Senior MLOps Engineer – Delivery Manager Helping Organisations Obtain Top Tech Talent 🧨

Manchester (Hybrid – Manchester office)


Our global client is building advanced behavioural intelligence technology that enables secure, adaptive digital identity. By analysing how people naturally interact with devices, their AI systems generate powerful authentication signals designed for real‑world use at scale.


Our client is moving from R&D into live customer deployments and we’re looking for an experienced Senior MLOps Engineer to help take their behavioural AI models into production and keep them running reliably at scale. This is a hands‑on, high‑impact role at the intersection of machine learning and infrastructure. You’ll own how our models are trained, deployed, monitored, and scaled as real users start relying on them for authentication.


Responsibilities

  • Turning ML models into production‑ready, customer‑facing services
  • Creating CI/CD pipelines for models, not just code
  • Designing low‑latency, high‑availability inference infrastructure
  • Monitoring live models for drift, performance drops, and failures
  • Scaling ML systems as pilot customers onboard
  • Working closely with AI, data, and software engineers to ship reliably

Qualifications

  • 4+ years in MLOps, ML Engineering, or ML‑heavy DevOps roles
  • Strong Python and hands‑on ML framework experience (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
  • Experience deploying and serving ML models in production
  • Containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes or ECS)
  • CI/CD for ML workflows

Nice to Have

  • Model monitoring & observability (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog)
  • A/B testing or canary deployments for ML models
  • Startup or scale‑up experience
  • Work on real‑time behavioural AI used in authentication
  • High ownership, you’ll shape how ML is run across the company for clients
  • Direct impact as we move into live customer deployments
  • Hybrid working (Manchester‑based)
  • Join at a pivotal growth moment, not after everything is already decided

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.

AI Jobs for Career Switchers in Their 30s, 40s & 50s (UK Reality Check)

Changing career into artificial intelligence in your 30s, 40s or 50s is no longer unusual in the UK. It is happening quietly every day across fintech, healthcare, retail, manufacturing, government & professional services. But it is also surrounded by hype, fear & misinformation. This article is a realistic, UK-specific guide for career switchers who want the truth about AI jobs: what roles genuinely exist, what skills employers actually hire for, how long retraining really takes & whether age is a barrier (spoiler: not in the way people think). If you are considering a move into AI but want facts rather than Silicon Valley fantasy, this is for you.

How to Write an AI Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Artificial intelligence is now embedded across almost every sector of the UK economy. From fintech and healthcare to retail, defence and climate tech, organisations are competing for AI talent at an unprecedented pace. Yet despite the volume of AI job adverts online, many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Roles are flooded with unsuitable applications, while highly capable AI professionals scroll past adverts that feel vague, inflated or disconnected from reality. In most cases, the issue isn’t a shortage of AI talent — it’s the quality of the job advert. Writing an effective AI job ad requires more care than traditional tech hiring. AI professionals are analytical, sceptical of hype and highly selective about where they apply. A poorly written advert doesn’t just fail to convert — it actively damages your credibility. This guide explains how to write an AI job ad that attracts the right people, filters out mismatches and positions your organisation as a serious employer in the AI space.
