ML System Engineer
Physical Modelling Team
The Company
OctaiPipe is a young, ambitious company with the vision to be the global driving force for the next paradigm of foundational, physical AI that ensures our connected world, and its critical infrastructure, is safe, secure, and sustainable. We are growing fast, having closed a recent funding round and looking to accelerate rapidly. OctaiPipe is offering the right candidate an exciting role on this adventure!
OctaiPipe is on a mission to revolutionize the optimization of energy in data centers through decentralized artificial intelligence (AI). To do this, OctaiPipe is harnessing an elegant but revolutionary idea. Rather than move the data from the source, move the algorithms to the data to learn at the data source. This learning can be achieved with the intelligence of many devices through novel federated AI technology. OctaiPipe is developing the AI for Cooling Efficiency (ACE) application to be deployed using its own in-house distributed AI platform.
The Role
We are looking for a Machine Learning Systems Engineer to join our Physical Modelling team. You'll build and scale the platform that takes our machine learning models from research into reliable production, covering deployment, model serving, monitoring, and automated retraining across customer sites. Working closely with our Applied Scientists, who define what the models should do and when, you'll own how they're deployed, operated, and continuously improved in the real world. As the number of live deployments grows, you'll play a key role in ensuring our ML systems remain scalable, resilient, and reliable.
Reasons to use Rodeo
Start with a chat, not a search bar
Grad scheme, placement, apprenticeship? Not sure what you want yet — that's fine. Your agent talks it through with you and turns "I have no idea" into a shortlist.
It searches the market for you
Every day your agent scans the market matching roles against what actually matters to you, not just keywords on a CV.
Only hits
No noise. No "maybe this fits." Just roles with a clear explanation of why they're right — and where to focus when applying.
Duties and responsibilities
- Design, build, and operate the systems that take machine-learning models from research to production — training, evaluation, deployment, and serving.
- Build and maintain containerized services and APIs for model training, inference, and evaluation.
- Own model lifecycle management: versioning, release, rollout, and rollback across a growing number of production deployments.
- Build monitoring and observability for models and data in production.
- Automate retraining, evaluation, and deployment workflows to run reliably with minimal manual intervention.
- Work closely with applied scientists to productionize research: turn prototypes and specifications into robust, maintainable systems.
- Continuously reduce manual effort across the model lifecycle through automation and standardization.
Your profile
- Strong software engineering skills in Python — production code, tests, and documentation.
- Experience building and operating machine-learning systems in production: model serving, training, or inference pipelines, and GPU workloads.
- Docker and containerization, CI/CD, API design (FastAPI or similar), and solid Linux fundamentals.
- Experience deploying software beyond managed cloud — on-premise, edge, or customer-premise environments with real resource and connectivity constraints.
- Observability practice: metrics, logging, and alerting for production systems.

- Kubernetes experience, or experience operating industrial, IoT, or edge fleets.
- Experience orchestrating distributed or scheduled training jobs.
- Data-engineering experience with time-series or telemetry data.
- Experience hardening software that runs on customer premises.
- Exposure to energy systems, HVAC, or building controls.
Why Join OctaiPipe
- Work on real-world sustainability impact at global scale.
- Influence how AI is responsibly applied to critical infrastructure.
- Join a well-funded, rapidly growing scale-up with ambitious goals.
- Collaborate with experts across AI, infrastructure, and operations.
- Shape a product that can materially reduce energy use and carbon emissions worldwide.
