Machine Learning Engineer

We’re looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to become an integral part of our Transversal Data team, where you’ll play a pivotal role in transforming and modernising our machine learning platform. You’ll collaborate across the organisation to define and implement MLOps best practices, while taking charge of designing, implementing, and maintaining the infrastructure, essential for the development and deployment of machine learning models. Working closely with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Solution Engineers, and other stakeholders, you’ll ensure the seamless integration of machine learning models into our production systems, driving innovation and excellence within AXA UK.

At AXA we work smart, empowering our people to balance their time between home and the office in a way that works best for them, their team and our customers. You'll work at least two days a week (40%) away from home, moving to three days a week (60%) in the future. Away from home means either attendance at one of our office locations, visiting clients or attending industry events. We’re also happy to consider flexible working arrangements, which you can discuss with Talent Acquisition.

What you’ll be doing:

• Contribute to the design and the development of robust MLOps, and Agentic Ops frameworks that will enhance our capabilities and drive value across AXA.
• Take offline models data scientists build and turn them into a real machine learning production system.
• Define and implement best practices in machine learning, MLOps, and Agentic Ops, while mentoring colleagues throughout the organisation.
• Actively participate in knowledge sharing through internal and external communities and working groups.
• Contribute to the delivery of code and provide expertise in several key technology areas.
• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in MLOps, Agentic systems, Azure and Databricks technologies, and proactively identify opportunities to enhance our ML capabilities.
