• Automating a test framework for a suite of machine learning models. This may include:
  • Developing integration and regression tests for ML components and data pipelines.
  • Monitoring model performance and data drift using automated validation tools.
  • Building tools to simulate edge cases, production-like scenarios, and adversarial conditions.
• Operationalising and benchmarking shadow deployments to validate challenger model performance. This includes defining criteria for model promotion or rollback.
• Contribute to the research and development of new use cases or extend challenger models.

Qualifications

We are looking for someone who:

• Communicates complex concepts clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders, articulating trade-offs and decision rationale.
• Has demonstrated extensive knowledge of ML system design, from feature engineering to model selection and performance optimisation.
