Senior MLOps Engineer

Were looking for a Senior MLOps Engineer to own how our AI & Data Science team builds ships and runs machine learning systems on AWS. Youll be a technical SME for our data science and ML engineers - owning the path from experimentation through to reliable productionised ML systems with a focus on lifting lifecycle maturity reducing technical debt remediating security risks and enabling the team to move faster with confidence.

Youll: 

• Provide technical leadership: Serve as the key technical SME for data scientists and ML engineers on technical problems including architecture tooling debugging and production design.
• Own the experimental lifecycle: Architect and support the transition from data science experimentation to productionised ML ensuring reproducible pipelines consistent evaluation and seamless handoffs.
• Systematize ML delivery: Set shared patterns for how models are deployed versioned and released so that shipping is repeatable and proven solutions are reusable and scalable.
• Establish closed-loop experimentation: Build a clear line of sight from live model telemetry back to the experimentation phase ensuring production performance consistently drives the next iteration of model refinement.
• Reduce cost and remediate risk: Keep ML infrastructure and model-serving costs appropriate through rightsizing caching and consolidated spend visibility. Proactively identify and remediate security risks (e.g. dependency vulnerabilities access and credential hygiene and secure deployment practices) by partnering with security teams.
• Share knowledge and contribute: Help engineers grow through hands-on technical guidance pairing and constructive review. Foster a collaborative environment built on mutual respect and trust by actively contributing your ideas and expertise to the wider team.
