Hybrid: Two days on-site every other week
Day Rate: Competitive, inside IR35

We're supporting a major organisation investing heavily in AI and Machine Learning, looking for an experienced Tech Lead to lead the delivery of production ML platforms.

This is a leadership role, owning a product area and leading multidisciplinary teams across Software Engineering, Data Engineering, DevOps and Data Science while driving MLOps best practice.

• 6+ years in a Tech Lead, Engineering Manager or similar leadership role.

• Experience leading engineering teams of 15+.

• Strong Python and TypeScript experience.

• Recent hands-on MLOps experience across the full ML life cycle.

• AWS experience.

• Knowledge of ML platforms such as SageMaker, MLflow or similar.

• Strong stakeholder management and technical leadership skills.

This role is suited to someone with recent end-to-end MLOps experience, from model training and deployment through to monitoring and operational management, rather than a purely GenAI or LLM-focused background.
