Senior Machine Learning Engineer

We are partnering with a next-generation AI infrastructure company building a distributed, privacy-first AI platform designed for enterprise and public sector environments.

They are seeking a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join their growing team, working at the intersection of machine learning, systems engineering, and production deployment.

This role is hands-on and execution-focused. You will take research-grade models and turn them into robust, production-ready AI systems capable of running across cloud, edge, and constrained hardware environments.

• 
  
• Convert research prototypes into scalable, production-grade AI systems
  
• Develop, fine-tune, and optimise models using PyTorch, TensorFlow, and Hugging Face
  
• Apply model optimisation techniques such as quantisation, pruning, distillation, and hardware-specific acceleration
  
• Engineer parameter-efficient adaptation strategies (LoRA, PEFT) and on-device inference pipelines
  
• Work across multi-modal AI systems (vision, audio, language)
  
• Develop performance-critical components using C, C++, or Rust
  
• Optimise AI systems for distributed, resource-constrained, and offline environments
  

• 
  
• 5+ years in applied ML, ML engineering, or production AI systems
  
• Deep hands-on experience with PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face
  
• Proven track record deploying models across cloud, edge, and on-device environments
  
• Strong experience with model compression and optimisation
  
• Solid understanding of GPU computing, CUDA, and performance profiling
  
• Low-level systems programming experience in C, C++, or Rust
  
• Strong algorithmic thinking and problem-solving ability in constrained or distributed systems
