What the job involves
- We are seeking a skilled and experienced Senior Machine Learning Engineer to join our team. Reporting to the Engineering Director, the successful candidate will take on a pivotal role in designing, developing, and implementing innovative solutions to our customers' problems, while adhering to the standards and principles of our R&D department.
- The Senior ML Engineer will work closely with data engineers, product managers, application developers, UI/UX designers, and other stakeholders to create scalable, high-performance, reliable, and secure SaaS applications.

- Define AI evaluation frameworks and metrics to ensure continuous improvement of models and systems
- Collaborate with cross-functional teams to unlock insights, innovation, and intelligence in our applications

Our take
The internet is increasingly becoming a walled garden, with content and vital market intelligence hidden away on social media sites, gaming environments and apps. And with increasing regulaion in the data protection space such as GDPR, it can be harder for marketing teams to gain insight into what potential customers exist, and what they want.
Conductor exists to change that. Taking advantage of the power of search ("No one ever lies to a search engine", in the words of the company's CEO and co-founder), it utilises data from search traffic to help marketing teams build more effective campaigns. Able to help optimize search results, track keyword rankings and measure performance, it has led to doubling the rate of conversions and site traffic among its customer base, which includes the likes of Citibank, athenahealth and Canon.
With a record of substantial funding and growing revenue from its customer base, Conductor is continuing to invest in its technology, making strategic acquisitions to help it expand. For instance its acquisition of ContentKing allowed it to add real-time website auditing and monitoring to its platform, and its 2023 acquisition of Searchmetrics is aimed at accelerating its growth in Europe. As the SEO space enters a period of consolodation it seems that Conductor is well positioned to remain at the top of the search results.
