Job summary:

BlueOptima has a truly unique collection of vast datasets relating to the changes that software developers make in source code when working in an enterprise software development environment. We are looking for an analytically minded individual with expertise in python and Data Engineering, who will work to streamline the Data Engineering team, support in the development of solutions, and manage the internal development applications such as MLFlow. You will have experiences with the various stages involved in developing Machine Learning models and deploying them yourself. Have experience, monitoring models in production including handling data drift for example.

Support the team to deliver more, by bringing in technological or process improvements that maximise the amount of effort the team can spend on the most challenging aspects of Data Engineering. This should not include manually doing part of the work for any one project but finding and improving the common processes.

Set the standards required for a solution to be released to production and how solutions will be monitored, including for data drift, continuation of service, etc. Ensure that these minimum standards are followed and find better approaches to ensure that all solutions can adopt new improvements quickly. Identify where the minimum standards should be extended for a particular class of solutions or as part of continuous improvement.
