* Implement monitoring, testing, and model performance evaluation frameworks.
* Work with engineering teams to ensure seamless integration of ML models into products.
* Contribute to improving infrastructure, tooling, and best practices for ML development and deployment.
Skills & Experience
Essential:
* Strong programming skills in Python (and frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Scikit-learn).
* Proven experience in developing and deploying machine learning models in production.
* Solid understanding of data structures, algorithms, and software engineering principles.
* Experience with ML pipelines and orchestration tools (e.g., Airflow, Kubeflow, MLflow).
* Proficiency in working with cloud services (AWS, GCP, or Azure).
* Strong understanding of CI/CD, containerisation (Docker), and orchestration (Kubernetes).
* Excellent problem-solving skills and ability to work independently in a fast-paced environment.
Desirable:
* Experience with NLP, computer vision, or time-series forecasting.
* Familiarity with distributed computing frameworks (Spark, Ray).
* Experience with MLOps and model governance practices.
* Previous contract experience in a similar ML engineering role.
Contract Details
* Duration: 6–12 months (extension possible)
* Location: London (Hybrid working model)
* Day Rate: Competitive, depending on experience
