A leading global investment bank is seeking a Senior Python ML Engineer to join its infrastructure and platform engineering division, contributing to the design and build of automation solutions that modernise and streamline backup, storage, and workload‑management systems across the enterprise.
In this role, you’ll help develop a scalable platform that abstracts legacy backup applications, automates workload placement, and enables end‑users to self‑service via REST APIs. You’ll collaborate closely with SMEs across backup, storage, databases, and UNIX engineering to define the current and future state of the platform, shaping a multi‑stage migration strategy that supports global teams and business‑critical operations.
Key Responsibilities
* Design and develop Python‑based automation solutions and REST API services enabling self‑service and improved workload orchestration.
* Build scalable, reliable components using modern technology stacks while integrating with legacy systems where required.
* Work with global engineering teams to review existing processes, identify gaps, and define future‑state architectures.
* Partner with SMEs across backup, storage, database, and UNIX environments to deliver robust, interoperable solutions.
* Debug complex, novel issues that require deep investigation beyond standard documentation.
* Communicate technical solutions clearly to stakeholders with diverse technical backgrounds.
Skills & Experience
Required
* Strong experience with message queues (Kafka, RabbitMQ, Celery, etc.).
* Proven ability to design and develop REST API servers.
* Strong experience with ML and its practical application in automation or systems tooling.
* Advanced debugging skills and the ability to reason about novel issues.
* Strong analytical mindset with sound judgement and willingness to explore new ideas.
* Excellent communication and interpersonal skills, especially in cross‑functional and customer‑facing contexts.
* Strong organisational skills and the ability to manage multiple priorities.
* Experience with backup and data protection tools (e.g., Veritas NetBackup).
* Understanding of data deduplication technologies.
* Experience in UNIX and/or Windows Server administration.
* Familiarity with storage technologies such as SAN, NAS and S3 object storage.
