Springbok AI

Who We Are

We are Springbok AI, a London-based boutique Artificial Intelligence (Machine Learning and Data Science) consultancy, founded in 2017.

Our mission is to democratise access to knowledge and information. We believe that AI has the potential to be the most powerful force for good of our time, and we are committed to combining thoughtful design with AI to create meaningful user experiences that truly serve people.

Why Springbok, you ask? Like the agile antelopes we're named after, we are lean, agile and fast to act. Our solutions are elegant, beautiful and make AI feel effortless. We work at the intersection of cutting-edge research, data and real business challenges to make AI tangible and genuinely useful.

We specialise in Natural Language Processing and Machine Vision, meaning we work with language, video and image-based data to help people and companies work smarter instead of harder, enabling them to focus on work that matters most.

We design, develop and deploy intelligent software into our clients' systems at global companies like Flutter, Henkel and Hogan Lovells. The tools we build deliver insights for augmented decision-making, enable next-level efficiencies and unlock new revenue opportunities for our clients.

Our Team

We're a tight-knit team built on the values of respect, transparency and ownership. With just 17 people, everyone's contribution matters and your voice will be heard.

The combination of our diverse academic backgrounds—Physics, Neuroscience, Mathematics, Engineering, Chemistry, Psychology, Politics, and more—and our ability to draw on the latest findings in scientific research enables us to offer cutting-edge solutions to our clients that make AI real and impactful.

We look forward to meeting you if you enjoy advocating for and driving change as well as creating features or projects that solve genuine business challenges. You'll be part of an innovative team that mostly works in agile sprints and specializes in using the latest AI technologies to provide world-class solutions to challenging and emerging business needs.

Our technical and business solutions are fairly diverse. As such, you'll work on projects that range from digital messaging platforms to artificial intelligence and machine learning-based software across various industries and use cases.

Working at Springbok AI

Remote-First Since Day One

Springbok was remote before everyone else was doing it. We're still 100% remote (although you can come into our London office if you like!) and operate on trust. If you want to work from another country for a month or two—no problem! We understand that flexibility enables people to do their best work.

Generous Time Off

You'll get lots of time to switch off and recharge. We have an average of 38 days annual PTO, including 1 week company-wide shutdown for Christmas and New Year.

4-Day Work Week

As of mid-2022, we began experimenting with a 4-day work week! You'll get to be part of that journey, and if successful we'll implement it going forward. We're committed to finding sustainable ways of working that prioritize both excellence and well-being.

Output-Focused Culture

We focus on outputs, not inputs. This isn't the greedy bookstore—you aren't expected to respond to Slack or email out of hours. We believe in deep work and protecting your personal time.

Continuous Learning

We're a team of obsessed learners. Expect to get as much training as you want, be it on the latest API framework, machine learning approach or DevOps tooling. Our unlimited learning and development budget means you can pursue the knowledge that excites you.
