Data Engineer

We're looking for an ML Data & Platform Engineer to own the infrastructure that powers our speech AI models: the pipelines that source and prepare training data, and the platform that trains, evaluates, and serves them in production. Speech AI has a data problem most ML teams don't, and you'll be at the centre of solving it, working as part of our ML team to remove friction across the entire lifecycle and get better models into production faster. This is a broad, cross-functional role suited to someone who enjoys working across the full stack: data infrastructure, distributed systems, and production ML, and who takes ownership of problems end to end rather than waiting to be told what to fix. What you'll do Designing, building, and maintaining scalable data pipelines for ingesting, transforming, validating, and storing large datasets used to train our models Developing and maintaining web scraping and data acquisition solutions to keep training datasets fresh, high-quality, and available at scale Building and operating the infrastructure that lets the ML team deploy and evaluate new models quickly, and that serves models efficiently and reliably in production Optimising infrastructure for both iteration speed and production reliability, including GPU utilisation, job scheduling, and training efficiency Implementing observability (monitoring, logging, alerting) across data pipelines and ML systems to catch issues early and keep things running smoothly Troubleshooting complex issues across distributed systems, spanning data infrastructure, training, and inference Continuously improving our data and MLOps practices, and helping shape the roadmap for how our platform evolves as we scale What you'll need Strong proficiency in Python and SQL, with a solid backend or data engineering foundation Hands-on experience with containerisation and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and working with a major cloud provider Experience building data pipelines and ETL/ELT processe

Here's a summary of the role Data is only powerful when everyone agrees what it means. This is your chance to build a world class product behavioural data system and process from the ground up. We're rebuilding the internal product our teams use to measure product success and end-user value across all our 24+ products in four business units. You'll design the single source of truth: the metric definitions, the telemetry standards, the data contract engineering instruments against, the change governance processes and tooling, and the models that turn behaviour into portfolio insight. You'll educate and support the teams using this internal behavioural data product to set expectations and and plot a rational roadmap for the maturing of this product, helping our user to use the data honestly and wisely. Usage tells you what happened, not why, or whether it mattered. We want someone who sets quantitative behaviour against qualitative evidence and treats the disagreement as the interesting part. AWS/Snowflake is our spine; capture and BI are open decisions you'll help make. Your models feed the business reviews our executive team, CTO and investors use to run the portfolio, and engineering is committed to instrument against your contract. Here's what your first twelve months should look like First 90 days. Learn the estate, meet the engineers who instrument it, and agree the measurement model for one product end to end — with a defensible adoption number and the qualitative read on what it means. Three to six months. Data contract published, instrumentation spec landed with engineering, first business unit building against it. Definitions, naming and versioned change control governed. Six to twelve months. Rolling out across the remaining business units through the BU-aligned analysts, portfolio reporting running on your numbers. Here's a breakdown of what you'll do (not all
