Senior ML Ops Engineer

Experience

• 5+ years of experience in software engineering, machine learning engineering, or a related field, including at least 2 years of building and operating production ML or other data-intensive systems.
• Demonstrated ownership of cloud infrastructure and deployment pipelines, including Infrastructure as Code, AWS or Azure, CI/CD, and containerized applications.
• Strong Python programming skills and hands-on experience with modern data and ML platforms such as Databricks, Apache Spark, Delta Lake, and MLflow.
• A production-first engineering mindset, with experience in testing, observability, debugging, performance optimization, reliability engineering, and delivering enterprise ML systems that meet operational SLAs.
• Strong system design and communication skills, with the ability to define clean interfaces, evaluate architectural trade-offs, and make sound technical decisions in ambiguous environments.
• Experience working in international, cross-functional organizations, supporting the full product lifecycle from pre-sales demonstrations through production deployment for global enterprise customers.

What You Will Work On

• Design, build, and operate production-grade ML platforms and infrastructure across AWS and Azure in a globally distributed environment.
• Bridge the gap between research prototypes and production systems by improving software quality, deployment workflows, automation, and operational processes.
• Contribute to the technical architecture by identifying production risks, proposing pragmatic alternatives, and improving system reliability and scalability.
• Improve engineering transparency through architectural decision records, dependency mapping, operational documentation, and post-incident reviews.
• Mentor engineers across the team, promote engineering best practices, and help cultivate a culture of technical excellence and continuous improvement.

Nice to Have

• Experience with ML Ops platforms, model lifecycle management, feature stores, model monitoring, or AI evaluation infrastructure.
• Experience deploying and operating LLM-based or agentic AI systems in production.
• Familiarity with engineering maturity frameworks or organizational models such as CMMI, Cynefin, or similar approaches.
• Experience working through periods of significant organizational or technical change, including mergers, platform migrations, or large-scale reorganizations.

What This Role Is Not

This is not a narrowly scoped implementation or ticket-driven engineering role. We are looking for an engineer who can work across software, infrastructure, ML systems, and engineering processes, helping shape technical direction while remaining hands-on. Success in this role requires sound technical judgment, ownership, and the ability to balance immediate delivery with long-term maintainability.
