LondonInsight – Data Analytics /Full Time /HybridApply for this jobAbout MoneyboxAt Moneybox, we believe that building wealth throughout life, and all of the freedom, opportunities, and peace of mind that come with it, should be possible for everyone.We launched in 2016 with our now-famous round-ups feature, and helped thousands of people start investing with just their spare change. Fast forward to today, and we’re now helping more than one and a half million people build wealth throughout their lives. Whether they’re saving and investing, buying their first home, or planning for retirement, our customers are guaranteed a service they can rely on, that supports them through every step, and celebrates with them along the way.While Moneybox is a wealth management platform, we’re guided by our belief that wealth isn’t about the money. It’s about the means to more – more freedom and possibility, more opportunities and more peace of mind.Job BriefIn the next chapter of Moneybox - we are building a comprehensive AI system - Moneybox Aurora - that helps guide users to achieve more, and to have confidence and peace of mind while doing it. The machine learning team sits at the forefront of this development. We develop both the ML models that power the “brain” of Aurora, but we also build the core decisioning frameworks that guide our users and ensure our systems are safe, reliable, and act in their best interests.The core ML problem we have is tied to guiding the customer to the right solution. It encompasses many problem sets, e.g. NLP, recommendation systems and symbolic reasoning using specifically trained SLM’s.We host all of our models internally. We develop using Databricks@Azure, and we deploy through Databricks, or directly on Azure Kubernetes Service (AKS).This role will work very closely with our ML researchers and data scientists, to productionise code, streamline solutions and create efficient deployment packages. You'll be the bridge between cutting-edge research and production systems, translating research prototypes into robust, scalable, and maintainable products.

What you’ll do

  • You will work with other ML researchers, data scientists and ML engineers to:
  • Help deploy production-ready code from other ML engineers and ML researchers and provide guidance in deployable code best practices
  • Work with ML researchers to identify and engineer efficient deployment patterns for deep learning models
  • Help prepare the data, restructure it and ensure good contracts with the BE teams on the interfaces where they are requesting ML inference
  • Choose inference frameworks and help productionise solutions in an efficient manner
  • Learn and evolve - we’re keeping at the cutting edge of what current DL and LLM research provides - we expect you to learn and evolve with us
