MLOps Engineer

MLOps Engineer

The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference and help build a system that will have a positive impact on the intelligence community (IC)? What if you could find a position that is tailor-made for your mix of development, engineering, and analytics? Efficient development teams make the most of their time by limiting the activities that take developers and data scientists away from writing their code. That’s why we need an experienced machine learning (ML) engineer like you to help us design and architect an MLOps platform in the cloud that shortens the time it takes to get new capabilities from development to production, to support mission-critical operations.

As an MLOps Engineer on our team, you’ll use your development experience to streamline our development life cycle from development to production. You’ll be working with a collaborative Agile development team to build and maintain cloud software and infrastructure that supports ML across the enterprise. You’ll implement continuous integration and continuous deployment (CI/CD) into development, testing, and production environments. This is an opportunity to broaden your skillset into areas like Agile development, cloud-based development, containerization, and serverless while developing software that will improve national security. As an ML engineer, you’ll identify new opportunities to build solutions and architecture to help your customers meet their toughest challenges. Join our team as we build tools to transform the future of the IC.

Join us. The world can’t wait.
