Summary: The role of Contract Machine Learning Engineer focuses on designing and building production-ready machine learning models on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This hands-on position emphasizes delivering scalable and reliable systems that address real business challenges. The contract is set for a duration of six months and is classified as outside IR35. The ideal candidate will transition models from concept to production, rather than remaining in research or experimentation phases.
Key Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and productionise machine learning models using GCP-native services
- Translate business problems into deployable ML solutions
- Develop and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines (training, testing, deployment, monitoring)
- Work with data scientists and engineers to operationalise models at scale
- Implement best practices for model performance, versioning, and lifecycle management
- Ensure solutions are secure, scalable, and cost-efficient within GCP
Key Skills:
- Strong hands-on experience building and deploying ML models on Google Cloud Platform
- Experience with services such as Vertex AI, BigQuery, Cloud Storage, and Cloud Functions / Cloud Run
- Solid Python experience for ML and data engineering workloads
- Experience productionising models (not just experimentation or notebooks)
- Understanding of MLOps concepts: CI/CD, monitoring, retraining, and model governance
- Ability to work independently in a contract environment and deliver at pace
