**RECRUITING**
Job Title – Machine Learning Engineer Salary – N/AContract Length – 6 Month Contract (with view to extend) Location – Abu Dhabi Start Date – ASAP
We are working on a brand-new project, which is an Innovation Hub/Ai Lab backed by a large bank in the region.
The candidate my client want is essentially a production-focused Machine Learning Engineer with 3–7 years' experience, rather than a pure Data Scientist. The major requirements I would source against are:
3–7 years' experience building production-grade, scalable AI/ML systems. Very strong Python + ML engineering capability. Experience with supervised/unsupervised ML, deep learning, NLP, Computer Vision and/or Gen AI/LLMs — you don't necessarily need every area but should have genuine depth. Building end-to-end ML pipelines: ingestion → transformation → training → validation → deployment. Production model serving and APIs using Fast API / Flask. Strong ML system architecture understanding. Experience with real-time and/or batch inference and model performance optimisation. Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD. Exposure to MLflow and/or Kubeflow for lifecycle management. Deployment onto AWS or Azure. Experience training/deploying traditional ML, neural networks and Agentic AI models. Ideally experience fine-tuning SLMs/LLMs and building more complex AI architectures.
Thanks,Ollie
