Overview

We’re building a new ML Engineering team and are looking for a strong technical lead to help take our machine learning capability from proof-of-concept to fully scaled, production-ready solutions.

Sitting within our Group & Enterprise Services (GES) function, this role is part of the Data vertical and reports into the Head of Data Engineering. You’ll be hands-on with cloud infrastructure, APIs and deployment pipelines, working mainly in GCP Vertex AI (essential) and Azure (desirable).

  • Develop infrastructure for real-time and batch deployments
  • Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for models
  • Ensure code quality, engineering best practice and scalable cloud deployments
  • Collaborate with data scientists, platform engineers and developers
  • Support model lifecycle management, monitoring and automation
  • Break down solution designs into deliverables and milestones

What you’ll bring

  • 5+ years as an ML Engineer with strong Python engineering skills
  • Experience deploying and maintaining ML models in production (Vertex AI required)
  • Strong software engineering fundamentals: OOP, unit testing, TDD
  • Cloud experience (GCP, AWS or Azure) and IaC tools such as Terraform
  • Experience with Docker, CI/CD pipelines and Git workflows
  • Understanding of data science principles and taking research code to production
  • Strong problem-solving skills and the ability to work independently
