About Octopus
Kraken is at the heart of Octopus' success, allowing individual agents to be experts in any problem a customer has by handling the whole customer lifecycle, and this wide remit presents a powerful opportunity for the ML team to work to optimise the platform. We make sure that Kraken provides the right data to continually learn & improve. We use state of the art NLP to analyse customer messages, suggest actions and help to generate responses.

Our ML team consists of data scientists and front-end and back-end engineers, so that we can rapidly prototype and get innovative features in use in the platform at breakneck speed.
You'll use state of the art LLMs and prompting techniques to create features, train models in-house where appropriate, and stay up to date with changes in the field. You'll use Python and Kubernetes to deploy models via API, and you'll use MLflow to manage trained models.
