About the role:
A rapidly expanding online-only platform is a search of an enthusiastic Machine Learning Engineer to join their Machine Vision team. This role focuses on developing high-quality, performant computer vision models and pushing boundaries by building innovative GenAI applications utilising Large Language Models (LLM). You will be joining a team whose mission is to streamline profiling and transform the online selling and buying experience for all customers.
In this role, you'll collaborate closely with machine learning engineers, backend engineers, and product managers to develop scalable, high-performing ML solutions that elevate the customer journey. By applying your expertise in computer vision and exploring advanced Gen AI technologies, you'll create new applications that elevate the process for everyone involved.

Key Responsibilities:
·Contribute to the development, deployment, and maintenance of computer vision models (image and/or video) in production environments, ensuring optimal performance, reliability, and scalability.
·Demonstratable experience in developing and shipping GenAI solutions utilising Large Language Models (LLMs).
·Develop and implement best practices for MLOps, including version control, CI/CD pipelines, containerisation, and cloud-based orchestration.
·Collaborate cross-functionally: Work closely with data analysts, product managers, and business stakeholders to translate business needs into technical solutions.
·You have experience in, and a passion for, mentoring other ML practitioners, sharing knowledge and raising the technical bar across the team.
