Requirements

👀 Sounds interesting! What will you be doing?

As a Machine Learning Engineer at Moneyhub, you'll bridge the gap between data science and software engineering. You'll be responsible for developing production-ready data solutions that solve real user problems—focusing on delivering working code rather than just analysis or prototypes.

What You'll Work On

• Data Enrichment Systems: Build and maintain systems that enhance raw financial data, including our transaction categorisation engine that underpins budgeting capabilities and affordability checking services
• Production-Ready Solutions: Transform data science concepts into robust, high-performance code that can handle our production workloads
• Pragmatic Algorithm Development: Create and optimize algorithms using the most appropriate techniques to solve specific user problems
• Data-Driven Product Innovation: Collaborate with product teams to translate business requirements into technical solutions that enrich financial data
• User Insights: Analyze user characteristics and segmentation to support business decisions and product development

Requirements:

• 3+ years of experience in data science or related engineering roles
• Strong software engineering practices with proficiency in Python
• Working knowledge of Node.js for backend integration
• Experience working within a Start Up / Scale Up technology company
• Experience building and deploying data solutions to production environments
• Practical knowledge of data processing techniques and relevant frameworks
• Understanding of when to apply ML algorithms vs. simpler approaches to solve problems
• Experience with statistical analysis and ability to interpret results to drive decision-making
• Proven ability to clean and prepare data for analysis and enrichment
• Excellent communication skills with ability to present technical concepts to non-technical stakeholders
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in a numerical or engineering subject (Data Science, Computer Science, Mathematics, or related field)

Beneficial if you :

• Experience with containerization using Docker
• Has worked on high-performance data processing systems
• Can perform data science analysis independently but focuses on production implementation
• Understands the difference between exploratory work in notebooks and production-ready code
• Experience optimizing algorithms for performance and scale
• Demonstrates a pragmatic approach to problem-solving, always seeking the simplest solution that delivers the best results
• Can evaluate when machine learning is appropriate and when simpler approaches would be more effective

At Moneyhub, we value engineers who can both understand data science concepts and implement them as high-quality, production-ready code. The ideal candidate bridges analytical thinking with practical engineering, delivering solutions that work reliably at scale rather than just proof-of-concepts.
