Think space shuttles, world tours, wind farms, and even footballers’ legs.\nKi’s mission is simple. Digitally disrupt and revolutionise a 335-year-old market. Working with Google and UCL, Ki has created a platform that uses algorithms, machine learning and large language models to give insurance brokers quotes in seconds, rather than days.\nKi is proudly the biggest global algorithmic insurance carrier. It is the fastest growing syndicate in the Lloyd's of London market, and the first ever to make $100m in profit in 3 years.\nKi’s teams have varied backgrounds and work together in an agile, cross-functional way to build the very best experience for its customers. Ki has big ambitions but needs more excellent minds to challenge the status-quo and help it reach new horizons.\nWhere you come in?\nWe're looking for a Senior MLOps Engineer to join our Algorithmic Underwriting team. In this role, you’ll develop and extend our MLOps system, empowering our underwriting algorithm to improve effectively and efficiently.\nWe'll work together across the business to tackle exciting technical challenges that go far beyond traditional MLOps systems. For instance, you’ll expand our MLOps system to manage the lifecycle of actuarial models and rules-based models alongside standard machine learning models. You’ll also have the opportunity to propose, design, and execute initiatives independently, guiding a talented team to bring these ideas to life.\nWe’re a commercially focused, multi-disciplinary team that brings together deep expertise in specialty insurance and scalable algorithm product development. Our squads focus on delivering high-impact features using a highly iterative, analytical approach. And we invest time in research and development, both internally and with leading academic institutions, to continually push boundaries.\nWhat you will be doing:\nWork with colleagues to design, deliver and evolve Ki’s end-to-end MLOps system.\nWork with colleagues to create and iterate governance processes around model lifecycle management.\nEnable colleagues across Ki to deliver models more quickly and safely into production.\nManage overall cost and return on investment relating to the MLOps system, including build versus buy decisions and vendor selections.\nIdentify opportunities to improve and extend Ki’s MLOps system.\nAdvocate and uphold model management best practices.\nAct as a knowledge hub on Ki’s MLOps system, educating the rest of the Ki team on its capabilities and driving adoption across the business.\nLiaise with stakeholders to structure and evolve the roadmap for Ki’s MLOps system.\nCoaching and developing early-career members of the team.\nDrive improvements in the way we operate as a digital underwriting capability.\nRequirements\nExperience with MLOps system development, including experience of applying MLOps concepts such as feature store, model registry, model monitoring.\nExperience with infrastructure as code such as terraform.\nUnderstanding of the control and management of data products and machine learning algorithms.\nUnderstanding of the importance of market compliance and core regulatory requirements.\nA Bachelor’s degree in a STEM field, or equivalent commercial experience.\nExperience with inference graphs or model workflows is a plus.\nExperience leveraging MLOps systems to productionise non-machine learning models, for example, rules-based models, is a plus.\nBenefits\nYou’ll get a highly competitive remuneration and benefits package. This is kept under constant review to make sure it stays relevant. We understand the power of saying thank you and take time to acknowledge and reward extraordinary effort by teams or individuals.\nWhat to expect during the recruitment process:\nInitial recruiter screening call\nInterview with hiring manager\nTechnical Interview (this may vary depending on the role)\nValues Interview","description_format":"text","description_chars":3945,"description_truncated":false,"requirements":{"experience_years_min":null,"management_years_min":null,"team_size_min":null,"manages_managers":false,"education":null,"security_clearance":false,"languages":[]},"benefits":[],"hiring_locations":[],"hiring_excludes":[],"relocation_offered":false,"industries":["Property & Casualty Insurance"],"lifecycle":[{"event":"open","at":"2026-09-15T11:59:08Z"}],"visa":[],"liveness":{"score":59,"band":"ok","label":"Likely open","p_open":1,"p_active":0.785,"p_room":0.75,"age_days":52,"expected_fill_days":58,"reasons":["conf:1","win:late"],"computed_at":"2026-11-07T05:47:08Z"},"pay":null,"html_url":"https://alion.io/job/ki-senior-mlops-engineer","json_url":"https://alion.io/job/ki-senior-mlops-engineer.json","meta":{"generated_at":"2026-11-07T09:43:46Z","cache_seconds":300,"methodology":"https://alion.io/methodology","terms":"https://alion.io/terms","contact":"https://alion.io/contact","api":"https://alion.io/developers","about":"Alion is a live layer of people, companies and AI agents: who they are, whether they are real and active right now, what they do and how to work with them, readable by people and by agents and paid per call.","catalog":"https://alion.io/catalog.json","usage":{"tier":"crawler_verified","counted_by":"address","units_charged":1,"used_today":7953,"day_limit":null,"remaining_today":null,"minute_limit":300,"resets_at":"2026-11-08T00:00:00Z"}},"offers":[{"id":"company.slices","title":"One company in depth, by slice","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002,"plus_per_slice":{"credits":0.05,"usd":0.005}},"unit":"per company, plus each slice with data","note":"the employer in depth","call":{"mcp_tool":"get_company","arguments":{"id":51448},"rest":"https://alion.io/mcp/rest/get_company?id=51448"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.slices&for=job%2Fki-senior-mlops-engineer"},{"id":"market.stats","title":"A market slice: pay, demand and time to fill","status":"live","price":{"credits":1,"usd":0.1},"unit":"per slice","note":"pay, demand and time to fill for this role and place","call":{"mcp_tool":"market_stats"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=market.stats&for=job%2Fki-senior-mlops-engineer"},{"id":"job.search","title":"Open jobs by role, technology, place, pay and visa","status":"live","price":{"credits":0.02,"usd":0.002},"unit":"per posting in a list","note":"similar open postings","call":{"mcp_tool":"search_jobs"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=job.search&for=job%2Fki-senior-mlops-engineer"},{"id":"company.verify","title":"Is this company real and active right now","status":"pilot","price":null,"unit":"per company","request":{"url":"https://alion.io/catalog/request","method":"POST","body":"{\"offer\": \"company.verify\", \"for\": \"job/ki-senior-mlops-engineer\", \"note\": \"what you need it for\"}"},"human":"https://alion.io/catalog?offer=company.verify&for=job%2Fki-senior-mlops-engineer"}],"agent":{"mcp":"https://alion.io/mcp/jobs","mcp_open":"https://alion.io/mcp/open","next":[{"tool":"get_job","arguments":{"id":931387}},{"tool":"search_jobs","arguments":{"company":"ki-insurance.com","detail":"compact"}},{"tool":"match_people","arguments":{"job_id":931387},"note":"people open to offers who fit this vacancy"}],"note":"The same data through MCP tools: https://alion.io/mcp/open needs no sign-in (compact searches, postings, people); https://alion.io/mcp with an Alion account has everything.
