Contract Machine Learning Engineer (LLM and GC) 6-Month Contract Outside IR35 £600 per day We are seeking an experienced Machine Learning Engineer to support the design and build, production ready ML models on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). This is a hands-on delivery role, focused on turning models into scalable, reliable, production systems that solve real business problems. The contract will run for at least 6-months, will be Outside IR35 at £600 per day, and we are looking to start the project at the beginning of March. This role suits a delivery-focused ML Engineer who enjoys taking models from concept through to production, rather than staying purely in research or experimentation.
