Design and implement robust MLOps pipelines for the end-to-end lifecycle of AI/ML models, from experimentation and training to deployment, monitoring, and governance.

Develop and maintain AI/ML infrastructure leveraging cloud-native technologies (primarily Azure) and open-source tools, including compute, storage, and networking optimized for AI/ML workloads.

Build and manage CI/CD pipelines for AI/ML models and related code, automating testing, validation, and deployment processes.

Implement monitoring and observability solutions for AI/ML systems, tracking model performance, data drift, infrastructure health, and application logs.

Develop and integrate AIOps capabilities to automate incident detection, root cause analysis, and remediation for AI/ML infrastructure and applications.

Establish and enforce MLOps best practices , including version control, experiment tracking (e.g., MLflow), model registry, deployment strategies (e.g., A/B testing, canary deployments), and security protocols.

Collaborate with Data Scientists, AI Engineers, and Data Engineers to provide tools and infrastructure that accelerate research and development.

Work with Software Engineers to integrate AI/ML models into applications and services, ensuring scalability, reliability, and performance.

Implement and manage data governance and lineage solutions for AI/ML datasets and models, ensuring data quality, compliance, and auditability.

Automate infrastructure provisioning and management using Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools (e.g., Terraform, ARM templates).

Evaluate and adopt new AIOps/MLOps tools and technologies to continuously improve AI/ML platforms and processes.

Troubleshoot and resolve issues related to AI/ML infrastructure, pipelines, and deployments in production environments.

Document all aspects of AI/ML infrastructure and MLOps processes clearly for both technical and non-technical stakeholders.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical field.

5+ years of hands-on experience in building and managing infrastructure and pipelines for ML applications in production.
