Senior MLOps Engineer

Diverse Lynx

Title: AI/ML Engineer

Duration: Long Term Contract
Location: Cupertino, CA/ Austin, TX (Onsite)
Rate Range: $75/hr. - $65/hr.

Interview mode: Telephonic/Video Conference
Joining: ASAP
This is the description.

Build intelligent, data-driven platform. The focus is to support the development of next-generation test analytics and test agents that enable faster insights, improved diagnostics, and scalable infrastructure for Generative AI systems connecting test stations, line level data and pipelines . You will build automated evaluation tools, and conduct rigorous statistical analyses to ensure the reliability of both human and AI-based assessment systems.

Benchmark, adapt, and integrate AI/ML models into existing software systems. Independently run and analyze ML experiments for real improvements.

Must-Have Requirements

Requirement Details
• Backend/Systems Experience 3+ years building production backend or distributed systems (pre-AI experience required)
• Production AI Systems Has shipped AI/LLM features serving real users at scale - not just prototypes or demos
• gentic Systems Has built AI agents, skills, tools, or MCP (Model Context Protocol) integrations
• Python Proficient for backend development
• Secondary Language Working knowledge of Go, TypeScript, or Rust
• Cloud Infrastructure Deep experience with AWS/GCP/Azure - cost optimization, compute decisions, not just deployment
• Container & Orchestration Hands-on with Docker and Kubernetes - can build, deploy, debug, and scale services themselves
• LLM Integration Understands token economics, context limits, rate limiting, structured outputs, API failure modes
• LLM Evaluation Understands how to evaluate LLM outputs and the inherent challenges (non-determinism, quality measurement, regression detection)
• Hands-On Engineer Not just an architect - writes code, debugs production issues, deploys their own work

Preferred / Differentiators
• Built multi-step agentic workflows with tool use and function calling
• Experience with agent orchestration frameworks (LangGraph, CrewAI, or custom)
• Built guardrails, fallbacks, or graceful degradation for AI systems
• Streaming inference and async agent orchestration
• Cost/latency optimization: caching, batching, prompt compression
• ML observability tools: Langfuse, Arize, Braintrust, W&B
• Retrieval systems (vector search, hybrid search) - as a tool, not the focus

Screening Questions for Candidates

1. "Describe a production AI agent or skill system you built. What broke and how did you fix it?"

2. "Have you built MCP servers/integrations or custom tool-use systems for LLMs?"

3. "How do you evaluate whether an LLM-based feature is working well? What makes this hard?"

4. "Walk me through how you'd deploy and scale an AI service on Kubernetes."

Not a Fit If
• Primarily a model trainer/fine-tuner (we're not training models)
• AI experience is mainly academic, research, or tutorial-based
• No production systems experience (only notebooks/demos)
• Looking for entry-level role with heavy mentorship
• Background is primarily data science/analytics rather than engineering
• "Architects" who don't write or deploy code themselves
