You will work closely with data scientists, machine learning engineers, DevOps teams, and software developers to deliver reliable, production-ready AI solutions.

Key Responsibilities

• Design, develop, and maintain scalable MLOps pipelines for machine learning model development and deployment.

• Automate model training, testing, validation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining workflows.

• Build and manage CI/CD pipelines for machine learning applications.

• Deploy and manage machine learning models on cloud platforms and Kubernetes environments.

• Implement model versioning, experiment tracking, and artifact management.

• Monitor model performance, data drift, concept drift, latency, and system health.

• Develop feature stores, model registries, and automated retraining pipelines.

• Collaborate with data scientists and ML engineers to optimize models for production environments.

• Ensure security, scalability, reliability, and compliance of ML infrastructure.

• Optimize infrastructure costs and resource utilization.

• Maintain technical documentation, deployment procedures, and operational best practices.

Required Qualifications

• Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Information Technology, Artificial Intelligence, Data Science, Software Engineering, or a related field.

• 3 6 years of experience in MLOps, DevOps, Machine Learning Engineering, or Cloud Engineering.

• Strong proficiency in Python.

• Experience with Linux, shell scripting, and Git.

• Hands-on experience with Docker and Kubernetes.

• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub Actions, GitLab CI/CD, Jenkins, or Azure DevOps.
