Who we are
We’re not just talking about making a difference, we’re making it happen. We generate dispatchable, renewable power and create stable energy in an uncertain world. Building on our proud heritage, we have ambition to become the global leader in sustainable biomass and carbon removals.
You’ll be joining our teams of practical doers, future thinkers and business champions. We’re enabling a zero carbon, lower cost energy future for all, and working hard to decarbonise the planet for generations to come.
About The Role
As a Machine Learning Operations (MLOps) Engineer, you’ll be responsible for managing, releasing and monitoring Machine Learning (ML) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) artefacts using automated frameworks. You’ll also optimise ML/AI code written by our Data Scientists into Production-ready software according to agreed performance and cost criteria.
You’ll play a key role ensuring that ML/AI projects are setup for success via the automation of residual manual steps in the development and production lifecycle. You’ll also provide essential insights into the ongoing predictive capability and cost of deployed ML/AI assets using language and visualisations appropriate for your audience.
It’s an opportunity to work across multiple projects concurrently. You’ll use your judgement to determine which projects and teams need most of your time. You’ll contribute to early engagements through strong communication skills, domain experience and knowledge gathered throughout your career.
This role requires you to have adept time-management and prioritisation skills to keep on top of your responsibilities. You’ll use your cross-project exposure to feedback to the Data & Data Science Leadership Team to guide understanding, improve consistency, and develop & implement initiatives to improve the community for the future.
Who We’re Looking For
You’ll need strong experience delivering and monitoring and scalable ML/AI solutions via automated ML Ops.
Ideally, you’ll also be technically skilled in most or all of the below:
Expert knowledge of Python and SQL, inc. the following libraries: Numpy, Pandas, PySpark and Spark SQL
Expert knowledge of ML Ops frameworks in the following categories:
experiment tracking and model metadata management (e.g. MLflow)
orchestration of ML workflows (e.g. Metaflow)
data and pipeline versioning (e.g. Data Version Control)
model deployment, serving and monitoring (e.g. Kubeflow)
Expert knowledge of automated artefact deployment using YAML based CI/CD pipelines and Terraform
Working knowledge of one or more ML engineering frameworks (e.g. TensorFlow, PyTorch, Keras, Scikit-Learn)
Working knowledge of object-oriented programming and unit testing in Python
Working knowledge of application and information security principles and practices (e.g. OWASP for Machine Learning)
Working knowledge of Unix-based CLI commands, source control and scripting
Working knowledge of containerisation (e.g. Docker) and container orchestration (e.g. Kubernetes)
Working knowledge of a cloud data platform (e.g. Databricks) and a data lakehouse architecture (e.g. Delta Lake)
Working knowledge of the AWS cloud technology stack (i.e. S3, Glue, DynamoDB, IAM, Lambdas, ELB, EKS)
