Your contributions will support reliable, secure, and scalable ML deployments across diverse cloud environments.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, build, and scale MLOps pipelines to support training, evaluation, versioning, and deployment of ML models.

• Manage containerized environments using Kubernetes and Docker.

• Orchestrate workflows with Airflow, MLflow, Kubeflow, or similar tools.

• Deploy and monitor ML models using cloud-native AI platforms (e.g., AWS SageMaker, Azure ML, Google Vertex AI).

• Automate CI/CD pipelines with a focus on security, reproducibility, and reliability.

• Collaborate with data scientists, ML engineers, and infrastructure teams for seamless model handovers.

• Implement observability to detect model drift, monitor latency, and track performance metrics.

• Support governance, feature store integration, and reproducibility standards across the organization.
