- Architect scalable ML infrastructure supporting experiment tracking, feature stores, model registries,



and automated retraining pipelines.
- Enable CI/CD for ML (CI/CD/CT) integrating model testing, validation, and rollback strategies into deployment workflows.
- Collaborate with Data Science and ML Engineering teams to productionize models efficiently, ensuring reproducibility and scalability.
- Implement monitoring/observability for deployed models (data drift, model drift, performance degradation).
- Optimize GPU/compute resource utilization for training and inference workloads (including on Kubernetes).

Leadership Collaboration
- Act as a technical leader and mentor for DevOps, SRE, and Platform engineering teams.
- Partner with engineering, data science, security, and product leadership to align platform strategy with business goals.
- Drive architectural reviews, design documents, and technical roadmaps.
- Evaluate and introduce new tools/technologies to improve platform maturity and developer experience.

- 14+ years of experience in DevOps, Site Reliability Engineering, Cloud/Platform Architecture, or related roles.
- Proven experience architecting large-scale, production-grade infrastructure on AWS, Azure, or GCP (multi-cloud experience a plus).
- Strong hands-on expertise with Kubernetes and container orchestration at scale.




- Deep experience with Infrastructure as Code (Terraform, CloudFormation, Pulumi).
- Solid background in CI/CD tooling (Jenkins, GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, ArgoCD, Spinnaker).
- Hands-on MLOps experience with tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, Azure ML, or similar.
- Experience with model serving frameworks (KServe, Seldon, TorchServe, Triton Inference Server) and feature stores (Feast or similar).
- Proficiency in scripting/automation (Python, Bash, Go).
- Strong knowledge of observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK/EFK, Datadog, New Relic).
- Experience with service mesh and API gateway technologies (Istio, Envoy, Kong).
- Solid understanding of networking, security best practices, and compliance frameworks (SOC2, HIPAA, ISO 27001 as applicable).
- Experience with GPU infrastructure and distributed training frameworks is a strong plus.
- Excellent communication skills with a track record of technical leadership and cross-functional collaboration.

Good to Have (Preferred)
- Certifications: AWS/Azure/GCP Solutions Architect (Professional level), CKA/CKAD, or equivalent.
- Experience with data pipeline orchestration (Airflow, Dagster, Prefect).
- Familiarity with LLMOps / Generative AI deployment patterns (vector databases, RAG pipelines, model gateways).
- Experience building internal developer platforms (IDPs) or self-service infrastructure tooling.
- Background in FinOps / cloud cost optimization at scale.
