Tilt

Our mission is to make fashion accessible to all and inspire everyone to dress a little better. We believe e-commerce is in a rut, with brands lost in a decades-long void, lacking innovation, and mindlessly redesigning websites without fixing the real issue — making shopping fun and affordable.

Today, we are the UK's biggest live shopping platform focused on making shopping a joyful, social experience that brings people together and helps everyone level up their style. We're growing fast and hiring innovative problem solvers to build the future of shopping.

Your Mission

We’re hiring a Machine Learning Lead to own and drive AI/ML initiatives at Tilt. This is a hands-on role where you'll lead by example, directly contributing to building and scaling AI at Tilt while providing guidance and technical mentorship to the team. This is not a management or research position.

What You'll Do

  • Design, develop and deploy the first-of-their-kind AI-driven features for e-commerce—from scratch
  • Work closely with product, engineering, and design teams to identify and execute high-impact features
  • Build robust, scalable infrastructure for AI at Tilt
  • Provide valuable technical guidance for ML Engineers and product engineers on building world-class AI systems
  • Dig deep into existing products, develop plans for improvement and collaborate with the team to execute

Requirements

You must be an ambitious, curious, relentless and no ego problem-solver excited to build the future of shopping. Additionally:

  • Experience taking ML systems from 0 to 1 to large-scale, serving millions of users (LLMs, rec sys, computer vision or NLP)
  • 5+ years of hands-on experience in ML/AI engineering, with proven expertise in building and deploying solutions at scale
  • Bachelor's degree in a STEM major (mathematics, computer science, engineering)
  • Expertise in Python, PyTorch/TensorFlow and ML frameworks
  • Comfortable working with our stack (or similar): AWS, OpenSearch, PostgreSQL, Snowflake
  • Ability to work autonomously to deliver results at a rapid pace

Bonus

  • Experience with high-traffic, real-time platforms
  • 3+ years of experience in high-growth, fast-paced environments

Perks & Benefits

  • Competitive Salary
  • Stock Options
  • MacBook Pro + Tech Budget
