If you are passionate about creating and operationalizing transformative ML and AI solutions, we'd love to hear from you!

Platform Design & Development:

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable platforms for machine learning and GenAI, supporting end-to-end processes from data ingestion to model deployment and monitoring.

Model Deployment & Automation:

• Implement CI/CD pipelines for automated deployment of ML and AI models to production environments.
• Work closely with data scientists to ensure model readiness and optimization, focusing on robust deployment and monitoring.
• Develop and manage tools for continuous monitoring and performance management of models post-deployment to identify and resolve performance drift.

Collaboration and Business Alignment:

• Partner with data scientists, software engineers, product owners, and stakeholders to align ML and AI solutions with business goals and performance metrics.
• Facilitate seamless integration of ML/AI systems with business processes, ensuring data accessibility, quality, and real-time insights.

Operationalization & Maintenance:

• Ensure systems are built for scalability, maintainability, and security, adhering to best practices in ML & AI DevOps.
• Implement monitoring solutions to proactively address any issues in data, model performance, or infrastructure.

Ethics and Compliance:

• Integrate AI ethics and compliance considerations into all ML/AI solutions, with a focus on data privacy, bias detection, and model transparency.
• Implement processes to meet regulatory requirements and promote responsible AI use.

• High school diploma or equivalent is required.
• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Machine Learning, or a related field is preferred.

Experience:

• 5+ years of experience in data engineering or DevOps roles, with a focus on ML/AI platforms and infrastructure.
• Proven experience in operationalizing and automating ML and GenAI solutions in production environments.
• Strong experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and managing infrastructure for data and machine learning systems.
  
  

Technical Skills:

• Proficiency in Python, SQL, and ML/AI DevOps tools (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow, TensorFlow Extended).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., Jenkins, GitLab CI) and containerization/orchestration tools (Docker, Kubernetes).
• Familiarity with machine learning frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch) and data pipeline tools (e.g., Apache Airflow, dbt).

Key Skills and Competencies

• Technical Acumen: Strong knowledge of ML/AI lifecycle management, MLOps practices, and data pipeline optimization.
• Collaboration & Communication: Excellent teamwork skills with an ability to work closely with cross-functional teams and communicate complex technical concepts effectively.
• Problem-Solving: Proactive approach to identifying and solving issues in model performance, data quality, and infrastructure bottlenecks.
• Ethics and Compliance: Deep understanding of responsible AI practices, including bias detection, explainability, and data privacy.
