SO, WHAT'S THE STORY?

As our rockstar ML and Data Science Engineer, you'll be the maestro orchestrating the seamless flow of brilliant machine learning models from the lab into the real world You'll be the architect, the builder, and the guardian of the pipelines that make magic happen. Get ready to team up with the brainy data scientists, the wizardly data engineers, and the cool-headed IT ops crew to make model deployment lightning fast, keep a hawk-eye on their performance, and fine-tune them until they sing. It's a global adventure and would entail collaboration with global teams across time zones to ensure operational continuity.

THE GIG:

• Development: Design, build, and maintain scalable data pipelines to support machine learning models
• Model Deployment: Develop and implement automated workflows for seamless production integration of machine learning models using CI/CD practices.
• Infrastructure Management: Design and maintain scalable infrastructure for ML workloads, utilizing cloud services (AWS, GCP, Azure) and container orchestration (e.g., Kubernetes).
• Monitoring & Performance Optimization: Establish monitoring frameworks to assess model performance, retraining needs, and data drift, ensuring models deliver optimal business value.
• Data Management: Ensure proper data pipeline processes, including data cleaning, transformation, and management, is in place to support model training and inference.
• Security & Compliance: Implement best practices related to model security, data privacy, and compliance with applicable regulations.
• Documentation and best practices: Produces architecture and design artifacts for complex applications, accountable for design constraints and best practices for code development.

THE STUFF THAT SETS YOU APART

Required Experience and Skills – Our Must Haves:

• Bachelor's degree in Computer science, Engineering, Data Science, or a related field. Master's degree preferred.
• 4+ years of experience in MLOps, machine learning, or data engineering.
• Proficiency with ML frameworks (e.g., TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) and understanding of supervised and unsupervised learning algorithms.
