Key Responsibilities

• Deploy, monitor, maintain, and optimize machine learning models in production environments.
• Support the full machine learning lifecycle, from model deployment through ongoing performance monitoring and maintenance.
• Monitor and troubleshoot model performance, including identifying and addressing data drift, model drift, and prediction quality issues.
• Perform root cause analysis for model failures, performance degradation, and production incidents.
• Implement corrective actions and remediation strategies to resolve production model issues.
• Develop automated monitoring, alerting, and observability frameworks for machine learning systems.
• Collaborate with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, Analytics, Operations, Marketing, and IT teams to ensure successful model deployment and adoption.
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for machine learning workflows and model releases.
• Improve model governance, reliability, scalability, and operational efficiency.
• Ensure compliance with data governance, security, and regulatory requirements, including HIPAA and Medicare/Medicaid standards where applicable.
• Document production support processes, monitoring standards, and incident response procedures.

Required Qualifications
