Contract Machine Learning Engineer (LLM & GC)
6-Month Contract | Outside IR35 | £600 per day
We are seeking an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to support the design and build, production ready ML models on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on turning models into scalable, reliable, production systems that solve real business problems.
The contract will run for at least 6-months, will be Outside IR35 at £600 per day, and we are looking to start the project at the beginning of March. This role suits a delivery-focused ML Engineer who enjoys taking models from concept through to production, rather than staying purely in research or experimentation.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and productionise machine learning models using GCP-native services
Translate business problems into deployable ML solutions
Develop and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines (training, testing, deployment, monitoring)
Work with data scientists and engineers to operationalise models at scale
Implement best practices for model performance, versioning, and lifecycle management
Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and cost-efficient within GCP
Required Experience
Strong hands-on experience building and deploying ML models on Google Cloud Platform
Experience with services such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions / Cloud Run
Solid Python experience for ML and data engineering workloads
Experience productionising models (not just experimentation or notebooks)
Understanding of MLOps concepts: CI/CD, monitoring, retraining, and model governance
Ability to work independently in a contract environment and deliver at pace
Nice to Have
Experience with real-time or near-real-time ML use cases
Exposure to data pipelines and orchestration tools
Prior work in regulated or large-scale enterprise environments
