About The Role
The AI & ML Engineering team accelerates the adoption of AI across the business, championing innovation while ensuring our machine learning solutions are robust, scalable, and cost-efficient. We enable teams to solve problems using existing AI tools where possible and build custom solutions when needed. Our remit spans AI enablement, agentic systems development, and "conventional" ML engineering for non-GenAI applications e.g. recommender systems, forecasting models, and more.
We're looking for an AI & ML Engineer who is passionate about building production-ready AI and machine learning solutions. You'll work across a variety of AI initiatives, contributing to the design, implementation and deployment of scalable AI systems.
You will be expected to deliver high-quality AI/ML solutions across the full development lifecycle, from proof of concept through to production and ongoing optimisation. Working closely with other engineers and stakeholders across the business, you'll contribute to building reusable platforms, services and best practices while continuously developing your technical expertise.
