Join to apply for the Machine Learning Engineer role at Limbic.

Overview

Limbic’s vision is to make the highest quality therapy accessible to everyone, everywhere. We deploy AI responsibly, augment clinical care, and reduce barriers to therapy at scale. Limbic is already used in over 40% of Talking Therapies in the NHS, making us the largest-ever deployment of generative AI for direct patient care. Limbic is safe and effective after gaining UKCA Class IIa certification, the only AI mental health chatbot to do so.
