Senior Machine Learning Engineer (Remote)

We are hiring a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to build, ship, and steward production ML systems that power marketing optimisation, forecasting, and decision automation across our verticals. You will own the end‑to‑end ML lifecycle: feature pipelines, training, evaluation, model serving, monitoring, and continuous improvement. You will work closely with Data Science, Data Engineering, BI, and Program Management in a central‑squad plus vertical‑pod model. The remit values self‑sufficiency, clear communication, and dependable delivery across multiple concurrent workstreams.

• 
  
• Design and operate ML pipelines in GCP: data ingestion, feature engineering in BigQuery and dbt, orchestration in Composer or Airflow, and reproducible training.
  
• Stand up and maintain low‑latency model services and batch scoring jobs with robust CI/CD, versioning, and rollback strategies.
  
• Implement monitoring for drift, data quality, and business KPIs, with alerting that prevents revenue leakage and speeds issue resolution.
  
• Partner with Data Science to move models from notebooks to production, including propensity, LTV and churn, and quality‑weighted bidding.
  
• Collaborate with Marketing, Product, and BI to integrate model outputs into campaigns, dashboards, and decision workflows, including predictive optimisation activation and SEM auditing.
  
• Document contracts and metrics, improve semantic layer alignment with BI, and help standardise experimentation guardrails at scale.
  
• Champion reliability, security, and cost stewardship for ML workloads.
  

Examples you may tackle

• 
  
• Productionise a propensity model and integrate it into media reporting and optimisation.
  
• Build and harden an anomaly‑detection service with Slack alerts for CPC and ingestion shifts.
  
• Contribute to a quality‑weighted bidding microservice and predictive optimisation workflows.
  
• Support first‑party data activation and identity‑aware features for paid channels.
  

• 
  
• 5+ years in software or data engineering with 3+ years focused on ML systems in production.
  
• Strong Python and SQL. Proficiency with ML libraries such as scikit‑learn and one of TensorFlow or PyTorch.
  
• GCP experience: BigQuery, dbt, and Composer or Airflow. Experience with CI/CD and model serving frameworks or APIs.
  
• Practical MLOps: experiment tracking, model and data versioning, monitoring for drift and performance, and incident response.
  
• Experience integrating model outputs into paid marketing or product workflows at scale.
  
• Ability to manage several initiatives at once, set clear priorities, and communicate status and trade‑offs to technical and non‑technical partners.
  

• 
  
• Experience with quality‑weighted bidding, uplift modelling, or reinforcement‑style policy optimisation.
  
• Familiarity with MMM, MTA, and experiment design in marketing contexts.
  
• Vertex AI or MLflow for training and deployment.
  
• Containerisation and service reliability skills.
  

• 
  
• Monthly long weekends: every third Friday off.
  
• Wellness stipend and comprehensive parental‑leave policies.
  
• Remote‑first culture with flexible hours and a high‑trust environment.
  
• Opportunity to build ML systems aligned to an ambitious 2025‑26 roadmap inside a globally trusted brand.
