Job Description

Join us as a Machine Learning Engineer

• In this role, you’ll be driving and embedding the deployment, automation, maintenance and monitoring of machine learning models and algorithms
• Day-to-day, you’ll make sure that models and algorithms work effectively in a production environment while promoting data literacy education with business stakeholders
• If you see opportunities where others see challenges, you’ll find that this solutions-driven role will be your chance to solve new problems and enjoy excellent career development
• We're offering this role at vice president level
  
  
  

What you’ll do

Your daily responsibilities will include you collaborating with colleagues to design and develop advanced machine learning products which power our group for our customers. You’ll also codify and automate complex machine learning model productions, including pipeline optimisation.

We’ll expect you to transform advanced data science prototypes and apply machine learning algorithms and tools. You’ll also plan, manage, and deliver larger or complex projects, involving a variety of colleagues and teams across our business.

You’ll also be responsible for:

• Understanding the complex requirements and needs of business stakeholders, developing good relationships and how machine learning solutions can support our business strategy
