About the role

We're looking for a Machine Learning Engineer to join our Search & Recommendations team, where we build the machine learning systems that help millions of customers discover products every day.

From personalised recommendations and product ranking to emerging AI-powered styling experiences, our work sits at the heart of the customer journey and directly influences how customers explore and shop on ASOS.

Our recommendation and ranking systems power experiences such as Similar Items, People Also Viewed, and personalised customer journeys that adapt in real time based on customer behaviour. These systems operate at significant scale, using signals from millions of interactions to surface the most relevant products and content.

As a Machine Learning Engineer, you'll work across the full machine learning lifecycle – from experimentation and model development through to deployment, monitoring and optimisation in production environments. You'll collaborate closely with Machine Learning Engineers, Applied Scientists, Software Engineers and Product partners to transform ideas into reliable, scalable systems that deliver measurable customer and commercial impact.

You'll also help shape the future of discovery at ASOS, contributing to areas such as next-generation recommendation systems, sequence-based modelling, outfit generation and AI-driven styling experiences.

The work

What you'll be doing

• Designing, building and maintaining production-grade machine learning systems that power personalisation and product discovery
• Developing and improving recommender systems, ranking models and customer-facing machine learning capabilities
• Deploying models into batch and real-time environments, ensuring reliability, scalability and performance at scale
• Collaborating with Applied Scientists and Engineers to take models from experimentation into robust production systems
• Monitoring, evaluating and iterating on models using real-world customer behaviour and performance metrics
• Contributing to engineering best practices, MLOps tooling and shared machine learning platform capabilities
• Helping to improve how machine learning is developed, deployed and operated across the organisation
