Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Your Mission

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you'll know how to engineer beautiful code in Python and take pride in what you produce. You'll be an advocate of high-quality engineering and best-practice in production software as well as rapid prototypes.

Whilst the position is a hands-on technical role, we'd be particularly interested to find candidates with a desire to lead projects and take an active role in leading client discussions. Your responsibilities will involve building trusted relationships with prospects, finding creative ways to use machine learning to solve problems, scoping projects, and overseeing the delivery of these engagements.

To be successful, you will need strong ML & Data Science fundamentals and will know the right tools and approach for each ML use case. You'll be comfortable with model optimisation and deployment tools and practices. Furthermore, you'll also need excellent communication and consulting skills, with the desire to meet real business needs and deliver innovative solutions using AI & Cloud.

What You’ll Do

• Translating Requirements: Interpret vague requirements and develop models to solve real-world problems.
• Data Science: Conduct ML experiments using programming languages with machine learning libraries.
• GenAI: Leverage generative AI to develop innovative solutions.
• Optimisation: Optimise machine learning solutions for performance and scalability.
• Custom Code: Implement tailored machine learning code to meet specific needs.
• Data Engineering: Ensure efficient data flow between databases and backend systems.
• MLOps: Automate ML workflows, focusing on testing, reproducibility, and feature/metadata storage.
• ML Architecture Design: Create machine learning architectures using Google Cloud tools and services.
• Engineering Software for Production: Build and deploy production-grade software for machine learning and data-driven solutions.

What You’ll Bring

• Experience: Multiple years experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, preferably with a consulting background.
• Programming Skills: Proficiency in Python as a backend language, capable of delivering production-ready code in well-tested CI/CD pipelines.
• Cloud Expertise: Familiarity with cloud platforms such as Google Cloud, AWS, or Azure.
• Software Engineering: Hands-on experience with foundational software engineering practices.
• Database Proficiency: Strong knowledge of SQL for querying and managing data.
• Scalability: Experience scaling computations using GPUs or distributed computing systems.
• ML Integration: Familiarity with exposing machine learning components through web services or wrappers (e.g., Flask in Python).
• Soft Skills: Strong communication and presentation skills to effectively convey technical concepts.

Bonus Points If You Have

• Scale-up experience.
• Cloud certifications (Google Cloud Professional Machine Learning Engineer, AWS Solution Architect, etc.).
