The RoleWe’re looking for a Senior Software Engineer who thrives at the intersection of software engineering and applied ML. This role is ideal for engineers who enjoy building real products — not just models — and want to take machine learning systems all the way from data to production. You’ll own the full lifecycle of ML-powered applications: designing data pipelines, building training workflows, integrating models into services, and deploying production-ready features that power delightful user experiences.
You’ll help us test new ideas quickly, by working in lean, build-measure-learn cycles. You’ll develop rapid prototypes, test them on real users, and iterate based on learnings and user-feedback.
No hands-on AI/ML experience, no problem! Do you excel at solving end-to-end software problems but don’t have hands-on experience with AI/ML? Do you have a computer science, statistics or other relevant STEM background? If so we'd love for you to learn the ML part on the job.
You’ll work in London, with 3 days per week from our office and 2 days per week from home.
What You’ll Own- You’ll implement, test, and scale a wide variety of ML and AI capabilities, leveraging both established tools and emerging technologies;
- You’ll own the end-to-end development cycle of ML-powered features, including assessing the impact through means of experimentation
- You’ll collaborate with other cross-functional teams to integrate ML solutions into our products;
- You’ll monitor, evaluate, and improve the performance of models and ML-powered features in production;
- You’ll stay up-to-date with the latest developments in ML and AI, to ensure we’re always operating at the cutting-edge;
Who We’re Looking For- Strong software engineering background with experience in building and maintaining production systems.
- Hands-on experience with machine learning frameworks (e.g., PyTorch, TensorFlow, scikit-learn) and MLOps tools (e.g., Airflow, MLflow, Vertex AI, or similar).
- Solid understanding of data engineering practices, including ETL, batch/streaming pipelines, and data quality monitoring.
- Familiarity with cloud infrastructure (AWS, GCP, Azure) and containerization.
- You have experience with shortening “build-measure-learn” by means of prototyping and experimentation to iterate quickly and build software users love.
