Real-Time Pipeline Build: Architect and implement solutions to transition high-volume model serving (10M+ customers, 1.2M+ product variants) to real-time performance.

MLflow & Databricks Mastery: Lead the optimal integration and use of MLflow for model registry, experiment tracking, and deployment within the Databricks platform.

DevOps for ML: Build and automate robust CI/CD pipelines using GIT to ensure stable, reliable, and frequent model releases.

Performance Engineering: Profile and optimise large-scale Spark/Python codebases for production efficiency, focusing on minimising latency and cost.

Knowledge Transfer: Act as the technical lead to embed MLOps standards into the core Data Engineering team.

Key Skills:

Must Have:

  • MLOps: Proven experience designing and implementing end-to-end MLOps processes in a production environment.

  • Cloud ML Stack: Expert proficiency with Databricks and MLflow.

  • Big Data/Coding: Expert Apache Spark and Python engineering experience on large datasets.

  • Core Engineering: Strong experience with GIT for version control and building CI/CD / release pipelines.

  • Data Fundamentals: Excellent SQL skills.

Nice-to-Have/Desirable Skills

  • DevOps/CICD (Pipeline experience)

  • GCP (Familiarity with Google Cloud Platform)

  • Data Science (Good understanding of math/model fundamentals for optimisation)

  • Familiarity with low-latency data stores (e.g., CosmosDB).

If you have the capability to bring MLOps maturity to a traditional Engineering team using the MLFlow/Databricks/Spark stack, please email: with your CV and contract details.
