Senior Machine Learning Engineer

SeniorML Systems Engineers - Vision ML / Visual Data Processing

A privately backed AI technology company operating at the intersection of machine learning in the media industry.

You will own core ML infrastructure end to end, from data ingestion and curation through to distributed training and production inference, working with large-scale multimodal datasets (video, embeddings, metadata).

This is not a research role. The focus is on product ionising models, building reliable platforms, and making ML systems fast and scalable in a real production environment.

The ideal profile is an ML engineer transitioning from research into platform ownership - someone who is product-minded and outcome-driven rather than tech-for-tech's-sake. You should be comfortable bridging the gap between experimentation and production.

Key Responsibilities

• Build and evolve a data platform (LanceDB, Data Fusion, SQL and vector search) for large-scale multimodal datasets
• Design ML pipelines for video indexing and processing (face detection, quality assessment, tracking)
• Improve training performance across single and multi-node setups using PyTorch and Ray
• Build evaluation and experimentation systems (Parquet/Iceberg) for model output analysis
• Own model versioning, lifecycle management, and promotion to production
• Optimise inferen...
