My client is looking for an experienced ML Infrastructure Engineer to support the deployment, optimisation and scaling of advanced machine learning models in production environments. This role sits at the intersection of research and engineering, focused on ensuring models are reliably transitioned from experimentation through to large-scale deployment.

You will work closely with research and platform teams to build and maintain high-performance inference systems, improve deployment processes and help drive infrastructure improvements that enable faster model iteration and release cycles.

This is a strong opportunity to work on technically complex challenges within a fast-moving and highly collaborative environment.


The Role

  • Productionise machine learning models from research through validation, staging and live deployment
  • Build, maintain and optimise scalable inference infrastructure supporting high-throughput, low-latency workloads
  • Improve performance and reliability across GPU-based environments
  • Design and implement model serving and deployment workflows
  • Develop monitoring and observability tools to track system performance, errors and utilisation
  • Support data preparation and model integration as part of the wider development lifecycle
  • Collaborate with research, engineering and infrastructure teams to improve deployment efficiency and platform scalability
  • Evaluate and integrate third-party infrastructure and inference tooling where appropriate


Requirements

  • Proven experience deploying and maintaining ML inference systems in production environments
  • Strong programming experience in Python and familiarity with modern machine learning frameworks
  • Experience working with containerisation and orchestration technologies such as Kubernetes or similar
  • Exposure to distributed systems and cloud-based infrastructure
  • Experience supporting GPU workloads and performance optimisation
  • Strong troubleshooting skills across performance, scaling and system reliability
  • Comfortable working cross-functionally within research-led environments
  • Ability to operate in fast-paced teams with evolving technical priorities


Nice to Have

  • Experience building or improving model serving infrastructure
  • Understanding of distributed training or inference techniques
  • Experience debugging low-level performance or hardware-related issues
  • Exposure to real-time or latency-sensitive ML applications

How Many Machine Learning Tools Do You Need to Know to Get a Machine Learning Job?

Machine learning is one of the most exciting and rapidly growing areas of tech. But for job seekers it can also feel like a maze of tools, frameworks and platforms. One job advert wants TensorFlow and Keras. Another mentions PyTorch, scikit-learn and Spark. A third lists Mlflow, Docker, Kubernetes and more. With so many names out there, it’s easy to fall into the trap of thinking you must learn everything just to be competitive. Here’s the honest truth most machine learning hiring managers won’t say out loud: 👉 They don’t hire you because you know every tool. They hire you because you can solve real problems with the tools you know. Tools are important — no doubt — but context, judgement and outcomes matter far more. So how many machine learning tools do you actually need to know to get a job? For most job seekers, the real number is far smaller than you think — and more logically grouped. This guide breaks down exactly what employers expect, which tools are core, which are role-specific, and how to structure your learning for real career results.

What Hiring Managers Look for First in Machine Learning Job Applications (UK Guide)

Whether you’re applying for machine learning engineer, applied scientist, research scientist, ML Ops or data scientist roles, hiring managers scan applications quickly — often making decisions before they’ve read beyond the top third of your CV. In the competitive UK market, it’s not enough to list skills. You must send clear signals of relevance, delivery, impact, reasoning and readiness for production — and do it within the first few lines of your CV or portfolio. This guide walks you through exactly what hiring managers look for first in machine learning applications, how they evaluate CVs and portfolios, and what you can do to improve your chances of getting shortlisted at every stage — from your CV and LinkedIn profile to your cover letter and project portfolio.
