Job Description

Description

We’re looking for a Machine Learning Lead Engineer who wants to operate as a player‑coach — someone still very hands‑on, but excited to grow into a proper management role over time. This is not a pure manager role from day one. You’ll be building, shipping, and improving ML systems while gradually taking on more team leadership responsibilities.

Department: Platform

Location: London

Compensation: £110,000 / year

Key Responsibilities

  • Build and maintain production‑grade ML systems and pipelines
  • Stay hands‑on (coding, reviews, debugging, deployments)
  • Mentor a small team of ML engineers (2–3 people initially)
  • Establish ML engineering & MLOps best practices
  • Improve deployment, monitoring, and model lifecycle management
  • Collaborate with DS, Risk, Product, and Engineering
  • Help shape roadmap and hiring
