TL;DR · AI Platform Engineer

The AI Platform Engineer joins the Abbott Cancer Diagnostics team to build and operate the machine learning and generative AI platform. This role involves owning the full model lifecycle in production, including data and feature pipelines, training, evaluation, serving, and monitoring. You will build production model-serving infrastructure for LLMs and predictive models, manage GPU infrastructure for scheduling and resource isolation, and automate end-to-end lifecycles through CI/CD and GitOps. Key technologies include Python, Kubernetes, and AWS, with preferred experience in tools like Kubeflow, MLflow, and TensorRT. You will solve technical challenges regarding inference optimization, drift detection, and lineage tracking within a regulated environment. The work ensures that software reaching patients is supported by a repeatable, auditable, and high-performance platform with self-service APIs and SDKs.

What you'll do

  • Build and maintain data, feature, and training pipelines for ML and LLM workloads.
  • Implement automated evaluation gates and performance benchmarks for model promotion.
  • Automate the end-to-end model lifecycle using CI/CD and GitOps practices.
  • Build and operate production-grade model-serving infrastructure with inference optimization.
  • Architect and manage GPU infrastructure for scheduling, autoscaling, and resource isolation.
  • Instrument the platform with structured logging, telemetry, drift detection, and cost tracking.
  • Extend model registries and metadata systems to ensure traceable and auditable history.
  • Develop developer-facing APIs, SDK components, and documentation for self-service platform use.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, AI/ML, or a related field, or equivalent practical experience.
  • 3+ years of experience building and operating production software, including significant work on ML or AI infrastructure.
  • Strong Python skills including software engineering fundamentals like automated testing and code review.
  • Experience with the ML model lifecycle from training through evaluation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining.
  • Experience with Kubernetes for deploying, scaling, and debugging containerized workloads on a major cloud provider (AWS preferred).
  • Experience with CI/CD, GitOps-based delivery, and infrastructure automation.
  • Experience with ML workflow orchestration, experiment tracking, and GPU infrastructure at scale (preferred).
  • Experience with feature stores, data versioning, model monitoring, and delivering software in regulated environments (preferred).
