About Faculty

At Faculty, we transform organisational performance through safe, impactful and human-centric AI.

With more than a decade of experience, we provide over 350 global customers with software, bespoke AI consultancy, and Fellows from our award winning Fellowship programme.

Our expert team brings together leaders from across government, academia and global tech giants to solve the biggest challenges in applied AI.

Should you join us, you’ll have the chance to work with, and learn from, some of the brilliant minds who are bringing Frontier AI to the frontlines of the world.

What You'll Be Doing

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer at Faculty, you'll design, build, and deploy production-grade software, infrastructure, and MLOps systems that leverage machine learning.

You'll be engineering-focused, with a keen interest and working knowledge of operationalised machine learning in the Professional and Financial Services domain. You have a desire to take cutting-edge ML applications into the real world. You will develop new methodologies and champion best practices for managing AI systems deployed at scale, with regard to technical, ethical and practical requirements. You will support both technical and non-technical stakeholders to deploy ML to solve real-world problems. To enable this, we work in cross-functional teams with representation from commercial, data science, product management and design specialities to cover all aspects of AI product delivery.

The Machine Learning Engineering team is responsible for the engineering aspects of our customer delivery projects. As a Machine Learning Engineer, you’ll be essential to helping us achieve that goal by:

• Building software and infrastructure that leverages Machine Learning;

• Creating reusable, scalable tools to enable better delivery of ML systems

• Working with our customers to help understand their needs

• Working with data scientists and engineers to develop best practices and new technologies; and

• Implementing and developing Faculty’s view on what it means to operationalise ML software.

We’re a rapidly growing organisation, so roles are dynamic and subject to change. Your role will evolve alongside business needs, but you can expect your key responsibilities to include:

• Working in cross-functional teams of engineers, data scientists, designers and managers to deliver technically sophisticated, high-impact systems.

• Leading on the scope and design of projects

• Offering leadership and management to more junior engineers on the team

• Providing technical expertise to our customers

• Technical Delivery

Who We're Looking For

To succeed in this role, you’ll need the following - these are illustrative requirements and we don’t expect all applicants to have experience in everything (70% is a rough guide):

• You bring recent, hands-on experience designing and running production systems that rely on large language models and modern ML frameworks.

• You possess deep knowledge of established LLM engineering practices — evaluation pipelines, agent orchestration, and retrieval-augmented generation.

• Experience in Software Engineering including programming in Python.

• Understanding of and interest in the full machine learning lifecycle, including deploying trained machine learning models developed using common frameworks such as Scikit-learn, TensorFlow, or PyTorch

• Technical experience of cloud architecture, security, deployment, and open-source tools. Hands-on experience required of at least one major cloud platform

• Demonstrable experience with containers and specifically Docker and Kubernetes

• You excel at conveying complex technical ideas to executives, product leaders, and engineers, fostering strong cross-functional relationships..

• You thrive amid ambiguity, effortlessly shifting domains and translating open-ended business problems into clear, pragmatic solutions.

What we can offer you:

The Faculty team is diverse and distinctive, and we all come from different personal, professional and organisational backgrounds. We all have one thing in common: we are driven by a deep intellectual curiosity that powers us forward each day.

Faculty is the professional challenge of a lifetime. You’ll be surrounded by an impressive group of brilliant minds working to achieve our collective goals.

Our consultants, product developers, business development specialists, operations professionals and more all bring something unique to Faculty, and you’ll learn something new from everyone you meet.
