Role: Senior Software Engineer (AI Squad)
Location: London
Reporting to: Head of Engineering
The role
As a Senior Software Engineer, you will be part of our newly formed cross-functional squads that consist of people from different functions across Rightmove including Machine Learning Engineers, Data Scientists, Machine Learning Ops Engineers, and a Product Owner. The squads are collaborative, ambitious, and determined teams that work with a high degree of autonomy and velocity, and value innovation and impact. They sit within the Data and Analytics Team, which is part of the Product Development organisation and plays a pivotal role in delivering exciting solutions.
Last year Rightmove launched an AI discovery project where we successfully explored, experimented and innovated with generative AI. The outputs combined with the some of our recent Hackathon ideas have contributed to our future product roadmaps and we are looking for a Senior Software Engineer who is proficient in designing and developing solutions that solve complex business and technical challenges.
The successful candidate will be a motivated expert who can help Rightmove advance our AI and machine learning solution offerings. You will be given a good degree of autonomy to identify, assess and evolve our tech stack, as Rightmove is embarking on a journey to adopt AI practices at an organisational level.
