Senior MLOps/Data Engineer

Summary

Own and automate ML pipelines on Azure and Databricks, from data ingestion to model monitoring, ensuring reliability and observability for applied AI systems.

What you\'ll do


In a nutshell, own the end-to-end ML lifecycle on Azure and Databricks, working with applied scientists to operate reliable models.



  • Orchestrate and maintain ML pipelines (ingest → feature engineering → train → evaluate → deploy→monitor→repeat) on Azure + Databricks

  • Standardize experimentation using MLflow or similar tools (tracking, artifacts, model registry, stages)

  • Automate jobs with Databricks Workflows and CI/CD (GitHub Actions or Azure DevOps)

  • Implement data & model observability: freshness/completeness, drift (features/model), training/serving skew, SLA/SLO monitoring

  • Ensure security & compliance

  • Handle incidents and post-mortems for ML pipelines and serving infrastructure


What you\'ll need



  • Excellence in Python software engineering and developing tests

  • Fundamental understanding of Machine Learning

  • 3+ years in Data Eng/MLOps roles

  • Strong PySpark

  • Hands-on with Databricks and Delta Lake

  • CI/CD for data/ML (Git, PR workflow, automated tests, environment pinning)

  • Azure basics

  • Monitoring and building dashboards

  • Clear communication; operational-excellence mindset (SLA/SLO ownership)


What\'s nice to have



  • Unity Catalog experience

  • Databricks Feature Store

  • Terraform for workspace/clusters/jobs/UC objects

  • Telemetry domain exposure

  • Optimize PySpark jobs (partitioning, caching, etc.) and cost (autoscaling, spot).
