• Build automated CI/CD/CT pipelines for machine learning applications.
• Deploy and manage ML models as scalable batch, real-time, or streaming services.
• Containerize ML applications using Docker and orchestrate workloads using Kubernetes.
• Build and maintain cloud-based ML infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP.
• Implement experiment tracking, model versioning, model registries, and artifact management.
• Establish monitoring for model performance, data drift, concept drift, latency, infrastructure health, and failures.
• Automate infrastructure provisioning using Infrastructure as Code tools such as Terraform.
• Work closely with Data Scientists to productionize models and improve reproducibility of ML experiments.
• Collaborate with DevOps, Data Engineering, Security, and application teams to integrate ML solutions into enterprise platforms.
• Implement security, access control, auditability, and governance practices across the ML lifecycle.
• Troubleshoot production ML pipelines and continuously improve platform reliability, scalability, and cost efficiency.
• Develop reusable MLOps frameworks, templates, and engineering standards.

Skill Requirements

• Strong programming skills in Python and scripting experience with Bash/Shell.

• Good understanding of the machine learning lifecycle, including training, validation, deployment, inference, monitoring, and retraining.
• Experience with Git and software engineering best practices.
• Knowledge of Infrastructure as Code using Terraform, CloudFormation, or equivalent technologies.
• Experience with monitoring and observability platforms such as Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, or cloud-native monitoring services.
• Understanding of REST APIs, microservices, and distributed systems.
• Familiarity with data pipelines, databases, object storage, and feature engineering workflows.

Other Requirements

• Experience with orchestration platforms such as Apache Airflow, Kubeflow Pipelines, or Argo Workflows.
• Knowledge of feature stores such as Feast or cloud-native feature-store solutions.
• Experience implementing automated model/data drift detection and retraining workflows.
• Exposure to Generative AI/LLMOps, including LLM deployment, evaluation, prompt/version management, vector databases, and RAG pipelines.
