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
