SENIOR ML ENGINEER
SRG Recruitment (Pty) Ltd.
We’re looking for a Senior ML Engineer to join the Advanced Data Products team and help build the machine learning systems that power data-driven products. If you’re obsessed with building robust, scalable ML pipelines — and take pride in models that don’t just work in a notebook but thrive in production — this role was made for you.
KEY RESPONSIBILITIES
- Design, build, and optimise machine learning models and pipelines that deliver real business impact
- Own the full ML lifecycle — from data ingestion and feature engineering through to training, evaluation, deployment, and monitoring
- Build and maintain MLOps infrastructure to support reliable, repeatable model delivery
- Collaborate with AI Engineers and data teams to turn business use cases into production-grade ML solutions
- Build and maintain observability tooling to monitor model performance, drift, and data quality in production
- Mentor junior engineers in the team — sharing knowledge, reviewing work, and helping them grow
- Continuously improve model quality, efficiency, and scalability across the product suite
QUALIFICATIONS
- B.Sc. degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, Data Science, or related field
- Deep machine learning expertise — strong grasp of algorithms, model selection, and evaluation
- Solid software engineering skills — you write clean, production-ready code
- Hands-on MLOps experience — pipelines, experiment tracking, model versioning, and deployment
- Hands-on cloud experience, AWS preferred
- Track record of building, deploying, and operating ML systems at scale
- Experience with observability — monitoring, alerting, and keeping models healthy in production
- Strong foundations in statistics, mathematics, and data modelling
- Sharp problem-solving instincts by breaking complex technical challenges into structured, deliverable pieces
- Clear communicator who can work effectively across engineering and data teams
- Experience mentoring, supporting, and growing junior engineers
