Job Description

Primary Location: London · Canary Wharf HQ (on-site). We plan to open a US office in the next ~6 months and will sponsor transfer visa for team members open to relocation.

We're looking for an ML engineer with deep experience in feature engineering, model development, and MLOps. You'll develop multi-agent systems, optimise distributed model training, and create AI agents that autonomously handle the entire ML development lifecycle.


Responsibilities

•\tProduct Development: build distributed ML infra, multi-agent systems, observability, client-facing APIs, and more - eventually owning your own product or product lines.

•\tTechnical Leadership: drive technical decisions and architecture design, helping shape the foundations of our platform.

•\tCross-Functional Collaboration: work closely with co-founders to translate business vision and customer feedback into actionable engineering plans.

•\tOwnership: take full product ownership from ideation to launch, including integration into existing systems. Your roadmap is one quick chat away from reality.


Qualifications

Must-Have:

•\t3+ yrs building ML/AI systems that served real users.

•\tStrong Python; comfort with AWS, Docker, Terraform/CDK, Postgres, etc.

•\tSolid grounding in ML algorithms, MLOps, and data science workflows.

•\tExperience with Spark, TensorFlow, Kafka, or similar tools.

Nice-to-Have:

•\tBuilt agentic workflows / LLM tool-use.

•\tExperience with MLFlow, WandB, LangFuse, or other MLOps tools.

•\tExperience with React, FastAPI, or other common web frameworks.


Why Plexe?

•\tHard problems: we're automating the entire ML/AI lifecycle from data engineering to insights.

•\tHigh ownership: first 5 engineers write the culture as well as the code. You have the power to fix whatever issue you can point at.

•\tExciting environment: work at a fast-paced YC-backed startup with one foot in Silicon Valley.

•\tLocation and compensation: sweet office in central Canary Wharf; equity that can matter.
