Senior Machine Learning Platform Engineer

You'll be joining the Machine Learning Platform team. We work on the tooling and best practices that supercharge ML at Deliveroo, ensuring our models can iterate quickly and deploy reliably to production.

Here's what your day-to-day might look like:

• Design and drive the direction for the centralised machine learning platform that powers all of Deliveroo's business decisions.
• Build and scale infrastructure for training and deployment pipelines, model serving, and feature stores using tools like Metaflow and Kubernetes.
• Collaborate with product and platform teams to build standardised tooling capabilities that drive MLOps practices across the entire company.
• Develop libraries and best practices to make the ML ecosystem more accessible, reliable, and easier to use for our internal engineering partners.
• Automate and document platform operations, turning complex learnings into repeatable actions and self-healing systems.

Our ideal candidate will bring strong expertise in some of these areas and curiosity to grow in others:

• Significant experience writing high-quality code in Python and Go (or a proven ability to master new languages if coming from a strong backend background).
• Demonstrated ownership of ML infrastructure, including familiarity with modelling frameworks like TensorFlow, Scikit-Learn, or PyTorch.
• Strong Infrastructure as Code skills, ideally with Terraform, and experience managing containerised workloads on AWS (EKS, ECS, or Lambda).
• Proven ability to collaborate across teams, working with PMs and Data Scientists to translate complex requirements into scalable platform features.
• Knowledge of distributed services and event streaming, specifically using Kafka for real-time data processing.
• A passion for the ML Platform area, including a keen interest in the evolving landscape of LLMs and MLOps.
