Drive Innovation. Lead the Future of Machine Learning/AI Engineer
Are you ready to lead a world‑class Machine Learning team delivering cutting‑edge, production‑grade systems?
We're looking for aLead Machine Learning Engineer — a "plug-and-play" leader with proven experience in people management and deep technical expertise — to shape the direction of our GenAI and retrieval-focused streams.
This is a leadership role where you’ll not only design and build advanced machine learning solutions but also line‑manage engineers, coordinate delivery across high‑impact ML projects, and define the technical bar across the team. Your compensation reflects both the strategic leadership scope and technical excellence expected in this role.
What you'll be doing:
Lead and manage a team of machine learning engineers — providing mentorship, setting performance standards, and guiding career development.
Set the technical direction for GenAI and retrieval-based systems, ensuring consistent architecture, tooling, and research-to-production workflows.
Act as delivery owner across multiple ML streams, coordinating timelines, resources, and cross‑functional collaboration.
Drive best practices for scalable, reproducible, and robust ML system development.
Be hands‑on when needed, contributing to model development and high‑impact technical decisions.
Stay on top of research and emerging trends, bringing innovative approaches to real‑world problems.
Promote a culture of experimentation, open communication, and continuous learning across the team.
What you'll bring:
Experience line‑managing ML engineers and leading delivery across multiple, concurrent ML workstreams.
Strong technical background in machine learning engineering — with production‑level experience in Python, SQL, and frameworks like PyTorch or scikit-learn.
Deep expertise in GenAI, LLMs, RAG systems, NLP, recommendation engines, or information retrieval stacks.
Strong understanding of the full model lifecycle — from research, experimentation to deployment and monitoring.
Familiarity with cloud‑based ML infrastructure — especially AWS.
Clear communication skills, strategic mindset, and the ability to make trade-offs in a fast‑moving, startup‑style environment.
This is more than just a leadership role — it’s a chance to help shape one of the most advanced Machine Learning teams in the UK. If you're looking to step into a role with real ownership, high impact, and the opportunity to define what great ML engineering looks like, we want to hear from you.
