About Data Reply:
Data Reply is the Reply Group company offering a broad range of analytics and data processing services. We operate across different industries and business functions, working directly with executive level professionals, enabling them to achieve meaningful outcomes through effective use of data. We find that one of the biggest problems experienced by our clients today is being overwhelmed with the amount of data that they face and not knowing how to leverage it to their advantage. The vast landscape of available technology stacks and models means that choosing the right ones can be a daunting task. Most companies know that their data is valuable, and that they should be making the most out of it to stay competitive, but often don't know where to begin or what to prioritise. At Data Reply, we pride ourselves on helping clients make the right decisions to build their data strategy. With our consultants' expertise, we map the right technologies to meet our clients' business needs. We deal in bespoke solutions, and offer in house training to ensure that our clients realise the full value of their big data solution. www.data.reply.com

  • To implement model lifecycle tools (MLflow, SageMaker Registry), performance dashboards, alerts, and automated retraining pipelines
  • Connecting ML models to client systems using APIs, Kafka, and build agent workflows with vector databases (Pinecone, Weaviate)
  • You'll enforce secure, compliant, and ethical practices-VPC design, IAM policies, data encryption, and adherence to GDPR
  • You'll be a trusted advisor and mentor, presenting technical solutions, managing expectations, and guiding junior team members

About the candidates:

  • University degree in Computer Science, Mathematics or in a directly related field (2.1 min grade)
  • 3+ years in MLOps/ML Engineering experience, plus 5+ years in Python software development or data science
