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 building scalable analytical frameworks for data acquisition, processing, and management to support BI, AI, and ML applications. The candidate will write Python code to implement machine learning models, build data engineering workflows using BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow, and Cloud Storage, and manage MLOps pipelines via Vertex AI. Key technologies include PyTorch, TensorFlow, JAX, Hugging Face, and LangChain, alongside infrastructure tools like Terraform, Docker, and GKE. The role involves transitioning research prototypes into production-grade microservices using FastAPI while ensuring security through IAM and VPC controls. Ultimately, the position solves complex scalability and performance challenges for the organization's Data and Analytics Platform by balancing reliability with operational excellence across various data types.

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 via 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 using FastAPI.
  • Enforce enterprise security, compliance, and responsible AI governance across all GCP workloads.
  • Prototype and integrate emerging GenAI capabilities including Gemini models and RAG pipelines.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's degree or equivalent in computer science, engineering, information systems, or related field.
  • Five to seven years of work experience in Platform Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience providing leadership in planning, consulting settings, or as a senior member of multi-function teams.
  • Proficiency in writing modular Python code for machine learning and generative AI models.
  • Ability to build data pipelines using BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow, and Google Cloud Storage.
  • Experience deploying containerized applications on Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE) or Cloud Run.
  • Advanced knowledge of ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or Hugging Face (preferred).
  • Proficiency in SQL and data libraries such as Pandas, Polars, or PyArrow (preferred).
