Build infrastructure to monitor model performance, data drift, and other key metrics in production. Develop and maintain tools for model versioning, reproducibility, and experiment tracking. Optimize model serving infrastructure for latency, scalability, and cost. Automate the end-to-end ML workflow, from data ingestion to model training, testing, deployment, and monitoring. Collaborate with data scientists to ensure that models are production-ready. Implement security, compliance, and governance practices for machine learning systems. Support troubleshooting and incident response for deployed ML systems. About You Strong programming skills in Python; experience with ML libraries such as Snowpark, PySpark or PyTorch Experience with containerization tools like Docker and orchestration tools like Airflow or Astronomer Familiarity with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure) and ML services (e.g., SageMaker, Vertex AI).
