DevOps / ML Engineer
Description
We're looking for a DevOps / ML Engineer who sits at the crossroads of infrastructure, backend development, and machine learning operations. You won't be building ML models from scratch, but you'll need a solid understanding of ML algorithms and pipelines to design, deploy, and maintain the systems that power them. Think of this as an MLOps-flavored backend role: you'll build CI/CD pipelines, debug ML pipeline failures, propose automation solutions, and keep our production ML systems running smoothly.
Responsibilities:
- Design, build, and continuously improve CI/CD pipelines for both traditional backend services and ML workloads.
- Debug and resolve issues across ML pipelines from data ingestion to model serving, working closely with the data science team.
- Develop and maintain Python-based backend services and tooling that support our ML infrastructure.
- Propose and implement MLOps automation solutions: model versioning, experiment tracking, automated retraining, and monitoring.
- Manage cloud infrastructure (AWS/GCP/Azure), container orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes), and IaC tools (Terraform, Pulumi).
- Monitor production systems, set up alerting, and ensure high availability of ML-powered features.
- Collaborate with data scientists and backend engineers in an agile environment to ship reliable, scalable systems.
Requirements:
- 2-3+ years of experience in DevOps, backend engineering, or MLOps roles.
- Strong Python skills: You can write production-grade backend code, not just scripts.
- Solid understanding of ML algorithms and workflows (training, evaluation, and deployment) enough to debug pipeline issues and have informed conversations with data scientists.
- Hands-on experience designing and maintaining CI/CD pipelines (GitHub Actions, GitLab CI, Jenkins, or similar).
- Experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes).
- Familiarity with ML tooling: MLflow, Kubeflow, Airflow, DVC, or equivalent.
- A proactive, ownership-driven mindset: you identify bottlenecks and propose solutions before being asked.
- Comfort with agile workflows and fast iteration cycles: You thrive in environments where priorities shift and quality still matters.
- Bachelor's / Master's Degree in CS / ECE / EE / AI / ML / Data Science.
