ML / AI Engineer – Python

We’re supporting an innovative AI-focused organisation building cutting-edge machine learning solutions to solve complex, real-world problems. As they continue to scale their product and engineering capability, they’re looking for an experienced ML / AI Engineer with strong Python expertise to play a key role in designing and deploying intelligent systems.

The Role
You’ll be working at the heart of an AI-driven product team, developing, training and deploying machine learning models into production environments. This is a hands-on engineering role where you’ll bridge the gap between research and scalable, production-ready AI systems.

You’ll collaborate closely with data scientists, software engineers and product teams to translate business challenges into robust ML solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop and deploy ML/AI models using Python
• Build and optimise data pipelines to support model training and inference
• Productionise models and integrate them into scalable applications
• Work with large, structured and unstructured datasets
• Monitor, evaluate and continuously improve model performance
• Contribute to architecture decisions around ML infrastructure and tooling

Essential

• Strong commercial experience with Python
• Proven experience building and deploying ML models in production
• Solid understanding of machine learning algorithms and statistical principles
• Experience with ML libraries/frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn)
• Experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure or GCP)
• Familiarity with containerisation (Docker) and CI/CD practices
• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Desirable

• Experience with MLOps tooling (MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow etc.)
• Knowledge of LLMs, NLP, or generative AI use cases
• Experience with distributed data processing (Spark, Ray etc.)
• Exposure to Kubernetes and scalable ML infrastructure
