Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Save job

An exciting opportunity awaits for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join this new data & AI team. This role offers the chance to work at the forefront of machine learning, integrating advanced models into impactful products and services that reach a global audience. You will be part of a supportive and knowledgeable group, where your expertise in developing scalable ML solutions will directly influence business outcomes.

What you'll do:

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will play a pivotal role in designing, developing, and deploying sophisticated machine learning solutions that drive innovation across the organisation’s product suite. Your day-to-day activities will involve collaborating closely with cross-functional teams to understand business needs, architecting end-to-end ML pipelines, and ensuring seamless integration of models into production systems. You will be responsible for selecting optimal tools and frameworks for each use case, optimising training workflows for efficiency, and establishing robust monitoring practices to maintain high standards of model performance. By automating deployment processes through CI/CD pipelines and managing compute resources effectively, you will help deliver reliable AI-driven features at scale. Your contributions will not only advance technical excellence but also foster a culture of knowledge sharing and teamwork within the broader engineering community.

  • Develop scripts and software that seamlessly integrate machine learning models into larger production systems, ensuring smooth operation within complex environments.
  • Select the most suitable machine learning libraries and frameworks tailored to specific project requirements, optimising for performance and scalability.
  • Optimise model training processes by implementing efficient algorithms and leveraging parallelisation techniques to handle large-scale data sets effectively.
  • Design robust APIs for model inference, enabling both real-time and batch predictions that support critical business functions.
  • Create data structures that enhance model performance and accelerate data processing speed, contributing to overall system efficiency.
  • Manage compute resources judiciously to ensure models train quickly and run reliably in production settings without unnecessary overheads.
  • Establish comprehensive logging systems and generate key metrics to monitor both model accuracy and system health over time.
  • Conduct hyperparameter tuning and evaluate multiple models rigorously to identify the best fit for each unique task or challenge.
  • Monitor deployed models for degradation or drift in production environments, proactively implementing mitigation strategies when necessary.
  • Deploy models using reliable methods that guarantee scalability, reliability, and maintainability throughout their lifecycle.
  • Build CI/CD pipelines that automate every stage of the model lifecycle, from initial development through testing to seamless production updates.

What you bring:

To excel as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer in this role, you will bring substantial hands-on experience architecting end-to-end machine learning solutions within complex technical landscapes. Your background should include designing scalable ML pipelines using industry-standard tools while maintaining a keen focus on code quality and system reliability. You are adept at translating business challenges into actionable data science problems—leveraging your proficiency in Python programming alongside deep familiarity with leading ML libraries. Your approach is grounded in thorough testing practices; you consistently monitor deployed models for performance issues such as drift or degradation. With practical knowledge of cloud-based infrastructure (including Azure services), you are comfortable deploying robust solutions at scale. Above all else, your collaborative spirit ensures productive partnerships with colleagues from diverse backgrounds—enabling shared success on challenging projects.

  • A degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Artificial Intelligence/Machine Learning or equivalent experience demonstrating deep technical understanding of ML concepts.
  • Proven object-oriented software development skills with significant experience building machine learning applications using Python alongside core libraries such as pandas, NumPy, and scikit-learn.
  • Expertise in deep learning frameworks including TensorFlow, Keras, PyTorch as well as natural language processing tools like transformers, Langchain, (Azure) OpenAI, and prompt engineering methodologies.
  • Demonstrated ability to select appropriate ML libraries and frameworks based on project-specific requirements while optimising for scalability and maintainability.
  • Comprehensive knowledge of constructing efficient ML pipelines with parallelisation techniques that streamline data processing workflows.
  • Hands-on experience deploying models via APIs for both real-time inference and batch processing scenarios within distributed computing environments.
  • Familiarity with designing data structures that maximise model throughput while minimising latency in high-demand applications.
  • Experience setting up detailed logging systems coupled with generating actionable performance metrics for ongoing monitoring of deployed models.
  • In-depth understanding of hyperparameter tuning strategies as well as rigorous model selection processes tailored to diverse tasks.
  • Track record of monitoring production models for degradation or drift with proactive implementation of mitigation measures when required.
  • Advanced skills in creating automated CI/CD pipelines supporting the full ML model lifecycle from development through deployment updates.
  • Practical experience working with cloud platforms such as AWS or GCP along with Azure Cognitive Services, Azure Databricks, Azure Cosmos DB, Azure Data Factory for scalable solution delivery.
  • Excellent communication abilities paired with strong teamwork skills enabling effective collaboration across multidisciplinary teams.
