Senior Machine Learning Engineer - London - Up to £120,000

With a focus on hands-on model building and implementation, the candidate will work closely with a Data Scientist and be part of an R&D team of seven, including the Head of Engineering, Product, and five engineers. This is a standalone role, and the engineer will be expected to be largely self-sufficient.

Responsibilities and Key Deliverables
- Develop and maintain a ranking recommendation model that suggests recipes to users based on prior preferences, effectively serving as a product’s main feature.
- Greenfield, meaning the engineer will build the machine learning models from scratch.
- Full responsibility for ML model development, deployment, maintenance, and product integration.
- The candidate must advise on frameworks, architect solutions, and ensure models are product-oriented and sustainable for the long term.

Desired Candidate Profile
- Minimum 4-5 years of hands-on experience with machine learning in a commercial environment, with strong decision-making capabilities regarding model architecture and deployment.
- Preference for candidates with experience in B2C, subscription-based, or content-heavy start-ups, though experience with similar consumer products will also be considered.
- Highly autonomous, with the ability to manage both product scoping and technical execution. The candidate should understand the demands of an early-stage product and be comfortable with an evolving role in a lean, start-up-style environment.

Qualifications
- The focus is on hands-on experience over academic background candidates should be skilled in implementing practical ML solutions.
- A strong preference for candidates who are product-driven, with the ability to make decisions that align with long-term product goals.

Interview Process
1) Screening Call (30 mins) - Focus on culture fit and general understanding.
2) Data Engineering Interview (45-60 mins) - Includes a take-home data task that candidates will analyse and present to the hiring manager and Data Scientist.
