Machine Learning Lead - London, UK or Toronto/Waterloo, Canada

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 📋
