Duration: 6 months

As an MLOps Engineer, you will support machine learning products from inception, working across the full data ecosystem. This includes developing application-specific data pipelines, building CI/CD pipelines that automate ML model training and deployment, publishing model results for downstream consumption, and building APIs to serve model outputs on-demand.

The role requires close collaboration with data scientists and other stakeholders to ensure ML models are production-ready, performant, secure, and compliant.

• Design, implement, and maintain scalable ML model deployment pipelines (CI/CD for ML)
• Build infrastructure to monitor model performance, data drift, and other key metrics in production
• Develop and maintain tools for model versioning, reproducibility, and experiment tracking
• Optimize model serving infrastructure for latency, scalability, and cost
• Automate the end-to-end ML workflow, from data ingestion to model training, testing, deployment, and monitoring
• Collaborate with data scientists to ensure models are production-ready
• Implement security, compliance, and governance practices for ML systems
• Support troubleshooting and incident response for deployed ML systems

• Strong programming skills in Python; experience with ML libraries such as Snowpark, PySpark, or Py Torch
• Experience with containerization tools like Docker and orchestration tools like Airflow or Astronomer
• Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and ML services (e.g., Sage Maker, Vertex AI)
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines and automation tools such as Git Hub Actions
• Understanding of monitoring and logging tools (e.g., New Relic, Grafana)

• Prior experience deploying ML models in production environments
• Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code tools like Terraform or Cloud Formation
• Familiarity with model interpretability and responsible AI practices
• Experience with feature stores and model registries
