This role sits at the core of the ML layer powering the product.
The focus is on designing and operating systems that enable:

• ML models to run reliably in production

• End-to-end pipelines from training to inference

• Continuous evaluation and iterative improvement

• Systems that perform consistently under real usage conditions

You’ll be working on:

• Training, inference, and evaluation pipelines

• LLM-based systems and agent-style workflows

• Debugging model behaviour using real-world signals

• Optimising performance across latency, cost, and reliability

• Production monitoring, logging, and system stability

What They Care About

The hiring bar is centred around real production ML experience:
Whether you have:

• Shipped ML systems used by real users

• Owned ML systems end-to-end in production

• Worked with modern LLMs beyond simple API integration

Your exposure to practical challenges such as:

• Model behaviour debugging and failure analysis

• Latency, throughput, and cost optimisation

• Monitoring, observability, and evaluation frameworks

• Scaling ML systems in production environments

Tech Environment

• Python (core ML and backend language)

• PyTorch / modern ML frameworks

• LLM ecosystem (OpenAI, Anthropic, etc.)

• GPU-based training and inference

• Docker and Kubernetes

• AWS, Azure or GCP

The emphasis is on how you build and operate ML systems, rather than specific tools.

Team & Working Style

• Fully remote-first, work from anywhere

• Small, highly capable engineering team

• Strong emphasis on ownership and delivery

• Fast iteration cycles with real user feedback

• Comfortable working in evolving systems and making pragmatic decisions
