We aren’t working with recruiters for these positions —we’re excited to connect directly with candidates who share our enthusiasm for small language models.

About Us

We are a Scottish AI company backed by leading venture capital. We specialise in building AI solutions for Financial Services. Our focus is on tackling their most valuable challenges using targeted small language models.

Our mission is to accelerate AI’s time-to-value, enabling businesses to remain compliant, efficient, and secure while ensuring data stays within their environment. By leveraging knowledge distillation and small language models, we address complex regulatory workflows that general AI can’t solve.

Malted AI was founded on the innovative distillation techniques that earned its founders the 2022 Amazon Alexa Prize, triumphing over more than 100 global teams. Since then, we have raised £7 million from top-tier venture capital firms and are transforming how enterprises deploy AI at scale.

Overview
