Maintaining and iterating on models post-deployment, taking ownership of performance monitoring and optimisation.
Writing well-structured, reusable code that adheres to best practices for collaboration, scalability, and maintenance.
Promoting your work and contributing to the visibility of the team both internally and externally.
Coaching peers and less experienced team members through example and support.
Ensuring all work aligns with internal compliance and governance frameworks, reporting any concerns where appropriate.

Requirements

A solid academic foundation in a relevant degree (MSc or higher, ideally).
Proven success designing, building, and deploying machine learning models into production environments.
Strong Python and SQL skills, with practical experience using distributed processing tools such as Spark.
A proactive, self-starting approach to problem solving, especially in cases where clear precedents or frameworks don’t exist.
Clear and confident communication skills; able to collaborate effectively with both technical teams and non-technical stakeholders.
Solid understanding of experimentation methodologies, including AB testing and statistical analysis.
An interest in sports, gaming, or personalisation domains is highly advantageous.
Familiarity with CI/CD practices and the broader software delivery lifecycle, including governance and release management.
A mentoring mindset, with a desire to coach junior team members and raise the overall capability of the team.
