MLOps / ML Platform Engineer

Role Overview

Do you enjoy turning experimental machine learning work into dependable, production-ready systems? Are you comfortable owning infrastructure, automation, and operational excellence for AI workloads? We are seeking an MLOps Engineer who will enable smooth transitions from research prototypes to scalable, enterprise-level ML solutions.

This role focuses on building and operating resilient ML platforms across a hybrid environment, ensuring models are deployed, monitored, and governed with consistency and security.

Main Responsibilities

• ML Platform Automation
  Create and operate automated workflows that support model building, validation, deployment, and retraining using modern CI/CD and continuous training practices.

• Infrastructure Automation
  Define and manage cloud and on-premise resources using Infrastructure as Code approaches, primarily leveraging Terraform and shell-based automation across Azure, GCP, and local environments.

• Container-Based Workflows
  Enable standardized model packaging and scalable runtime environments through Docker images and Kubernetes-based orchestration.

• Collaboration with ML Teams
  Work closely with data scientists and ML engineers to convert experimental notebooks and models into stable, deployable services.

• Security, Compliance & Governance
  Establish and enforce security controls, access policies, and governance standards that protect data and models throughout their lifecycle.

• Data Platform Operations
  Support and maintain multiple data storage technologies—including relational databases, vector search engines, and graph-based systems—aligned with different ML use cases.

• Monitoring & Reliability
  Build observability solutions that provide visibility into model behavior, data quality, system health, and infrastructure performance.

• ML Tooling Ecosystem
  Integrate and maintain ML development platforms and libraries (such as Hugging Face) to streamline experimentation and deployment.

Key Requirements

• Professional Background
  Hands-on experience in MLOps, DevOps, platform engineering, or similar roles focused on automation and infrastructure.
• Automation & Scripting
  Strong scripting skills in Python and shell languages (Bash, PowerShell) for building reliable automation.
• Containers & Orchestration
  Practical experience designing and operating Docker-based workloads and Kubernetes clusters.
• Cloud & IaC Expertise
  Experience working with cloud platforms—preferably GCP, with Azure as a plus—and significant hands-on use of Terraform.
• Security & Networking Knowledge
  Solid understanding of secure system design, encryption practices, identity and access management, and core networking concepts.
• Data Systems Exposure
  Familiarity with SQL databases as well as modern vector and graph data stores.
• Machine Learning Foundations
  Conceptual understanding of contemporary ML approaches, including LLMs, embeddings, and retrieval-augmented generation techniques.

Nice to Have

• Advanced Python & ML Libraries
  Strong Python skills with exposure to ML frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Transformers.
• GCP ML Ecosystem
  Experience using Google Cloud ML services like Vertex AI or BigQuery ML.
• On-Premise & GPU Workloads
  Background in managing on-premise systems, particularly those supporting GPU-heavy ML workloads.
• Hybrid Cloud Operations
  Demonstrated experience designing or operating hybrid-cloud infrastructures.
• Azure IaC Tools
  Familiarity with Bicep for Azure resource management.
