Position Summary

As an ML Engineer (MLOps), you will take machine-learning models and AI pipelines from proof-of-concept through to scalable, reliable production deployment. You will own deployment, monitoring, and optimization across both edge and cloud environments.

Responsibilities

• Deployment: Deploy ML models and AI pipelines from PoC / development to production, ensuring they scale efficiently and maintain high performance through seamless CI/CD integration and orchestration.

• Monitoring & Maintenance: Implement monitoring and maintenance strategies for deployed models to ensure ongoing accuracy and reliability.

• Model Optimisation & Pruning: Optimise models for inference speed and resource efficiency using techniques such as quantisation, pruning, and knowledge distillation for edge and cloud deployment.

• Data Preprocessing: Perform data collection, cleaning, and feature engineering to prepare datasets for training.

• Model Training & Tuning: Implement continuous / semi-continuous training and evaluation workflows to maintain accuracy over time, and fine-tune models for optimal performance.

• Collaboration: Work with data scientists, software engineers, DevOps, and product managers to understand requirements and deliver ML solutions.

• Documentation: Maintain clear, organised documentation of code, models, and processes.

Qualifications

• Bachelors or Masters degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Data Science, AI, or a related field.

• 5 – 9 years of relevant experience.

• Proficiency in Python and libraries such as PyTorch, NumPy, Pandas, and Scikit-learn.

• Knowledge of model deployment, containerisation, and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes).

• Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.

• Familiarity with one or more cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure).

• Familiarity with MLOps tools such as MLflow, ClearML, Azure ML, or AWS SageMaker.

• Strong understanding of deep learning, reinforcement learning, and other ML techniques.

Preferred Qualifications

• Experience deploying computer-vision models to edge devices or low-resource environments.

• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools and observability platforms.

• Contributions to open-source computer-vision projects or relevant publications.

Core Technical Skills

• Languages: Python.

• Frameworks & Libraries: PyTorch, TensorFlow, OpenCV, Scikit-learn, Pandas, NumPy, FastAPI.

• Serving ; Deployment: Docker, Kubernetes, GitLab CI (CI/CD).

• Databases: PostgreSQL, MySQL, MongoDB, Elasticsearch, Neo4j.

• Deep-Learning Architectures: CNN, LSTM, GAN, Transformers, LLM.

• MLOps & Distributed Computing: MLflow, Kubeflow, Ray, ClearML.

• Message Brokers & GPU: RabbitMQ, Kafka; CUDA, RAPIDS, Numba.

• Cloud Platforms: AWS, Azure, GCP.
