You will bridge the gap between Data Science experiments and production-grade products, ensuring that our AI solutions solve real-world problems for home hunters and partners. A typical week as a Machine Learning Engineer might involve • Working with data scientists to take models from initial development to production-grade features with scalability and user-experience in mind. • Building 'scrappy' internal tools or prototypes to validate AI concepts before scaling them into full production pipelines • Designing and maintaining the ML pipelines (training, deployment, monitoring) that keep our product-facing models running smoothly. • Translating model performance into business metrics (e.g., accuracy vs cost/latency trade-offs) • Collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver AI and ML features that directly impact customer experience • Automating feature engineering and data pipeline processes, ensuring reproducibility and auditability • Implementing monitoring and observability to detect drift, bias, and performance degradation, and setting up rollback/recovery processes • Using MLOps tools (e.g., Vertex Pipelines/Kubeflow, W&B) for experiment tracking, model registry, and automated deployment • Leveraging Docker/Kubernetes and workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster) We’re looking for someone who • Has experience shipping and maintaining AI or ML systems in production, ideally including large scale batch inference pipelines and online inference microservices, with retraining and monitoring • Understands the full ML lifecycle and can design for long-term resilience without losing sight of the immediate product goal. • Has strong programming skills (Python, SQL) and experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn) • Experienced with cloud platforms (ideally GCP: BigQuery, Vertex AI, Dataflow) • Is comfortable with CI/CD, Git, and containerisation/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) • Has strong communication skills to explain trade-offs and influence both technical and non-technical colleagues • Is proactive, detail-oriented, and motivated to learn emerging ML engineering tools We would love someone to have any of the following • Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related STEM subject • 3+ years of experience as an ML Engineer, Data Engineer, or similar • Hands-on with model monitoring, observability, and retraining pipelines • Exposure to feature stores, registries, and experimentation frameworks • Familiarity with business-driven metrics and experience balancing ML performance with commercial goals • Experience with LLM and Agentic AI frameworks (e.g. ADK, LangChain, AutoGen) About Rightmove Our vision is to give everyone the belief that they can make their move.
