What you will be doing

  • Support end-to-end deployment of ML models (batch and real-time) from code validation through to production rollout under guidance from senior team members.
  • Work with Data Science teams to facilitate smooth model handover and ensure deployment readiness aligned with implementation standards.
  • Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for model deployment, scoring, and operational monitoring.
  • Debug and fix pipeline issues including data ingestion problems, model scoring failures, and deployment errors.
  • Write comprehensive tests for ML pipelines (unit, integration, validation) and implement data quality checks and operational monitoring.
  • Ensure deployed models meet audit, reconciliation, and governance requirements.
  • Monitor production models for operational health, troubleshoot failures, and track data/variable drift over time.
  • Work with Platform Engineers within the team to create reusable MLOps templates and support Data Scientists in using them effectively.
  • Support model migrations across data sources, tools, systems, and platforms.
  • Participate in code reviews, knowledge sharing, and pod activities (standups, grooming, delivery check-ins).
  • Learn from senior team members and contribute to continuous improvement of model delivery practices.

Required Skills & Experience

  • Solid Python engineering background with some experience in ML model deployment
  • Familiarity with AWS services and cloud-based ML deployment (SageMaker experience preferred but not required)
  • Basic understanding of data warehousing concepts and SQL (Snowflake experience a plus)
  • Experience with or willingness to learn CI/CD tooling (e.g. GitHub Actions), containerization (Docker), and workflow orchestration tools (Airflow/AstroCloud)
  • Strong debugging and troubleshooting skills for data pipelines and ML systems
  • Experience writing tests (unit, integration) and implementing monitoring/alerting for production systems
  • Strong data skills, including the ability to explore and validate datasets to ensure model inputs and outputs are correct
  • Basic understanding of ML lifecycle concepts and willingness to learn about model registry, versioning, and deployment practices
  • Experience collaborating with Data Science teams or similar cross-functional collaboration
  • Understanding of software testing and validation practices, with willingness to learn model-specific governance requirements
  • Ability to participate in code reviews and learn from feedback
  • Good communication skills with both technical and business stakeholders
  • Eagerness to learn and grow in ML engineering and deployment practices
  • (Nice to have) Any exposure to MLflow, model monitoring, or MLOps tools
  • (Nice to have) Experience with data pipeline tools or frameworks
