Ollie Glass
Lead AI Engineer
Seeking a permanent Lead/Staff AI Engineer role in a startup or product team, London or remote.
Strongest as first or second AI hire: I own evals, deployment, monitoring, and the data layer end-to-end. I've shipped forecasting systems, recommendation engines, LLM pipelines, and data platforms under pressure. What I'm actually best at is making ambiguity workable. After years of contract projects, I'm seeking a permanent role where I can shape direction and own product arcs, not just deliver.
Selected work
- — Market intelligence pipeline + LLM-assisted analysis — cut research time from 10 hours to 5 minutes per day
- — Cross-region time series forecasting — improved accuracy by 20% (RMSE)
- — Recommendation engine capturing curatorial style similarity — production-ready with offline ranking evaluation (NDCG@K)
- — Ad mediation optimiser with online learning — served 500M events per day
- — LLM summarisation and clustering for trend detection — under 10 minutes end-to-end from sourcing to draft
