Support end-to-end deployment of ML models (batch and real-time) from code validation through to production rollout under guidance from senior team members. Work with Data Science teams to facilitate smooth model handover and ensure deployment readiness aligned with implementation standards. Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for model deployment, scoring, and operational monitoring. Debug and fix pipeline issues including data ingestion problems, model scoring failures, and deployment errors. Write comprehensive tests for ML pipelines (unit, integration, validation) and implement data quality checks and operational monitoring. Ensure deployed models meet audit, reconciliation, and governance requirements. Monitor production models for operational health, troubleshoot failures, and track data/variable drift over time. Work with Platform Engineers within the team to create reusable MLOps templates and support Data Scientists in using them effectively. Support model migrations across data sources, tools, systems, and platforms. Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and pod activities (standups, grooming, delivery check-ins). Learn from senior team members and contribute to continuous improvement of model delivery practices.

How to Find Hidden AI Jobs in the UK Using Professional Bodies like BCS, IET & the Turing Society

When it comes to job hunting in artificial intelligence (AI), most candidates head straight to traditional job boards, LinkedIn, or recruitment agencies. But what if there was a better way to find roles that aren’t advertised publicly? What if you could access hidden job leads, gain inside knowledge, or get referred by people already in the field? That’s where professional bodies and specialist AI communities come in. In this article, we’ll explore how UK-based organisations like BCS (The Chartered Institute for IT), IET (The Institution of Engineering and Technology), and the Turing Society can help you uncover AI job opportunities you won’t find elsewhere. We'll show you how to strategically use their directories, special-interest groups (SIGs), and CPD (Continuing Professional Development) events to elevate your career and expand your AI job search in ways most job seekers overlook.

How to Get a Better AI Job After a Lay-Off or Redundancy

Being made redundant or laid off can feel like the rug has been pulled from under you. Whether part of a wider company restructuring, budget cuts, or market shifts in tech, many skilled professionals in the AI industry have recently found themselves unexpectedly jobless. But while redundancy brings immediate financial and emotional stress, it can also be a powerful catalyst for career growth. In the fast-evolving field of artificial intelligence, where new roles and specialisms emerge constantly, bouncing back stronger is not only possible—it’s likely. In this guide, we’ll walk you through a step-by-step action plan for turning redundancy into your next big opportunity. From managing the shock to targeting better AI jobs, updating your CV, and approaching recruiters the smart way, we’ll help you move from setback to comeback.
