• Own the full ML lifecycle, from data preparation through to training, evaluation and inference
• Turn research into reliable, production-ready ML solutions
• Optimise models for performance, latency, scalability and cost
• Build robust training and inference pipelines
• Debug complex production issues using real-world data and signals
• Mentor engineers and help drive engineering standards across the ML function

Key Requirements

• Commercial experience building and deploying production ML systems
• Strong Python software engineering skills
• Experience training, fine-tuning or deploying modern machine learning models
• Strong experience with PyTorch and/or JAX
• Experience building scalable ML infrastructure and inference pipelines
