Senior MLOps & Data Engineer
Location: Oxford Based (Hybrid)
Type: Permanent
Salary: £90,000 - £120,000 + Bonus + Equity + Benefits
The Opportunity
We're supporting an innovative biotechnology organisation that is investing heavily in the next generation of data, machine learning and scientific computing capabilities.
As part of a growing technology team, you will play a key role in building the infrastructure that enables scientists, engineers and researchers to develop, deploy and scale machine learning solutions within a highly data-driven environment.
This is a hands-on position suited to an experienced engineer who enjoys solving complex technical challenges across cloud infrastructure, data platforms, workflow automation and machine learning operations. You will help transform research and analytical workflows into reliable, secure and scalable production systems.
Responsibilities
- Design and build scalable MLOps infrastructure to support model deployment, monitoring, retraining and lifecycle management.
- Productionise machine learning and scientific computing workflows using Python, container technologies and modern software engineering practices.
- Develop cloud-native data pipelines across AWS and GCP to support ingestion, transformation, storage and inference workloads.
- Build integrations between laboratory systems, operational platforms and cloud environments using APIs and event-driven architectures.
- Support the collection, processing and management of large-scale experimental and operational datasets.
- Establish best practices for model versioning, experiment tracking, reproducibility, observability and platform governance.
- Collaborate with scientific, engineering and operational teams to convert research code into reliable internal products and services.
- Contribute to the design of AI-driven workflow orchestration and intelligent automation solutions.
- Improve platform reliability, security, scalability and cost efficiency.
- Create and maintain technical documentation, standards and operational runbooks.
