• Designing, building and maintaining production-grade machine learning systems that power personalisation and product discovery
• Developing and improving recommender systems, ranking models and customer-facing machine learning capabilities
• Deploying models into batch and real-time environments, ensuring reliability, scalability and performance at scale
• Collaborating with Applied Scientists and Engineers to take models from experimentation into robust production systems
• Monitoring, evaluating and iterating on models using real-world customer behaviour and performance metrics
• Contributing to engineering best practices, MLOps tooling and shared machine learning platform capabilities
• Helping to improve how machine learning is developed, deployed and operated across the organisation
