Location: London (Hybrid)
Reporting to: Head of AI
The role
We’re looking for a talented Machine Learning Engineer to join Rightmove’s growing Data, Analytics & AI team and help scale our ability to deliver innovative AI-powered solutions. You’ll design, deploy, and optimise AI and machine learning systems that are reliable, maintainable, and measurable.
You’ll design, deploy, and iterate on AI-powered features that are reliable, maintainable, and—most importantly—impactful. You will bridge the gap between Data Science experiments and production-grade products, ensuring that our AI solutions solve real-world problems for home hunters and partners.
A typical week as a Machine Learning Engineer might involve
- Working with data scientists to take models from initial development to production-grade features with scalability and user-experience in mind.
- Building "scrappy" internal tools or prototypes to validate AI concepts before scaling them into full production pipelines
- Designing and maintaining the ML pipelines (training, deployment, monitoring) that keep our product-facing models running smoothly.
- Translating model performance into business metrics (e.g., accuracy vs cost/latency trade-offs)
- Collaborating with product, design, and engineering teams to deliver AI and ML features that directly impact customer experience
- Automating feature engineering and data pipeline processes, ensuring reproducibility and auditability
- Implementing monitoring and observability to detect drift, bias, and performance degradation, and setting up rollback/recovery processes
- Using MLOps tools (e.g., Vertex Pipelines/Kubeflow, W&B) for experiment tracking, model registry, and automated deployment
- Leveraging Docker/Kubernetes and workflow orchestration tools (Airflow, Prefect, Dagster)
We’re looking for someone who
- Has experience shipping and maintaining AI or ML systems in production, ideally including large scale batch inference pipelines and online inference microservices, with retraining and monitoring
- Understands the full ML lifecycle and can design for long-term resilience without losing sight of the immediate product goal.
- Has strong programming skills (Python, SQL) and experience with ML frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, Scikit-learn)
- Experienced with cloud platforms (ideally GCP: BigQuery, Vertex AI, Dataflow)
- Is comfortable with CI/CD, Git, and containerisation/orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
- Has strong communication skills to explain trade-offs and influence both technical and non-technical colleagues
- Is proactive, detail-oriented, and motivated to learn emerging ML engineering tools
We would love someone to have any of the following
- Bachelor’s, Master’s, or PhD in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related STEM subject
- 3+ years of experience as an ML Engineer, Data Engineer, or similar
- Hands-on with model monitoring, observability, and retraining pipelines
- Exposure to feature stores, registries, and experimentation frameworks
- Familiarity with business-driven metrics and experience balancing ML performance with commercial goals
- Experience with LLM and Agentic AI frameworks (e.g. ADK, LangChain, AutoGen)
