Job Summary

We are seeking a skilled and detail-oriented MLOps Engineer with 3-4 years of experience to drive the deployment, monitoring, and operational excellence of AI agents and machine learning models within enterprise environments. The ideal candidate will be responsible for building robust CI/CD pipelines for AI systems, optimizing GPU workloads, managing hybrid infrastructure (on-premises and cloud), and ensuring performance, security, and compliance — particularly within a regulated pharma environment.

This role requires strong experience in product ionizing ML/GenAI solutions and ensuring scalability, reliability, and compliance of AI systems handling sensitive data.

Key Responsibilities

1. Model & AI Agent Deployment

- Own end-to-end deployment of ML models and AI agents into production environments.
- Manage model versioning, rollback strategies, and lifecycle management.
- Ensure high availability, scalability, and reliability of deployed systems.

2. CI/CD for AI Systems

- Design and implement CI/CD pipelines tailored for ML and GenAI workflows.
- Automate model training, testing, validation, and deployment processes.
- Integrate model testing frameworks, performance checks, and compliance gates into pipelines.
- Enable seamless integration between development, staging, and production environments.

3. Infrastructure & GPU Optimization

- Manage and optimize GPU-based workloads for model training and inference.
- Monitor and improve compute utilization, cost efficiency, and latency.
- Administer and maintain cloud (AWS/Azure/GCP) and/or on-prem infrastructure environments.
- Support containerized deployments using Docker and Kubernetes.

4. Performance Monitoring & Observability

- Implement infrastructure and model performance monitoring systems.
- Track system health, latency, throughput, resource utilization, and failure rates.
- Establish alerting, logging, and incident response processes.
- Continuously improve system performance and reliability through proactive monitoring.

5. Vector Database & Data Infrastructure Management

- Deploy and manage vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Pinecone, Weaviate, Chroma).
- Optimize indexing, embedding pipelines, and retrieval performance for GenAI applications.
- Ensure high availability and backup strategies for AI data systems.

6. Security, Access Control & Compliance

- Implement role-based access control (RBAC) and secure authentication mechanisms.
- Ensure infrastructure and AI systems comply with pharma regulatory standards and internal governance policies.
- Manage sensitive data securely, including encryption (at rest and in transit).
- Support audit readiness and documentation for compliance reviews.

Technical Skills & Competencies

- Strong programming skills in Python and scripting languages
- Hands-on experience with CI/CD tools (Jenkins, Git Hub Actions, Git Lab CI, Azure Dev Ops, etc.)

- Experience with Docker, Kubernetes, Helm
- Knowledge of ML lifecycle tools (MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, etc.)

- Experience with GPU optimization and distributed training frameworks
- Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS/Azure/GCP) and hybrid infrastructure
- Experience managing vector databases
- Knowledge of monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, Datadog, etc.)
- Understanding of data security, encryption, compliance frameworks (GxP, HIPAA preferred)

Qualifications

- BE in Data Science / Artificial Intelligence / Computer Science or MCA
- Certification in CI/CD, Machine Learning, or related Dev Ops technologies
- 3–4 years of experience in MLOps / Dev Ops for ML systems
- Experience in the pharmaceutical or regulated industry (preferred)

Preferred Attributes

- Strong problem-solving and troubleshooting skills
- Ability to work independently and manage production-critical systems
- Detail-oriented with strong documentation practices
- Experience supporting enterprise GenAI applications
- Good communication and cross-functional collaboration skills
