At WiseTech Global, we build the technology that powers supply chains around the world. Our software is used by over 18, logistics companies across more than countries, handling the movement of goods across borders, oceans, and cities. Now, as we scale our machine learning capabilities globally, we're looking for a Lead Machine Learning Engineer to join our growing team in the UK.

This is an exciting opportunity to work on high-impact, technically challenging projects as part of WiseTech’s global ML & AI group. You’ll help drive intelligent systems into production that directly support global logistics — whether that’s automating complex document workflows, building agentic AI systems, or accelerating business unit goals through smart, scalable ML.

We have multiple opportunities open across different initiatives, and we’re looking for experienced ML Engineers who are ready to lead, collaborate across teams, and apply state-of-the-art machine learning to real-world challenges.

The Opportunity

As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll play a critical role in designing, building, and deploying ML-driven products into production. You’ll lead projects, mentor others, and help shape ML best practices across the organisation.

Our ML & AI group tackles a wide range of problems — from document ingestion and language processing to agentic frameworks and ML systems that support broader product delivery. Depending on your background, you could be working on large-scale document ingestion, agent-based AI workflows, or custom ML solutions for business-critical systems.

What You'll Be Doing

Leading the design, development and deployment of robust ML models into production


Working with large-scale, often unstructured logistics data
Driving solutions end-to-end: from problem definition to deployment and monitoring
Collaborating with product and engineering teams to integrate ML into real products
Contributing to architecture, tooling, and platform decisions across our ML landscape

About You

We're looking for people with strong technical depth, leadership experience, and a collaborative mindset.

You’ll likely have:

10+ years’ experience in data science, machine learning, or applied AI


A track record of leading and delivering impactful ML systems
Strong Python skills and fluency with modern ML frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow)

Experience with one or more of the following:

Natural Language Processing expertise


Agentic AI or frameworks such as LangChain, LangGraph, or AutoGen

Why Join WiseTech?

Real impact- Your work will help move goods around the world more efficiently


Global ML & AI team- Be part of a unified group driving AI at scale across WiseTech


Opportunity to grow- Shape ML product strategy, contribute across business areas, and step into broader leadership roles


A learning culture- Work with experts across disciplines, try new approaches, and take on a variety of challenges
