Senior Machine Learning Operations Engineer

Responsibilities

• Build and operate a low-latency, highly available real-time inference service for the risk decision engine.
• Own model deployment infrastructure, including registries, versioning, model CI/CD checks, shadow mode, and staged rollouts.
• Build production and model observability for availability, latency, errors, and drift-based retraining triggers.
• Partner with Risk Data Science on development-to-production handoffs and ongoing model operation.
• Implement champion/challenger, canary routing, experimentation, and SHAP explainability outputs.
• Help shape and build a new machine learning platform team with strong product ownership.

Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in machine learning engineering, backend software engineering, MLOps, or a closely related field.
• Experience deploying, serving, and operating production ML models in low-latency and high-availability environments.
• Strong Python backend engineering fundamentals and experience with API frameworks such as FastAPI or Flask.
• Experience with model registries, model CI/CD, versioning, and staged rollout patterns including shadow, canary, and champion/challenger approaches.
• Experience building observability and alerting for production services, including latency and error monitoring and ideally model drift signals.
• Comfort with SQL, low-latency or key-value stores such as Redis and DynamoDB, and streaming pipelines such as Kafka, Kinesis, or Redpanda.
• Familiarity with Snowflake, dbt, Dagster, or Airflow is preferred.
• Experience in regulated, audit-sensitive, or compliance-adjacent environments is preferred.
