Job Description
WHY FACULTY?
We established Faculty in 2014 because we thought that AI would be the most important technology of our time. Since then, we’ve worked with over 350 global customers to transform their performance through human-centric AI. You can read about our real-world impact here https://faculty.ai/impact.
We don’t chase hype cycles. We innovate, build and deploy responsible AI which moves the needle - and we know a thing or two about doing it well. We bring an unparalleled depth of technical, product and delivery expertise to our clients who span government, finance, retail, energy, life sciences and defence.
Our business, and reputation, is growing fast and we’re always on the lookout for individuals who share our intellectual curiosity and desire to build a positive legacy through technology.
AI is an epoch-defining technology, join a company where you’ll be empowered to envision its most powerful applications, and to make them happen.
ABOUT THE TEAM
Our Public Services Business Unit is committed to leveraging AI for the benefit of individual citizens and the public good.
From our work informing strategic government decisions, to optimising our NHS, through to reducing bureaucratic backlogs - we know that AI offers opportunities to drive improvements at every level of Government and we are proud to lead on some of the most impactful work happening in the sector.
Because of the nature of the work we do with our Government clients, you may need to be eligible for UK Security Clearance (SC) and willing to work on site with these clients from time to time.
ABOUT THE ROLE
As a Lead Machine Learning Engineer at Faculty, you will set the technical direction for complex AI/ML projects, ensuring models perform at scale and in production over time by balancing technical trade-offs and guiding team priorities.
You will lead the delivery of large-scale AI-powered platforms in high-risk environments while defining project roadmaps across multiple complex workstreams.
This is an ambitious, entrepreneurial leadership role where you will act as a trusted technical expert, defending your architectural rationale to senior stakeholders to ensure we deliver high-quality, high-value outputs.
WHAT YOU'LL BE DOING:
- Designing, implementing, and maintaining reliable, scalable ML systems while justifying key architectural decisions for production environments.
- Driving the development of shared libraries and infrastructure for model deployment, lifecycle management, and CI/CD pipelines.
- Leading model integration with infrastructure by creating APIs and services that enable scalable AI functionality in applications.
- Overseeing the delivery of multiple complex workstreams and defining project problems in high-risk environments.
- Ensuring reliable model performance by defining testing frameworks and model versioning systems for senior engineers to implement.
- Managing and coaching multiple individuals, setting team-wide development goals to improve technical depth and client delivery.
- Executing proactive recommendations for adopting new technologies and AI frameworks to maintain Faculty's competitive market position.
WHO WE'RE LOOKING FOR:
- You are an expert at defining technical roadmaps and managing project priorities to deliver high-stakes outcomes within high-growth environments.
- You possess mastery of cloud-native ecosystems and orchestration tools like Kubernetes to automate complex model lifecycles and robust CI/CD pipelines.
- You have a proven ability to design large-scale, AI-powered platforms and provide the technical justification for critical architectural decisions in high-risk environments.
- You bring expert-level experience in operationalising models within frameworks like TensorFlow or PyTorch to solve complex, high-impact business challenges.
- You define the engineering standards and architecture patterns for agentic systems, ensuring teams build to a consistent, production-grade bar.
- You demonstrate an exceptional ability to align multi-disciplinary technical teams with broader business objectives and evolving customer needs.
