We are the World’s No.1 LIVE Crypto streaming channel covering Bitcoin, breaking news, hottest stories, altcoins, top founders and billionaires’ next big market moves, every single day.

We are the fastest growing crypto media business in the world. What started with two enthusiasts streaming crypto content from a coffee shop, has now become a consortium of the most influential media channels for live crypto news, trading, investing, web3 and crypto gaming content; working with the biggest advertising partners, affiliates and paid products or services in the industry.

The idea was born off the back of Ran's successful career at CNBC global having started the world’s first televised daily crypto news show. The restrictions of legacy and corporate media led to the idea of pursuing a media venture that is now at the forefront of the media 2.0 movement for tech, finance and crypto.

Today we have over 140+ team members that create content and build products that accrue over 10M monthly views across our network of channels and 85k+ daily active users. We are hungrier than ever before, driven by a mission of achieving the impossible and building the most profitable community in the world.

We are a group of enthusiasts, misfits and entrepreneurs that work harder than anyone else in the industry; fueled by passion and obsession for what we love to do. If you feel you are aligned with our core values, have an obsession with what you do and know how to consistently provide value - WE NEED YOU!

Role Overview

We are looking for an analytical, numbers driven Senior AI/ML Engineer to serve as a core technical pillar across our rapidly expanding AI ecosystem. You are not just managing prompts; you are a creative strategist who knows how to architect sophisticated, production grade AI systems from the ground up.

 

While you will initially support our live projects such as the 24/7 Terminal (achieving 220ms latency), BOOST Scanner, AI Influencer, and SEO tools, this role is inherently fluid. You will act as a versatile lead for a constant pipeline of on-demand AI initiatives as we build the next generation of market intelligence tools.

What You Will Do

  • Master AI Acquisition and Integration: Design and manage high performing AI systems that drive real time market intelligence and user engagement.

  • Own the Full Funnel Architecture: You will build and manage the entire technical journey, from initial data ingestion to final product conversion.

  • Scale High Performance Systems: Support and optimise our current portfolio while maintaining the extreme low latency standards required for real time market tools.

  • Lead On-Demand Project Development: Act as the primary technical resource for new AI initiatives as they arise, taking them from concept to deployment in a high velocity environment.

  • Execute Life Cycle Journeys: Ensure that the transition from raw social signals to finished market insights is seamless, managing all tools and software required for high fidelity tracking.

  • Performance Reporting and ROI: You will be 100% accountable for the commercial outcomes of your code, ensuring we are generating value and not cash burning through inefficient compute or API usage.

The Tech Stack

  • Languages and Frameworks: Python (FastAPI, asyncio, Pydantic), Pandas, NumPy, scikit-learn.

  • AI/ML: Llama, Transformers (HuggingFace), LLMs (OpenAI/Claude APIs), Fine Tuning Experience, RAG, Machine Learning, Deep Learning.

  • Data and Infrastructure: PostgreSQL, TimescaleDB, Redis, VectorDB, Apache Kafka/RabbitMQ.

  • Cloud and DevOps: AWS/GCP, AWS Lambda, Docker, GPU Deployment and Optimisation.

  • Automation and API: Selenium, Twitter API v2, Crypto Exchange APIs (Binance, CoinGecko).

Your Skills and Experience

  • Seasoned Engineering Background: You have a proven track record of scaling technical products and possess a deep, hands on development background that precedes the current AI wave.

  • Analytical and Numbers Driven: You are a numbers person who lives in analytics, basing every architectural decision on hard data to identify leaks in the system before they impact the bottom line.

  • Technical Funnel Builder: You are comfortable using low level tools, landing page builders, and CRM software to build the technical infrastructure of our AI products.

  • Creative Strategist: You can identify a generic solution from a mile away and understand how to iterate on high performance logic that resonates with the target audience psychology.

  • Crypto Market Literacy: You have an understanding of crypto markets and trading dynamics. Some blockchain knowledge is required for tokenomics related projects.

  • Direct Communication: You speak and write clearly in UK English. You have a bias to action and are comfortable working in a lean, high output team where you own the results.

Skills Required

  • Proven track record of scaling technical products
  • Deep, hands-on development background
  • Understanding of crypto markets and trading dynamics
  • Experience with AI/ML technologies and tools
