We’re looking for a Staff MLOps Engineer to join our Machine Learning team. You’ll work closely with a team of engineers to create a platform on top of that data that will be leveraged by virtually every other product and system we have built or will build in the future. You’ll be responsible for building and maintaining the infrastructure and tooling that enables our ML Engineers and Data Scientists to focus on model development and feature engineering.

Key Responsibilities

  • Design, implement, and maintain robust MLOps platforms and tooling for both batch and streaming ML pipelines.
  • Develop and manage monitoring and observability solutions for ML systems.
  • Lead DevOps practices, including CI/CD pipelines and Infrastructure as Code (IaC).
  • Architect and implement cloud-based solutions on AWS.
  • Collaborate with ML Engineers and Data Scientists to develop, train, and deploy machine learning models.
  • Engage in feature engineering and model optimization to improve ML system performance.
  • Participate in the full ML lifecycle, from data preparation to model deployment and monitoring.
  • Optimize and refactor existing systems for improved performance and reliability.
  • Drive technical initiatives and best practices in both MLOps and ML Engineering.


Required Skills And Experience

  • Strong Python Proficiency: Excellent skills for developing, deploying, and maintaining our machine learning systems.
  • Language Versatility: Experience with statically-typed or JVM languages. Willingness to learn Scala is highly desirable.
  • Cloud Engineering Skills: Extensive experience with Cloud Platforms & Services, ideally AWS (e.g., Lambda, ECS, ECR, CloudWatch, MSK, SNS, SQS).
  • Infrastructure as Code: Proficiency in IaC, particularly Terraform.
  • Kubernetes Expertise: Strong hands-on experience with managing clusters and deploying services.
  • Data Orchestration: Experience with ML orchestration tools (e.g., Flyte, Airflow, Kubeflow, Luigi, or Prefect).
  • CI/CD: Expertise in pipelines, especially GitHub Actions and Jenkins.
  • Networking: Knowledge of concepts and implementation.
  • Streaming: Experience with Kafka and other streaming technologies.
  • ML Monitoring: Familiarity with observability tools (e.g., Arize AI, Weights and Biases).
  • NLP/LLMs: Experience with NLP, LLMs, and RAG systems in production, or strong desire to learn.
  • CLI & Shell Scripting: Proficiency in scripting and command-line tools.
  • APIs: Experience with deploying and managing production APIs.
  • Software Engineering Best-Practices: Knowledge of industry standards and practices.


Preferred Qualifications

  • AWS AI Services: Hands-on experience with AWS SageMaker and/or AWS Bedrock.
  • Data Processing: Experience with high-volume, unstructured data processing.
  • ML Applications: Familiarity with NLP, Computer Vision, and traditional ML applications.
  • System Migration: Previous work in refactoring and migrating complex systems.
  • AWS Certification: AWS Solution Architect Professional or Associate certification.
  • Advanced Degree: Master's degree in ML / AI / Computer Science.


Personal Qualities

  • Passionate about building developer-friendly platforms and tools.
  • Thrives in a terminal-based development environment.
  • Enthusiastic about creating production-grade, robust, reliable, and performant systems.
  • Not afraid to dive into and improve complex existing solutions.
  • Team player who works well with ML Engineers, Data Scientists, and management.
  • Strong technical mentoring skills.
  • Excellent problem-solving and communication skills.

How to Write a Machine Learning Job Ad That Attracts the Right People

Machine learning now sits at the heart of many UK organisations, powering everything from recommendation engines and fraud detection to forecasting, automation and decision support. As adoption grows, so does demand for skilled machine learning professionals. Yet many employers struggle to attract the right candidates. Machine learning job adverts often generate high volumes of applications, but few applicants have the blend of modelling skill, engineering awareness and real-world experience the role actually requires. Meanwhile, strong machine learning engineers and scientists quietly avoid adverts that feel vague, inflated or confused. In most cases, the issue is not the talent market — it is the job advert itself. Machine learning professionals are analytical, technically rigorous and highly selective. A poorly written job ad signals unclear expectations and low ML maturity. A well-written one signals credibility, focus and a serious approach to applied machine learning. This guide explains how to write a machine learning job ad that attracts the right people, improves applicant quality and strengthens your employer brand.

Maths for Machine Learning Jobs: The Only Topics You Actually Need (& How to Learn Them)

Machine learning job adverts in the UK love vague phrases like “strong maths” or “solid fundamentals”. That can make the whole field feel gatekept especially if you are a career changer or a student who has not touched maths since A level. Here is the practical truth. For most roles on MachineLearningJobs.co.uk such as Machine Learning Engineer, Applied Scientist, Data Scientist, NLP Engineer, Computer Vision Engineer or MLOps Engineer with modelling responsibilities the maths you actually use is concentrated in four areas: Linear algebra essentials (vectors, matrices, projections, PCA intuition) Probability & statistics (uncertainty, metrics, sampling, base rates) Calculus essentials (derivatives, chain rule, gradients, backprop intuition) Basic optimisation (loss functions, gradient descent, regularisation, tuning) If you can do those four things well you can build models, debug training, evaluate properly, explain trade-offs & sound credible in interviews. This guide gives you a clear scope plus a six-week learning plan, portfolio projects & resources so you can learn with momentum rather than drowning in theory.

Neurodiversity in Machine Learning Careers: Turning Different Thinking into a Superpower

Machine learning is about more than just models & metrics. It’s about spotting patterns others miss, asking better questions, challenging assumptions & building systems that work reliably in the real world. That makes it a natural home for many neurodivergent people. If you live with ADHD, autism or dyslexia, you may have been told your brain is “too distracted”, “too literal” or “too disorganised” for a technical career. In reality, many of the traits that can make school or traditional offices hard are exactly the traits that make for excellent ML engineers, applied scientists & MLOps specialists. This guide is written for neurodivergent ML job seekers in the UK. We’ll explore: What neurodiversity means in a machine learning context How ADHD, autism & dyslexia strengths map to ML roles Practical workplace adjustments you can ask for under UK law How to talk about neurodivergence in applications & interviews By the end, you’ll have a clearer sense of where you might thrive in ML – & how to turn “different thinking” into a genuine career advantage.
