a very hands-on technical position. They need someone with strong Python development and mathematical modelling skills who can build, deploy and maintain these models in production, rather than just develop them in notebooks.

You don't need previous experience in education or psychometrics, but you do need strong statistical and software engineering capabilities."

The customer base is predominantly local government and housing, where organisations are often working with fragmented legacy systems and poor-quality data.

It's quite a commercially focused role, involving customer discovery, competitor analysis, product positioning, pricing and supporting new business opportunities.

You'll work closely with engineering and delivery teams, but it's not a delivery-focused Product Manager role. The emphasis is on understanding the market, shaping the product offering and driving commercial growth."
