• Implement MLOps best practices across the ML lifecycle including data preprocessing, feature engineering, model training, testing, deployment, and monitoring.
• Create reproducible and automated model CI/CD pipelines integrating data, code, and infrastructure components.
• Establish continuous model monitoring frameworks addressing data drift, concept drift, and performance degradation.
• Ensure secure, scalable, and compliant ML workloads aligned with enterprise standards including IAM, KMS, networking, and observability.
• Partner with data scientists, data engineers, and cloud architects to operationalise ML solutions in production.
• Troubleshoot ML pipelines, model deployment issues, and infrastructure bottlenecks.

• 4–7 years of hands-on experience in MLOps, ML engineering, or cloud-based automation roles.
• Strong expertise in AWS CloudFormation for infrastructure as code automation.
• Solid experience with Amazon SageMaker including training, inference, pipelines, and model registry.
• Strong hands-on experience with AWS Glue and Apache Spark for ETL and distributed data processing.
• Proficiency in Python for ML and ETL automation and production pipelines.
• Strong understanding of ML lifecycle management, data preprocessing and feature engineering, model evaluation, versioning, deployment strategies, and performance monitoring and alerting.
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines for ML using tools such as CodePipeline, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, or similar.
• Good understanding of ML frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, or Scikit-learn for integration and packaging.
