    Description
    The Team

    Machine Learning Technology is a small and agile team that facilitates the use of machine learning tools across the firm, with a particular focus on generative AI. Alongside developing and provisioning the platform, you'll also consult with teams throughout the business assisting them in transforming their concepts into high-impact solutions.

    As an engineer in the ML Technology team, you'll help to develop a cutting-edge platform, collaborating closely with company-wide teams and individuals to deeply understand their needs and guide them in leveraging the platform. Where required, you will also use both the platform and your expertise to design and implement bespoke solutions to meet their requirements.

    Positioned at the crossroads of finance and the burgeoning field of AI engineering, the Machine Learning Technology team exists in a rapidly progressing space. This team provides an opportunity to make significant contributions across the business, developing solutions to problems that were very recently considered to be either impossible or extremely difficult to solve.

    The Technology

    Core systems are almost all running on Linux and most of the code is in Python, with the full scientific stack: numpy, scipy, pandas, scikit-learn to name a few of the libraries used extensively. For storage, they rely heavily on MongoDB. They use Docker, Kubernetes and Airflow to streamline deployments and leverage OpenFin and React for front-end development.

    Because of the small team size and the dynamic nature of the business, technology choices are not static and team members can explore new technologies freely. This means you will be able to shape the technology landscape and have a high impact early on.

    Working Here
