Who we are

We're the people behind global loyalty currency, Avios, and home to three ambitious, growing businesses; IAG Loyalty, BA Holidays and The Wine Flyer. Each business has its own goals and strategy, but collectively we create brilliant experiences for our global customers.

We're on a truly exciting journey of growth and transformation - we're going places! This is where you come in.

The opportunity

You'll be joining our Data Products team, working closely with teams that are aligned to value streams. Our team exists to drive success across Commercial, Customer, Finance and Product domains. We're on a mission to make our data available and usable in one place to deliver powerful data solutions that optimise performance and supercharge decision-making.

We're putting data at the heart of what we do to deliver super experiences to our customers and colleagues with machine learning (ML) foundational to this mission. We are looking to embed a centralised AI / ML platform to make our colleagues' lives easier when creating value for the company in a standardised way. This platform will enable safe, efficient and reliable training and deployment of ML models.

We are looking for an experienced ML Engineer to help us scale our capabilities to meet the needs of our team and our company's goals. You'll enjoy operating in a hybrid data science / ML engineering space, with an interest in platform / operations.

You will be joining in the early stages of our journey as we build out the infrastructure, tools and processes. We're migrating to Snowflake platform along with other tooling as part of the modern data stack such as AWS (SageMaker). In this role, you will be using ground-breaking technology to build and support world-class AI-based products, batch in the near term, and real-time in the future.

What you'll get up to

  • Contribute to the design, development, and deployment of our ML platform
  • Define and implement best practices for training, evaluating, and deploying machine learning models at scale
  • Collaborate with software engineers, data engineers, and data scientists to develop end-to-end AI products & solutions
  • Extend and maintain our self-service platform to help our data science teams quickly productionise models following MLOps best practices

What we need from you

  • Hands-on experience in data science and machine learning engineering, with a proven track record from design to deployment.
  • Extensive knowledge of software development with Python, SOLID principles
  • Understanding of machine learning techniques, such as supervised and unsupervised learning, MLOps, and data engineering
  • Infrastructure as Code - Terraform or equivalent
  • Practical knowledge of AWS, Snowflake, GCP or Azure
  • Experience with or equivalent to Snowflake Cortex / AWS Bedrock, AWS MSK, Snowpipe Streaming, Snowpark Container Services

The role has a blended base, between our Central London office and home. We trust you to make the right decision about the type of work that is best done in each location. We expect you'll achieve a 50/50 split between the two and there may be times where you'll want to visit our other locations to tell their stories, too (fully reimbursed).

We might not be right for you if:

  • You value perfection over fast iteration and progress; IAG Loyalty moves fast, we learn and iterate as we go; our environment isn't right for everyone.

If you think you have what it takes but don't meet every single point above, please do still apply. We'd love to chat and see if you could be a great fit.

And in return? You'll get access to a whole host of travel, Avios, healthcare benefits and more.Find out more here.

Equity, Diversity and Inclusion at IAG Loyalty

Our vision, 'to create the world's most rewarding experiences,' applies not only to our customers but for our colleagues too. It's about taking belonging seriously, actively fostering a culture where everyone feels welcomed and valued by embracing diverse identities, personal histories, and perspectives.

This commitment makes IAG Loyalty a rewarding place to work and enhances our ability to solve complex problems, drive innovation, and better serve our customers and communities.

Please let us know if we can make any reasonable adjustments to support your interview process with us.#J-18808-Ljbffr

Why Machine Learning Careers in the UK Are Becoming More Multidisciplinary

Machine learning (ML) has moved from research labs into mainstream UK businesses. From healthcare diagnostics to fraud detection, autonomous vehicles to recommendation engines, ML underpins critical services and consumer experiences. But the skillset required of today’s machine learning professionals is no longer purely technical. Employers increasingly seek multidisciplinary expertise: not only coding, algorithms & statistics, but also knowledge of law, ethics, psychology, linguistics & design. This article explores why UK machine learning careers are becoming more multidisciplinary, how these fields intersect with ML roles, and what both job-seekers & employers need to understand to succeed in a rapidly changing landscape.

Machine Learning Team Structures Explained: Who Does What in a Modern Machine Learning Department

Machine learning is now central to many advanced data-driven products and services across the UK. Whether you work in finance, healthcare, retail, autonomous vehicles, recommendation systems, robotics, or consumer applications, there’s a need for dedicated machine learning teams that can deliver models into production, maintain them, keep them secure, efficient, fair, and aligned with business objectives. If you’re hiring for or applying to ML roles via MachineLearningJobs.co.uk, this article will help you understand what roles are typically present in a mature machine learning department, how they collaborate through project lifecycles, what skills and qualifications UK employers look for, what the career paths and salaries are, current trends and challenges, and how to build an effective ML team.
