  • Collaborate with cross-functional teams (designers, business analysts, engineers) to align technical implementation with business objectives

  • Optimise model performance, accuracy and scalability in production environments

  • Stay on the cutting edge of AI trends and research, evaluating new tools and frameworks

  • Participate in code reviews, technical workshops and agile planning sprints

What we look for

  • Typically 3 or more years of experience in AI or machine learning development, or data science roles

  • Strong programming skills in Python, including frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, scikit-learn and spaCy

  • Solid understanding of machine learning algorithms, deep learning architectures and evaluation metrics

  • Experience with NLP (text classification, entity recognition, chatbots) and/or computer vision (image classification, object detection)

  • Proficiency in deploying models using REST APIs, containers or serverless architectures

  • Familiarity with MLOps tools and practices, including model versioning, monitoring and retraining pipelines

  • Ability to translate business problems into AI-driven solutions, working with stakeholders to understand requirements and shape technical approaches that deliver meaningful outcomes
