We are hiring an MLOps Engineer to own the CI/CD, infrastructure automation, and real-time model monitoring that keeps complex AI applications running at peak efficiency on a 12-month hybrid/remote contract (with option to renew).
As an MLOps Engineer, you will be the operational backbone of our AI platform engineering team. You will build automated CI/CD pipelines, provision environments using Infrastructure-As-Code, manage model deployment registries, and track real-time telemetry to prevent performance degradation.
The Tech Stack Deep-Dive
Must-Haves:
- Automation & CI/CD: CI/CD pipeline engineering, automated testing, and release management for AI workloads.
- Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC): IaC scripting to automate and provision AI development and runtime environments.
- Model Operations: Model deployment registries, feature stores, and automated retraining workflows.
- Monitoring & Observability: Real-time dashboards tracking latency, model drift, and performance degradation.
Nice-to-Haves:
- Incident Management: Production incident response protocols aimed at maintaining 99.5% availability and rapid MTTR.
- Governance & Standards: Model versioning, audit trail evidence, and compliance frameworks.
Key Responsibilities
- Automate AI Delivery: Build and manage CI/CD pipelines, automated test suites, and enterprise model registries.
- Provision Infrastructure: Write IaC scripts to rapidly spin up and maintain scalable AI platforms and execution environments.
- Track Model Drift: Implement real-time monitoring dashboards to detect latency spikes, accuracy loss, and model degradation.
- Guarantee Uptime: Execute automated retraining schedules and provide incident response to maximize platform availability.
Why Join Us?
- Production at Scale: Operationalize cutting-edge GenAI and ML workloads in live enterprise environments rather than maintaining static PoCs.
- Complete Automation Culture: Drive an infrastructure-first mindset backed by automated retraining, continuous integration, and modern IaC.
- Hybrid / Remote Work: Enjoy high operational autonomy within a flexible, remote-friendly work setup.
