**RECRUITING**

Contract OR PERM

Open to relocators

Job Title – Machine Learning Engineer

Salary – N/A

Job Type - Contract Or Perm

Location – Abu Dhabi

Start Date – ASAP

We are working on a brand-new project, which is an Innovation Hub/Ai Lab backed by a large bank in the region.

The candidate my client want is essentially a production-focused Machine Learning Engineer with 3–7 years experience, rather than a pure Data Scientist. The major requirements I would source against are:

• 3–7 years experience building production-grade, scalable AI/ML systems.
• Very strong Python + ML engineering capability.
• Experience with supervised/unsupervised ML, deep learning, NLP, Computer Vision and/or GenAI/LLMs — you don't necessarily need every area but should have genuine depth.
• Building end-to-end ML pipelines: ingestion → transformation → training → validation → deployment.
• Production model serving and APIs using FastAPI / Flask.
• Strong ML system architecture understanding.
• Experience with real-time and/or batch inference and model performance optimisation.
• Knowledge of Docker, Kubernetes and CI/CD.
• Exposure to MLflow and/or Kubeflow for lifecycle management.
• Deployment onto AWS or Azure.
• Experience training/deploying traditional ML, neural networks and Agentic AI models.
• Ideally experience fine-tuning SLMs/LLMs and building more complex AI architectures.

Thanks,

Ollie
