We are seeking a highly pragmatic, results-driven Machine Learning (ML) Engineer to join our newly established US Data team. In this role, you will build the reliable, automated infrastructure that powers our machine learning lifecycle.

Your primary mission is to operationalize and scale the models developed by our data science team, taking them from prototype to robust, production-grade systems with high velocity.

You'll focus on building reliable, automated and maintainable systems, keeping solutions pragmatic rather than over-engineered. You will also be passionate about automation, software engineering excellence, and MLOps.

You will report to the Data Science Team Leader and work in close alignment with the US AgentOps Team Lead (responsible for agentic and model orchestration platforms) and our UK technical excellence center. You will act as the bridge between model development and reliable platform engineering.

The listed salary for this position is $120,000 - $140,000 annually.

• Proven experience as an ML Engineer, Data Engineer, or Software Engineer with a clear focus on deploying, monitoring, and scaling machine learning systems in production.
• A pragmatic, proactive approach to system design, prioritizing speed, reliability, and business value over complex, theoretical infrastructure.
• Strong Python programming skills, with a solid grasp of software engineering patterns, API development, and automated testing frameworks.
• Extensive hands-on experience with Google Cloud Platform (GCP).
• Practical experience with Vertex AI (specifically Vertex AI Pipelines, Endpoints, and Workbench).
• Proficiency with containerization (Docker) and container orchestration tools.
• Excellent communication skills, with the ability to translate software engineering concepts for data scientists and operational requirements for product leads.
• Experience utilizing Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools such as Terraform.
• Experience running containerized workloads on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE).
• Familiarity with real-time streaming tools like Apache Kafka or GCP Pub/Sub.

• Owning the deployment of machine learning models to production. Build and maintain scalable, low-latency prediction endpoints using GCP Vertex AI.
• Designing, implementing, and maintaining CI/CD/CT (Continuous Integration, Continuous Delivery, Continuous Training) pipelines for machine learning workflows using Vertex AI Pipelines, Cloud Build, and related GCP tools.
• Setting up automated monitoring and alerting frameworks (e.g., Vertex AI Model Monitoring) to track data drift, model drift, and system performance in real-time.
• Championing best practices for software engineering within the Data Science team, including robust unit testing, containerization, version control, and CI/CD automation.
• Working closely with the Data Science Team Leader, Junior Data Scientists, and the AgentOps Team Lead to accelerate deployment cycles, remove operational bottlenecks, and maintain high deployment velocity.
