  • Take full ownership of ML offerings, including architecture decisions and defining interfaces with data scientists.
  • Productionize and operate ML models and pipelines at scale with a focus on reliability and efficiency.
  • Act as a bridge and technical leader between data science teams and classical engineering.
  • Identify opportunities and implement best practices to improve our existing systems continuously.
  • Help mentor and educate colleagues across different teams on ML best practices and MLOps principles.

Who you are:

  • Strong, proven experience with containerisation, Python, and CI/CD in a production ML environment.
  • Expert experience working with streaming data and high-volume data processing at scale.
  • Ability to quickly switch between complex technical implementation and value-focused discussions with data scientists (a consulting mindset).
  • Demonstrated experience in architecture design and taking ownership of large-scale ML infrastructure.
  • Experience with GCP and Kafka streaming is a strong plus.
  • Scientific and critical thinking skills, combined with the ability to present your ideas clearly and compellingly.
  • A friendly and helpful personality, open to give and receive feedback in a constructive way.
  • Motivation to push yourself and the people around you to constantly improve and define the technical roadmap.

What’s in it for you:

  • A range of flexible working options to dedicate time to what matters to you
  • Competitive compensation package, with bonus and RSU
  • 28 days holiday plus two (paid) volunteering days a year to spend your time giving back to the causes that matter to you and your community
