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, processing, and management across diverse data types. The individual will build analytical frameworks for the Data and Analytics Platform, developing machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI models. Key responsibilities include designing automated ML pipelines, managing model inference, and implementing MLOps observability. Required technologies include Python, SQL, BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow, Cloud Storage, and Vertex AI. The role also utilizes Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform, and FastAPI. The work involves solving technical challenges related to data velocity, security, and operational excellence for BI, AI, and ML-based applications.

What you'll do

  • Write modular Python code to develop and implement machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI models.
  • 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.
  • Package and deploy production models using Vertex AI Endpoints, Cloud Run, or Google Kubernetes Engine.
  • Implement MLOps observability to monitor for data drift, anomalous inputs, and latency regressions.
  • Transition experimental Python prototypes into production-grade microservices and expose them via REST/gRPC APIs.
  • Enforce enterprise security and responsible AI governance using IAM best practices and VPC Service Controls.
  • Prototype emerging GenAI capabilities including Gemini models and fine-tuning techniques within the GCP ecosystem.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor's Degree or equivalent in computer science, engineering, or information systems.
  • 5 to work experience in Platform Engineering or a related field.
  • Experience providing leadership in a general planning or consulting setting and as a senior member of multi-function project teams.
  • Proficiency in writing clean, modular Python code to develop machine learning, deep learning, and generative AI models.
  • Experience building scalable data engineering workflows using BigQuery, Cloud Dataflow (Apache Beam), and Cloud Storage (GCS).
  • Experience designing and maintaining automated ML pipelines using Vertex AI Pipelines (Kubeflow/TFX) and deploying models to GKE or Cloud Run.
  • Mastery of modern Python (3.10+), object-oriented programming, and API development using FastAPI (preferred).
  • Deep expertise in ML frameworks like PyTorch, TensorFlow, or JAX and experience with LLM orchestration like LangChain (preferred).
