Machine Learning Engineer

DevOps engineers build and look after the computer systems that companies use to make and deliver software. They automate boring tasks, make sure servers run smoothly, and help developers get new features out to people as quickly and safely as possible.

The role

What a machine learning engineer actually does, day to day.

As a DevOps engineer, you work between software developers and the IT operations teams. You build the systems that let developers write code, test it, and push it live without things breaking. You use tools and automation to make this whole process faster and more reliable - so instead of manually checking everything by hand, machines do the checking for you.

Your days mix different kinds of work: you might be writing automation code, checking that servers are running well, fixing problems when something goes wrong, or working with cloud platforms like Amazon Web Services to keep everything running smoothly. You think about security and make sure that sensitive data stays safe. It is technical and hands-on work that needs you to understand both how software is built and how to run the computers it runs on.
