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

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.
