About Solvo.ai
Solvo.ai is redefining global container shipping with AI. We build machine learning systems that power intelligent, sustainable, and profitable decision-making for one of the world’s most complex industries. Our models help container shipping companies price in volatile markets—unlocking measurable impact on every vessel, every route, every day.
Our team brings decades of experience across logistics, artificial intelligence, and scaling startups. We focus on developing solutions that are not only innovative but proven in production—transforming the economics of global trade. We’re proud of what we achieve and how we work: with professionalism, integrity, and transparency.
We are looking for someone to join the team in the next 3 months.
The Role
We’re looking for a skilled and motivated Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our team and help advance the next generation of Solvo’s AI products. This is a hands-on role at the intersection of research and production, where your work will contribute directly to how container vessels around the world are priced.
You’ll collaborate closely with scientists, engineers, and industry experts—designing, building, and deploying models that deliver real value for customers. From data exploration and algorithm development to scalable system design, you’ll play a key role across the full ML lifecycle and see your work in action at global scale.
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.
If you want to apply cutting-edge machine learning to a trillion-dollar industry and you’re excited by solving meaningful, complex problems, we’d love to hear from you.
What You’ll Do
- Advance Solvo’s decision-making and pricing models through innovative ML engineering and research.
- Advance Solvo’s digital model of global shipping lanes so that it captures as much real-world complexity as possible.
- Design, implement, and deploy production-grade ML systems with scalability and robustness in mind.
- Translate state-of-the-art research (probabilistic modelling, optimisation, deep learning) into customer-ready solutions.
- Work collaboratively within a cross-functional team to deliver measurable impact to global shipping customers.
- Communicate complex ideas clearly to both technical and non-technical audiences.
- Continue developing your own skills and contribute to a supportive culture of learning and innovation.
What We’re Looking For
