TL;DR · Senior MLOps Engineer

The Senior MLOps Engineer joins the IT team to build, scale, and evolve platforms that transition machine learning models from experimentation to reliable production systems. This role focuses on automating the model lifecycle, strengthening deployment and monitoring capabilities, and developing new MLOps and AgentOps features. The engineer will design production ML pipelines, manage scalable infrastructure for real-time and batch inference, and establish engineering standards for reproducibility and security. Key technical requirements include Python, AWS, Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform. Candidates should possess experience with CI/CD workflows, GitHub Actions, and observability tools like AWS CloudWatch. Specific expertise in Databricks, MLflow, and LLM or agentic AI projects—including RAG, evaluation, tracing, and guardrails—is required to solve complex production ML challenges and mentor other engineers within the organization.

What you'll do

  • Design, build, and scale production ML pipelines for model deployment, serving, monitoring, and lifecycle management.
  • Build and improve CI/CD workflows for ML models, including automated testing, versioning, and release processes.
  • Develop and operate scalable infrastructure to support real-time and batch model inference.
  • Implement monitoring and observability for ML systems to track performance, health, and reliability.
  • Expand MLOps capabilities into GenAI and AgentOps, including evaluation, tracing, and cost management.
  • Maintain and improve infrastructure using Infrastructure as Code tools like Terraform.
  • Support ML lifecycle capabilities such as experiment tracking, model registries, and workflow orchestration.
  • Mentor other engineers and establish engineering standards for reproducibility, security, and governance.

What we're looking for

  • Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Information Systems, a related field, or equivalent relevant work experience.
  • 5+ years of experience in software engineering, DevOps, ML engineering, MLOps, or a related discipline supporting production machine learning systems.
  • Strong Python programming skills and software engineering fundamentals.
  • Hands-on production MLOps experience across CI/CD, model deployment, model serving, and monitoring.
  • Hands-on experience with AWS cloud-based infrastructure, Docker, and Kubernetes.
  • Experience with Infrastructure as Code, such as Terraform.
  • Hands-on experience contributing to at least one LLM or agentic AI project, including RAG, evaluation, or guardrails.
  • Experience with Databricks and MLflow (preferred); experience with GitHub Actions and AWS CloudWatch (preferred).
