• Lead the end-to-end operationalization of machine learning models, moving solutions from experimentation into dependable production environments.
• Develop and support ML infrastructure, automated pipelines, and deployment frameworks that improve reliability and reduce manual effort.
• Create and manage containerized workloads using Docker and coordinate production services through Kubernetes.
• Establish and maintain CI/CD processes for model training, packaging, testing, and release management.
• Implement tools and standards for experiment tracking, feature lineage, and model version control to enable reproducibility.
• Build monitoring solutions that surface system health, model behavior, and data drift, helping teams respond quickly to production issues.
• Provision and optimize cloud and compute resources to support both training and inference workloads effectively.
• Improve scalability, operational visibility, and cost efficiency across deployed AI services.
• Partner with data scientists and ML engineers to simplify deployment pathways and align platform capabilities with model development needs.• 3 to 5 years of experience in MLOps, machine learning platform engineering, or AI infrastructure roles.
• Demonstrated success deploying, maintaining, and improving machine learning models in production settings.
• Hands-on experience with Azure and managing compute resources for model training and inference.
• Strong background in containerization and orchestration technologies, including Docker and Kubernetes.
• Practical experience building CI/CD pipelines for machine learning or broader software delivery workflows.
