About the Company

This is an opportunity to join a platform-based technology company that operates at scale and is investing heavily in AI infrastructure to support growth across its search and recommendation systems. The company’s technical teams are modernising the core of a global digital marketplace, with a focus on fast experimentation, resilient production systems, and seamless machine learning integration.


You’ll be part of a cross-functional environment that values engineering excellence, collaboration, and building for impact.


What You’ll Be Doing

  • Design and maintain machine learning infrastructure that supports the entire lifecycle of model development, training, deployment, and monitoring
  • Deploy production models across systems handling high-traffic, latency-sensitive applications, including search ranking and content recommendations.
  • Build CI/CD pipelines tailored to ML workflows, ensuring reproducibility, version control, and safe release cycles
  • Implement containerisation and orchestration strategies using tools like Docker and Kubernetes to manage scalable deployments across environments
  • Set up observability and monitoring tools to track performance, detect drift, and trigger automated retraining where required
  • Contribute to the development of feature stores, data versioning processes, and internal tooling that accelerate experimentation and delivery
  • Optimise serving infrastructure to support low-latency inference at scale
  • Support A/B testing and experimentation frameworks to measure model impact in production
  • Work closely with ML Engineers and Software Engineers to integrate models into live products using Python, APIs, and search technologies


What They’re Looking For

  • Experience building end-to-end machine learning pipelines in a production environment, ideally with at least 3 years in an MLOps or ML platform role
  • Strong Python skills and confidence in applying software engineering best practices, such as testing, version control, and code review
  • Hands-on experience with orchestration and deployment tools, including Docker, Kubernetes, and CI/CD platforms
  • Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools such as Terraform or CloudFormation and deployment on major cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure)
  • Comfortable working with ML libraries (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn) and serving frameworks
  • Knowledge of data pipeline orchestration tools such as Airflow or similar
  • Understanding of monitoring stacks and observability tools such as Prometheus, Grafana, or ELK
  • Bonus: experience with feature stores, vector search, and data versioning systems
  • Bonus: familiarity with large-scale online platforms or marketplaces with high throughput and performance demands

How Many AI Tools Do You Need to Know to Get an AI Job?

If you are job hunting in AI right now it can feel like you are drowning in tools. Every week there is a new framework, a new “must-learn” platform or a new productivity app that everyone on LinkedIn seems to be using. The result is predictable: job seekers panic-learn a long list of tools without actually getting better at delivering outcomes. Here is the truth most hiring managers will quietly agree with. They do not hire you because you know 27 tools. They hire you because you can solve a problem, communicate trade-offs, ship something reliable and improve it with feedback. Tools matter, but only in service of outcomes. So how many AI tools do you actually need to know? For most AI job seekers: fewer than you think. You need a tight core toolkit plus a role-specific layer. Everything else is optional. This guide breaks it down clearly, gives you a simple framework to choose what to learn and shows you how to present your toolset on your CV, portfolio and interviews.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in AI Job Applications (UK Guide)

Hiring managers do not start by reading your CV line-by-line. They scan for signals. In AI roles especially, they are looking for proof that you can ship, learn fast, communicate clearly & work safely with data and systems. The best applications make those signals obvious in the first 10–20 seconds. This guide breaks down what hiring managers typically look for first in AI applications in the UK market, how to present it on your CV, LinkedIn & portfolio, and the most common reasons strong candidates get overlooked. Use it as a checklist to tighten your application before you click apply.

The Skills Gap in AI Jobs: What Universities Aren’t Teaching

Artificial intelligence is no longer a future concept. It is already reshaping how businesses operate, how decisions are made, and how entire industries compete. From finance and healthcare to retail, manufacturing, defence, and climate science, AI is embedded in critical systems across the UK economy. Yet despite unprecedented demand for AI talent, employers continue to report severe recruitment challenges. Vacancies remain open for months. Salaries rise year on year. Candidates with impressive academic credentials often fail technical interviews. At the heart of this disconnect lies a growing and uncomfortable truth: Universities are not fully preparing graduates for real-world AI jobs. This article explores the AI skills gap in depth—what is missing from many university programmes, why the gap persists, what employers actually want, and how jobseekers can bridge the divide to build a successful career in artificial intelligence.
