About the company
3AI is a London-based machine learning company focused on explainable AI for investing, including “smart alpha” indices and insights for equity investors. Public company materials position 3AI as a product business in financial services, rather than a general AI and business consulting firm. 3AI was founded in 2018 and is led by Jacob Ayres-Thomson (CEO), Dr Simon Judd (CTO), and Hassan Salamony (COO). 3AI lists an address at 25 Wilton Road in London.
Locations and presence
3AI is headquartered in London and lists a Central London address on the company website. 3AI has advertised hybrid working in London for at least one role.

3AI offers occasional entry points, including at least one role labelled “Entry level”, but current hiring visibility skews toward mid-to-senior technical hiring. Learning signals are strong when roles are open, with direct CEO contact and explicit ramp time, yet pay transparency and early-career outcomes are hard to verify from public evidence.
Pillar 1: Early-career access

Score

8.3
/ 20
  • The company advertised an “Artificial Intelligence Researcher” role marked “Entry level”, with fit signals like Python proficiency rather than a long years-of-experience gate.
  • 3AI’s current careers page lists a single opening, “Machine Learning Engineer”, described as mid-to-senior level.
  • The company’s public footprint shows a very small team and a small number of open roles at a time, which makes early-career access feel intermittent rather than recurring.

Pillar 2: Hiring fairness and transparency

Score

11.2
/ 20
  • The company outlines a sequence for at least one role that starts with a quick meeting with the CEO, followed by a “novel task” as an assessment.
  • 3AI routes candidates to email or a general contact flow for “Joining the team”, which is workable for a small company but gives less process clarity than a standard ATS flow.
  • The company’s Machine Learning Engineer posting is clear about responsibilities, tech stack (Python and C#), and the core requirements (numeric Python, cloud, testing and CI/CD).

Pillar 3: Learning and support

Score

13.3
/ 20
  • The company advertises unusually direct senior exposure in at least one role, stating the CEO is the key contact through recruitment and offering reading sabbaticals intended to accelerate ramp-up.
  • 3AI’s Machine Learning Engineer role includes “mentoring of junior team members”, which suggests juniors are expected to exist in the team structure at times.
  • The company’s employee review feedback highlights easy access to colleagues and openness to ideas, paired with “lots of responsibility”, which usually means learning-by-ownership with limited guardrails.

Pillar 4: Pay fairness and stability

Score

10.0
/ 20
  • The company does not publish salary ranges on the careers page roles reviewed, and at least one role asks candidates to reach out directly rather than applying into a pay-transparent process.
  • 3AI has very positive compensation-and-benefits sentiment in the small number of public reviews available, but the sample size is too small to treat as reliable for most early-career candidates.
  • The company mentions “competitive equity opportunities” in hiring copy, but 3AI does not publish equity mechanics or standard benefits in a way that helps juniors compare offers.

Pillar 5: Early-career outcomes

Score

9.2
/ 20
  • The company has only a small number of public employee reviews, but those reviews rate work-life balance, culture, and career opportunities at the top end and mention direct access to colleagues.
  • 3AI’s LinkedIn footprint shows a very small employee base, so promotion velocity and 12–24 month retention patterns are hard to validate publicly.
  • The company does not publish early-career outcome data such as internship conversion, time-to-promotion ranges, or retention reporting for junior cohorts, which caps this pillar.
