We are looking for a

Senior Machine Learning Engineer

Location: London

The role

As a Senior Machine Learning Engineer, you will be part of our newly formed cross-functional squads that consist of people from different job functions across Rightmove including Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Software Developers, Machine Learning Ops Engineers, and a Product Owner. The squads are collaborative, ambitious, and determined teams that work with a high degree of autonomy and velocity, and value innovation and impact. They sit within the Data and Analytics Team, which is part of the Product Development organisation and plays a pivotal role in delivering exciting solutions. 

Last year Rightmove launched a project called RAID (Rightmove AI Discovery) which was an opportunity to successfully explore, experiment and innovate with generative AI. The outputs from RAID, combined with the prioritised Hackathon ideas have contributed to our future product roadmaps and we are looking for a Senior Machine Learning Engineer to build efficient, data-driven AI systems that advance both our prediction automation and generative AI capabilities. 

We are proud to be a team that is currently growing and enriching its data and data science capabilities to deliver effective and impactful solutions in an industry that is exciting, interesting, relevant, and challenging. You will be taking an active part in our AI platform - driving the development, implementation and scale-up of algorithms for measurable impact across the business, and creating the tools, frameworks and infrastructures that enables the acceleration of both delivery and optimisation of machine learning and generative AI products.

Join us in our exciting journey as we push the frontiers of Machine Learning and Generative AI. Your expertise and contributions will be invaluable in shaping the future of our AI capability and platform.

A typical week as a Senior Machine Learning Engineer might involve

Leading the effort to design, build, implement, and scale the end-to-end architecture for traditional machine learning and generative AI models. Collaborating with data engineers and software engineers to build scalable and reliable infrastructure, as part of our unified data platform (Data Hive) that supports diverse machine learning workloads. Working with large datasets, clean and pre-process data, and engineer features to make them suitable for machine learning models. This may involve data cleaning, normalization, and handling missing values. Acting as a bridge between data scientists who may not have the experience of building scalable systems, and backend engineers who may lack experience with machine learning or generative AI based systems Actively engage in all aspects of model development, from ideation and experimentation to deployment Support defining priorities and roadmap – deciding what we need first and what we need to build vs. what to buy, in partnership with other teams. Collaborating with senior management and key stakeholders in identifying and prioritising actionable, impactful insights across a variety of core business fronts, driving informed decision-making across the business and, hence, enhancing Rightmove’s capability to achieve goals and objectives Provide support to various data projects and OKRs such as contributing to the exciting data engineering development of Rightmove’s unified data platform – Data Hive

A Bachelors degree, MSc or PhD in Computer Science, Mathematics, Computational Statistics, Machine Learning, or related STEM field 5+ years of relevant machine learning and data engineering experience within a fast-paced complex business setting  Expertise in understanding and implementing generative models, such as Generative Adversarial Networks (GANs), Variational Autoencoders (VAEs), and autoregressive models like Transformers Professional experience in SQL and Python beyond scripting; knowledge of basic paradigms (e.g. Object-orientated programming), related tools (e.g. Git) and core libraries and deep learning frameworks (e.g. PyTorch, Tensorflow, Keras); cloud technologies, particularly GCP; experience with ML pipeline orchestration tools; deployment experience overseeing end to end ML lifecycle. Comfortable working in a dynamic environment where generative AI is evolving as a key offering. Worked on projects involving the simultaneous generation of multiple types of data, such as images and text, pushing the boundaries of what generative models can achieve Impact-driven on the business, product, users and very importantly your colleagues as well Commercially minded and can put numbers into a business perspective and have experience of working in a fast-paced environment to drive growth Self-starter mindset  Strong interpersonal skills, comfortable working with multiple stakeholders Proactive in seeking and giving caring and constructive feedback
