• Integrate model lifecycle tooling (tracking, registry, deployment automation, monitoring).
• Collaborate with Data Engineering on feature pipelines and data contracts.
• Own production health: drift detection, performance regression, rollback strategies, and incident response.

Required Qualifications

• 5+ years software engineering with 2+ years shipping ML models to production.
• Strong Python skills and experience with ML frameworks (TensorFlow/PyTorch).
• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker/Kubernetes) and API development.
• Understanding of ML system design (data leakage, training-serving skew, drift).
• CI/CD and DevOps practices applied to ML workloads (MLOps).

Preferred / Nice to Have Experience with feature stores, model registries, and model monitoring stacks. GPU optimization and distributed training experience. Experience with responsible AI toolkits and compliance requirements. Core Skills (from POD sheet) Python, TensorFlow, PyTorch, Docker, REST APIs
