Machine Learning Engineer

Lead Machine Learning Engineer (Generative AI & Agentic Systems) Location: London, UK (Hybrid: 2 days/week in-office) Type: 12-Month Contract The Opportunity Are you a hands-on leader in the AI space? We are looking for a Lead ML Engineer to spearhead the design, deployment, and optimization of sophisticated AI models and Agentic Systems. This isn't just about standard predictive modeling—you’ll be building autonomous agents that reason and execute, leveraging the latest in LLM fine-tuning, RAG pipelines, and scalable MLOps. The Core Mission • Architect & Build: Design and implement AI algorithms and architectures, moving from raw concepts to robust frameworks. • Agentic Systems & LLMs: Develop intelligent AI agents capable of reasoning and planning. Expertly handle LLM fine-tuning (PEFT, LoRA, QLoRA) and RAG pipelines. • Data Orchestration: Build ETL/ELT pipelines and feature engineering workflows to integrate structured and unstructured data into centralized platforms. • End-to-End MLOps: Own the lifecycle—from CI/CD automation and containerization (Docker/Kubernetes) to versioning and infrastructure management. • Responsible AI: Ensure every system is trustworthy, fair, and explainable, implementing quantifiable metrics for bias detection and regulatory compliance. Technical Toolkit • Models: LLMs, Generative AI, Agentic workflows. • Engineering: PEFT, Vector Databases (Pinecone/Milvus/Weaviate), Prompt Engineering. • Ops: Docker, Kubernetes, CI/CD, Experiment Tracking (MLflow/W&B). • Data: ETL/ELT, Feature Stores, Performance Tuning. Who You Are • A Technical Lead: You can bridge the gap between Data Science, Software Engineering, and the business. • A Precision Engineer: You value documentation, data governance, and "bulletproof" deployment. • A Strategic Thinker: You don’t just build; you optimize for scalability, performance, and cost-efficiency. Logistics • Contract: 12-month initial term. • Location: London-based office. Candidates must be able to commute to the office 2 days per week (mandatory). Are you ready to build the next generation of autonomous AI? #MLEngineer #GenAI #LLM #MachineLearning #AgenticSystems #MLOps #LondonJobs #ContractHiring #DataScience #ArtificialIntelligence #AIJobs
