Therole: We’re looking for an experienced Machine Learning Engineer tojoin our growing data science team. This is a hands-on role forsomeone who has grown from a data science background and hastransitioned into machine learning engineering. You'll be workingalongside our Lead Data Scientist and the wider data team to evolveand scale our ML infrastructure. You’ll play a key role inbuilding, deploying and optimising both real-time and batch MLmodels, ensuring they run smoothly and add measurable value to ourproduct and users. Day to day responsibilities include, but are notlimited to: 1. Designing, building, and deploying production-gradeML pipelines and services in Python 2. Collaborating with datascientists and data engineers to productionise models and guidethem through deployment best practices 3. Improving thescalability, reliability, and automation of our ML infrastructureand workflows 4. Developing systems for both real-time(low-latency) and batch inference use cases 5. Working with AWS andother cloud services (e.g. Fargate, ECS, Lambda, S3, SageMaker,Step Functions) to deploy and monitor models in production 6.Implementing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows,ensuring repeatability and robust version control 7. Setting upmonitoring and alerting frameworks to track model drift, dataquality, and inference health 8. Leveraging orchestration toolssuch as Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect to manage and scale MLworkflows 9. Supporting ongoing infrastructure migration oroptimisation initiatives (e.g. improving cost efficiency, latency,or reliability) 10. Partnering with product and engineering teamsto ensure ML solutions are aligned with business goals, and thatperformance metrics and outcomes are clearly tracked 11.Documenting and continuously evolving ML engineering best practicesThe ideal candidate will have: 1. 3+ years of hands-on experiencein ML engineering, ideally having started in data science with astrong foundation in a quantitative field such as mathematics,statistics, physics, or computer science 2. Strong Pythonprogramming skills with experience in building and maintainingproduction ML applications 3. Demonstrated experience deploying MLmodels into production environments, including both batch andreal-time/streaming contexts 4. Proficiency working withdistributed computing frameworks such as Apache Spark, Dask, orsimilar 5. Experience with cloud-native ML deployment, particularlyon AWS, using services like ECS, EKS, Fargate, Lambda, S3, and more6. Familiarity with orchestration and workflow scheduling toolssuch as Dagster, Airflow, or Prefect 7. Knowledge of CI/CD bestpractices and tools (e.g. GitHub Actions, Jenkins, CodePipeline) 8.Exposure to monitoring and observability tools for ML systems (e.g.Prometheus, Grafana, DataDog, WhyLabs, Evidently, etc.) 9.Experience in building parallelised or distributed model inferencepipelines Nice-to-Have Skills 1. Familiarity with feature storesand model registries (e.g. Feast, MLflow, SageMaker Model Registry)2. Knowledge of model versioning, A/B testing, and shadowdeployments 3. Experience implementing or contributing to MLOpsframeworks and scalable deployment patterns 4. Experience withcontainerisation and container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)5.
