Machine Learning Engineering Manager

About the Role

At Deliveroo, we have an outstanding data science organization with a mission to enable the highest quality human and machine decision-making. We work across product, business, and platform teams using analysis, experimentation, causal inference, and machine learning techniques. We are uniquely positioned to use data to help make better decisions and improve data literacy across Deliveroo.

Machine Learning (ML) Engineers work in cross-functional teams of engineers, data scientists, and product managers to build algorithmic products that power the company. We are embedded in product teams, close to business problems, and tackle some of the hardest challenges. ML Engineers translate fuzzy business problems into concrete pipelines, design and implement them, deploy models to production, and collaborate with data scientists to run experiments.

ML Engineers at Deliveroo report to our Science management team. We have a strong, active data science community with guest lecturers, a robust technical review process, a career progression framework, and many learning opportunities. We offer career pathways for both managers and individual contributors. Our ML Engineers come from diverse disciplines but share a common excellence; many are formally trained in Machine Learning, many are not.

We are seeking a Machine Learning Engineering Manager to join our management team and lead our Search & Relevance team, which optimizes the customer experience through recommendation engines and search & ranking algorithms. The team includes ML Engineers of various seniorities, including mid-level, Senior, and Staff.

Ideal candidates will:

  • Have experience line-managing machine learning engineers and guiding their career development.
  • Have built and deployed machine learning algorithms to production within product teams.
  • Provide technical guidance on the design and implementation of machine learning algorithms.
  • Have experience working with cross-functional teams and managing stakeholders to identify opportunities and build roadmaps.
  • Bring together individuals from diverse backgrounds and skill sets to form a cohesive team.
  • Be comfortable working in a fast-paced, constantly changing environment.
  • Adopt a pragmatic, flexible approach focused on achieving impact.
  • [Bonus] Have knowledge and experience with experimentation.

At Deliveroo, we prioritize our people’s welfare. Benefits vary by country but generally include healthcare, well-being programs, parental leave, pensions, and generous annual leave, including time for charitable causes. Please ask your recruiter for specific details.

Diversity

We believe a great workplace reflects the diversity of the world we live in. We welcome candidates regardless of gender, race, sexuality, religion, or personal preferences. All you need is a passion for food and a desire to be part of a fast-growing industry.

Rural-Remote AI Jobs: A Breath of Fresh Air in the UK Tech Scene

A New Horizon for AI Professionals For years, conversations around tech careers in the UK have hinged on a central theme: to succeed in artificial intelligence (AI), you must be in or around London (or other big metropolitan areas like Manchester, Bristol, or Edinburgh). But times are changing. Technological leaps and the rise of flexible working are paving the way for AI professionals to live and work well beyond the capital. From the rugged coastlines of Cornwall and Pembrokeshire to the rolling hills of the Yorkshire Dales, we’re witnessing an exciting trend of AI remote countryside roles that allow you to work at the forefront of tech innovation—all while enjoying the tranquillity of rural or seaside living. At ArtificialIntelligenceJobs.co.uk, we’re seeing a marked increase in job postings and applications for these sorts of positions. A growing segment of job seekers is actively searching for “tech jobs by the sea” or “AI remote countryside,” driven by a desire for better work-life balance, lower living costs, and a healthier lifestyle. And it’s not just employees who stand to benefit; employers eager to attract top-tier AI talent are discovering that offering remote or flexible roles widens their candidate pool and enhances diversity. If you’re enticed by the idea of logging off from a day of coding neural networks and taking a stroll along a coastal path—or stepping outside your converted barn in Northumberland to soak in some fresh country air—this article is for you. Below, we’ll explore the benefits and challenges of rural-remote AI jobs, the specific roles best suited for remote work, and how to position yourself for success in this rapidly evolving sector.
