Your Role
We're hiring a Senior MLOps Engineer for our Hardware Group to build and scale the machine learning infrastructure that powers Focus, our line of smart cameras. You'll own the edge deployment pipelines that transport neural networks from training clusters to tens of thousands of devices globally, and contribute to the platform that compiles trained models into optimized inference engines for devices like the Jetson Orin, building the "nervous system" for the next generation of automated sports capture.
As a Senior MLOps Engineer, you'll:
- Build scalable Edge infrastructure. You'll design, develop, and maintain the delivery systems that enable us to deploy models to fleets of devices.
- Own the model compilation platform. You'll build and maintain the pipeline that takes trained models and produces optimized, hardware-specific inference engines — managing TensorRT compilation, precision trade-offs (FP16/INT8), calibration, and engine validation to ensure models run reliably and efficiently on target devices.
- Work with cross-functional teams. You'll collaborate with Data Scientists, Embedded Engineers, and Product Managers to ensure smooth integration of complex features and capabilities.
- Drive automation and reliability. You'll implement infrastructure to silently test candidate models on production devices and build telemetry pipelines to monitor drift, thermal impact, and inference latency in the wild.
- Solve complex physical challenges. You'll tackle the unique constraints of the edge - building resilient update mechanisms for low-bandwidth environments, optimizing for limited storage, and ensuring devices recover gracefully from network failures.
- Mentor and lead. You'll share your expertise to establish best practices in Python tooling, Infrastructure-as-Code, and CI/CD, guiding the team toward a more robust, automated future.
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.
We'd like to hire someone for this role who lives near our offices in London or Barcelona, but we're also open to remote candidates in the UK and Spain.
Must-Haves
- Production MLOps expertise. You've played a key role in building and operating pipelines that deploy models to production, with deep experience in CI/CD, containerization (Docker), and Linux systems.
- Edge inference & compilation know-how. You have hands-on experience compiling and optimizing models for embedded hardware - ideally with TensorRT - and understand the practical implications of precision, quantisation, and engine validation at scale.
- Collaborative. You understand that shipping to hardware is a team sport and can communicate effectively with researchers and low-level embedded engineers to translate constraints into solutions.
- Systems thinking. You can design architectures that handle failure gracefully and understand the implications of deploying to 10,000 heterogeneous devices, including how to manage risk via canary releases and safe rollbacks.
- Bias towards action. You see your role as solving problems; this means filling gaps and taking initiative as needed to help the team win together.
Nice-to-Haves
- Experience with our Edge AI stack. Experience with the NVIDIA edge ecosystem (Jetson Orin, DeepStream SDK, TensorRT) is a huge plus.
- Video Technologies. Familiarity with video pipelines, GStreamer, or ffmpeg.
- Fleet management. Experience with tools like AWS IoT Greengrass, Balena, or custom OTA / fleet management solutions.
- Sports Passion. You have an interest in sports technology, video analytics, or performance metrics—but if not, we'll teach you the domain.

Our Role
- Champion work-life harmony. We’ll give you the flexibility you need in your work life (e.g., flexible vacation time, company-wide holidays and timeout (meeting-free) days, remote work options and more) so you can enjoy your personal life too.
- Guarantee autonomy. We have an open, honest culture and we trust our people from day one. Your team will support you, but you’ll own your work and have the agency to try new ideas.
- Encourage career growth. We’re lifelong learners who encourage professional development. We’ll give you tons of resources and opportunities to keep growing.
- Provide an environment to help you succeed. We've invested in our offices, designing incredible spaces with our employees in mind. But whether you’re at the office or working remotely, we’ll provide you the tech stack and hardware to do your best work.
- Support your wellbeing. Depending on location, we offer medical and retirement benefits for employees—but no matter where you’re located, we have resources like our Employee Assistance Program and employee resource groups to support your mental health.
