About the Role

We’re looking for an experienced Web Scraping Engineer to take charge of implementing, maintaining, and scaling our content ingestion processes. This contractor role is perfect for someone who thrives on building scalable web scraping solutions, and maintaining smooth production operations. You will solve complex challenges with creativity and precision while upholding the highest data quality standards.

Key Responsibilities

  • Implement and Maintain Web Scraping Scripts:Develop robust and efficient scraping scripts for content ingestion, focusing on scaling operations to support high-concurrency processes across various fashion retailers.
  • Optimize Production Workflows:Oversee production ingestion pipelines, monitoring queues, addressing failed jobs, and ensuring seamless operation.
  • Ensure Data Integrity:Keep scripts relevant and efficient, introducing methods for automatically identifying slow or failing operations and enabling quick recovery to maintain seamless data ingestion and quality.
  • Collaborate Across Teams:Work closely with product and engineering teams to align ingestion strategies with business goals.

At Hey Savi, we leverage a modern stack to support our platform. We seek experience with:

  • Essential - Main Languages & Frameworks:Python, Scrapy, Playwright, BeautifulSoup, Selenium.
  • Ideal - DevOps and Cloud Infrastructure:Knowledge of CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions and Workflows, with familiarity in AWS (ECS, SQS, S3, RDS), Terraform, and observability patterns and tools considered valuable.

Ways of Working

  • Product Mindset and Customer Focus:You’re passionate about creating meaningful experiences that address real user needs. You have a strong desire to understand customer behaviour and deliver solutions that inspire confidence and delight, keeping a critical eye on available data to evaluate outcomes of each development iteration.
  • Adaptable and Resourceful Problem Solver:You learn quickly and adjust to new context, tools, and technologies. You’re comfortable experimenting and pivoting when needed to find the best solution. You approach challenges with no pre-established solution with curiosity and independence, seeking out viable options and taking ownership of the whole process.
  • Collaborative Team Player:You thrive in a collaborative environment and enjoy working closely with cross-functional teams to achieve shared goals.
  • Effective Communicator:You excel at conveying information clearly, telling compelling stories, and influencing diverse audiences.

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.
