Senior ML Ops Engineer

Job Description

As a Senior MLOps Engineer, you will be responsible for building and operating the tooling, infrastructure, and automation that enable machine learning models to be trained, evaluated, deployed, and monitored reliably across development, test, and production environments. You will lead the adoption of MLOps best practices across Engineering and Data Science teams and develop strategies and platforms that allow models to be continuously delivered, governed, and iterated on as part of a modern cloud-native AI/ML platform.

Responsibilities

Own the ML platform infrastructure (training, serving, feature store, model registry) with attention to cost, reliability, and security.

Lead initiatives to improve observability and monitoring for data pipelines and ML services, including data drift, model performance, and latency.

Provide on-call support for production ML services; drive incident management and disaster recovery for ML workloads.

Lead the implementation and adoption of MLOps automation (CI/CD for ML, model packaging, deployment, rollback, and retraining orchestration).

Partner with Data Science and Engineering to improve reproducibility, experiment tracking, and model governance (versioning, lineage, approvals).

Establish quality gates for datasets, features, and models (tests, validation, bias/risk checks) before promotion to production.

Drive platform and tooling improvements (build in-house frameworks, templates, and reusable components to accelerate ML delivery).

Champion Responsible AI practices: auditability, explainability, access controls, and compliance processes.

Implement And Maintain Model Monitoring Systems To Track

Prediction accuracy and performance metrics over time.

Data drift and concept drift detection to trigger retraining workflows.

Latency and resource utilization for inference services.

Alerts and dashboards for anomalies, failures, and SLA breaches.

Develop automated retraining and rollback strategies based on monitoring insights

Experience And Competencies

The following experience is expected to be successful in this role.

Required

8+ years of experience in Cloud Ops

3+ years of experience in MLOps, ML engineering, or platform/DevOps roles supporting ML in production.

Proficient with containerization and orchestration: Docker, Kubernetes.

Experience building CI/CD pipelines for ML (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins).

Proficient with ML lifecycle tooling: MLflow, Kubeflow, TFX, model registries.

Strong Python skills and familiarity with ML frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch).

Experience deploying online/batch inference services and optimizing for latency and throughput.

Proficient with cloud platforms (AWS/GCP/Azure) and managed ML services.

Knowledge of data engineering foundations: feature stores, data validation, lineage.

Experience with observability: logs, metrics, traces (Prometheus, Grafana) and model/data drift monitoring.

Solid understanding of security and governance for ML systems.

Desirable

Bachelor’s/Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related fields.

Experience with infrastructure as code (Terraform, CloudFormation).

Familiarity with feature stores and data quality frameworks.

Hands-on with real-time/streaming data and online feature serving.

Experience with model explainability and Responsible AI risk checks.

Certifications in cloud ML services or Kubernetes are a plus.
