AI engineer in mental health

Company: Limbic
Apply for the AI engineer in mental health
Location: London
Job Description:

Описание: As an AI/ML Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of computational psychiatry, clinical science, and software engineering. You will join the product team building our AI therapist: a voice agent that delivers structured, evidence-based CBT over the phone to adults with depression and anxiety, with licensed clinicians overseeing every patient’s care.

Задачи:

Improve how our AI therapist runs sessions, from session structure and case formulation to therapeutic techniques and continuity across a course of treatment, working closely with clinicians. Strengthen the safety systems that protect patients in real time, including risk detection and how the agent responds when risk is disclosed. Build evaluations and LLM-as-judge autolabellers, validated against clinician labels, so we know quickly and reliably whether a change made care better or worse. Make voice conversations feel natural: responsive, well‑paced, and able to recover gracefully when a conversation goes off script. Help patients stay with their treatment long enough to recover, through AI features such as well‑timed session reminders and clear expectations about what therapy involves, and test what works with experiments. Optimise how we collect outcome measures such as PHQ‑9 and GAD‑7, including the methods, timing and predictive modelling of recovery. Ship changes safely through incremental rollouts, automated testing and a clinical sign-off process built for a regulated medical device.

Требования:

A PhD in Computational Psychiatry or a related field, coupled with demonstrated industry experience in Data Science, Product, or ML engineering. A BSc/MSc in a Computational Psychiatry related field (research focus) plus 2 years of experience in ML engineering or Data Science within an Engineering/Product Development environment. Proficiency in either Python or TypeScript/JavaScript. Experience building LLM-powered features and a track record of eval‑driven development. An expert approach to hypothesis‑driven work, with a track record of balancing product development with scientific rigour. Experience using Machine Learning in a production environment or via high‑impact scientific publications (e.g., predictive modelling, reinforcement learning). Experience modelling text/language data, including building LLM classifiers and using vector‑based methods. Experience modelling longitudinal data and working with databases (SQL or NoSQL). A strong understanding of evidence‑based mental health care (such as Cognitive Behavioural Therapy) and a deep interest in the causal mechanisms that drive therapeutic benefit. A bias to action: you break big problems into pieces you can ship within a week, and you are comfortable making decisions with incomplete information. Proficiency with version control systems, preferably Git. The ability to work from our London (Spitalfields) office on Tuesdays and Thursdays, with the flexibility to work remotely or from the office on other days of the week. Будет плюсом: Ideal but not required: Experience building an LLM agent harness or real‑time voice AI

Условия:

Competitive salary and equity share options. An amazing office in central London (Spitalfields) for our collaborative team days on Tuesdays and Thursdays, paired with a flexible/hybrid working model on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays. 25 days PTO plus bank holidays. Company pension scheme (UK). Enhanced parental leave packages (UK). Support with purchasing work‑related books and materials. Quarterly Life Days: Enjoy 4 paid days off per year (one each quarter) to use whenever you choose to relax, recharge, or take care of personal matters. Mental Health Support: Access to dedicated mental health support services.
