TL;DR · Platform Engineering Advisor

The Platform Engineering Advisor joins the team to develop, integrate, and manage technical frameworks within private, public, and hybrid cloud platforms. This role focuses on ensuring the performance and scalability of complex analytical applications by identifying patterns for data acquisition and processing across various volumes and velocities. The candidate will build robust analytical frameworks as the foundation for a Data and Analytics Platform while managing MLOps pipelines and production-grade microservices. Key technologies include Python, SQL, BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow, and Vertex AI tools like Kubeflow Pipelines and Model Garden. The role involves building RAG pipelines, implementing CI/CD workflows via GitHub Actions or GitLab CI, and utilizing Terraform for infrastructure as code. Core responsibilities involve optimizing model inference on GCP, ensuring security compliance, and transitioning experimental prototypes into scalable systems to support BI, AI, and ML applications.

What you'll do

  • Develop and implement machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI models using Python.
  • Build scalable data engineering and preprocessing workflows using BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow, and Cloud Storage.
  • Design and maintain automated ML pipelines for training, hyperparameter tuning, and deployment using Vertex AI Pipelines.
  • Deploy containerized models to production environments such as Cloud Run or Google Kubernetes Engine.
  • Implement MLOps observability to monitor model performance, data drift, and system latency.
  • Convert experimental research prototypes into robust, production-grade microservices via REST/gRPC APIs.
  • Enforce enterprise security, compliance, and responsible AI governance across all GCP workloads.
  • Prototype emerging GenAI capabilities including Gemini models and RAG pipelines within the Google Cloud ecosystem.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent formal training in computer science, engineering, or information systems.
  • Five to seven years of work experience in Platform Engineering or a related field.
  • Mastery of modern Python including asynchronous programming, API development with FastAPI/Flask, and testing with pytest.
  • Expertise in machine learning frameworks such as PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, or Hugging Face Transformers.
  • Experience building LLM-powered applications and RAG pipelines using Vertex AI, LangChain, or LlamaIndex.
  • Proficiency in SQL, BigQuery, and data libraries like Pandas, Polars, and PyArrow.
  • Experience with MLOps tools including Vertex AI Pipelines, Docker, Kubernetes (GKE), and Terraform for infrastructure as code.
  • Ability to develop CI/CD workflows using Cloud Build, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI.
