What You’ll Be Doing You will be the dedicated technical leader for the Operations AI team, focused on designing, developing, and deploying high‑performance, scalable ML/AI solutions in production environments. A true team player attitude who thrives on cross‑functional collaboration.

The Senior AI/ML Engineer role is critical for developing and deploying the next generation of AI‑driven solutions that automate support and drastically improve the experience for both our merchants and support agents.

You will be a key expert who builds and maintains the ML infrastructure and tooling that powers our core products using advanced AI/ML models. This role is a replacement, essential for maintaining momentum as we expand complex use cases like our AI Assistant and translation tools.

Architect, design, develop, and deploy our AI solutions and systems into production environments, ensuring reliability, high performance, and scalability.

Take ownership and technical leadership in the development and maintenance of main AI products, including the AI Assistant (automating ~40% of merchant requests), AI Translation (enabling cross‑language agent service), and the AI Agent Copilot.

Develop and maintain ML infrastructure and pipelines to support efficient data processing, model training, serving, and continuous monitoring. Optimise and fine‑tune machine learning models, and collect, preprocess, and clean large text datasets to ensure high‑quality input for model training and evaluation.

Embrace software development principles, best practices, and industry standards, including version control (Git), CI/CD processes (GitHub actions), and unit testing frameworks.

Collaborate closely with Data Scientists, Product Managers, Developers, and other business stakeholders to enhance customer experience and improve operational efficiency globally. Complex Onboarding: Rapidly master a large, existing AI assistant infrastructure, starting immediately with working on behaviour improvements and agentic rollouts.

Pilot and Innovation: Lead the creation of the pilot for the Voice Assistant and design how to leverage current AI assistant components to empower new channels.

You’ll Be Great for This Position If You Have 7+ years of proven experience as a Machine Learning Engineer or AI Engineer, focusing on building and deploying scalable machine learning or AI solutions and data‑driven systems.

Expert‑level Python proficiency and excellent software development engineering skills for designing computationally effective solutions in large‑scale production. Strong previous experience as an ML or AI engineer, with models in production, and a strong understanding of artificial intelligence, machine learning, and deep learning concepts.

Experience using GenAI / LLM API and experience evaluating LLM models in production. Experience building and deploying ML Models using Cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, or Azure). Familiarity with MLOps tools (e.g., MLFlow, Kubeflow, Airflow, Langfuse), and hands‑on experience with Kubernetes, Git, and Airflow.

Good understanding of data pipelines, API design, containers (Docker), and version control (Git). Experience building, maintaining, and scaling APIs, and deployment using CI/CD Pipelines in GitHub actions. Self‑drive, proactiveness, and high adaptability in a fast‑paced environment, with a commitment to data governance, quality, and ownership.
