AI Maturity Specialist

You'll partner with mature ML squads to help them level up model design, performance, reliability, and experimentation practices, ensuring solutions are scalable and production-ready. This is a hands-on, technical role with high stakeholder unidirectional for someone who enjoys improving how strong teams operate.

What You'll Be Doing

• Enhance ML capability across existing teams already using Databricks
• Provide guidance on advanced model design, evaluation, optimisation, and best-practice delivery
• Support production ML improvements: scaling, reliability, monitoring, performance/latency optimisation
• Improve experimentation frameworks (e.g., reproducibility, model comparison, A/B testing approaches)
• Influence and challenge effectively-bringing rigor while staying pragmatic and delivery-focused
• Communicate clearly with technical and non-technical stakeholders, translating complexity into action

• Expert-level Python across the ML stack
• Strong, hands-on Machine Learning experience (model design, optimisation, evaluation)
• Strong Deep Learning experience (neural networks, modern architectures)
• Strong Databricks experience (working in teams delivering ML on the platform)
• Deep understanding of MLOps (production systems, scaling, reliability, monitoring, reproducibility)
• Proven technical credibility-able to influence experienced ML teams confidently
• Excellent communication and stakeholder engagement

Nice to Have

• GenAI experience (any practical exposure is beneficial)

What My Client Is Looking For (Behavioural Fit)

• Self-starter who needs minimal direction
• Pragmatic delivery mindset (balances best practice with what works for the business)
• Strong structured problem-solving for ambiguous challenges
• Patient, collaborative approach-able to coach without ego
