Lead Machine Learning Engineer

YouLend
London

We’re looking for a Machine Learning Lead Engineer who wants to operate as a player-coach — someone still very hands-on, but excited to grow into a proper management role over time. This is not a pure manager role from day one. You’ll be building, shipping, and improving ML systems while gradually taking on more team leadership responsibilities.

Key Responsibilities

What you’ll do:

  • Build and maintain production-grade ML systems and pipelines
  • Stay hands-on (coding, reviews, debugging, deployments)
  • Mentor a small team of ML engineers (2–3 people initially)
  • Establish ML engineering & MLOps best practices
  • Improve deployment, monitoring, and model lifecycle management
  • Collaborate with DS, Risk, Product, and Engineering
  • Help shape roadmap and hiring

Skills, Knowledge & Expertise

  • Strong background as an ML Engineer (not purely DS/research)
  • Experience deploying and running ML models in production
  • Solid software engineering skills (Python, APIs, systems)
  • Good understanding of MLOps stack (CI/CD, monitoring, pipelines)
  • Familiarity with tools like MLflow, Airflow, Evidently, DVC, Docker, Kubernetes.
  • Cloud experience (AWS/GCP/Azure)
  • Some mentoring/leadership experience + desire to grow into management
  • Nice to have:
    • Experience scaling ML platforms or teams
    • Fintech / lending / risk domain exposure
