You will play a pivotal role at the intersection of cutting-edge DevOps and Machine Learning Engineering. Your primary mission is to operationalize AI and ML models by designing, building, and maintaining scalable, resilient, and efficient ML infrastructure and deployment pipelines.

Lead the integration of DevOps practices within the ML lifecycle, including version control, containerization, orchestration, and monitoring.
Deploy and optimize machine learning models in cloud-native environments (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP).
Implement MLOps best practices around model versioning, validation, retraining, and monitoring.
Innovate within the DevOps space to create novel frameworks and automation strategies that spark innovation and position the organization at the forefront of AI operational excellence.
Collaborate with business development teams and Group Technology SMEs to understand requirements and deliver robust, scalable AI solutions.
Perform root cause analysis and resolve system issues across both infrastructure and application layers.
Provide architectural guidance for AI/ML solution design and deployment.
Enable cross-functional teams through tooling, documentation, and mentoring on scalable AI/ML development.
Mentor and coach junior engineers and team members, fostering a culture of continuous learning, collaboration, and technical excellence.
Stay informed about emerging trends and technologies in DevOps, MLOps, and AI deployment strategies.

Qualifications and experience

Knowledge and skills

Strong experience with DevOps tools and practices (CI/CD pipelines, GitOps, infrastructure as code (e.g., Terraform, Cloud Formation, Pulumi etc.)).
Proficient in containerization and orchestration tools (e.g., Docker, Kubernetes, Amazon ECS, Amazon EKS, Google Kubernetes Engine).
Deep understanding of networking fundamentals and security principles in cloud-based environments.
Skilled in designing and maintaining distributed, parallel computing environments (e.g., Spark, Dask, Ray).
Solid experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, GCP) and their AI/ML toolsets.
Experience with MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, or similar MLOps platforms.
Demonstrated ability in debugging complex infrastructure and application issues with strong root cause analysis skills.
Proven track record of designing and implementing scalable ML/AI architectures.
Familiarity with model monitoring, data drift detection, and retraining strategies.

Personal attributes

Analytical and systems-oriented thinker: Able to understand complex ML systems, identify root causes, and design scalable, resilient solutions.
Collaboration-focused: Works effectively with data scientists, engineers, architects, and business stakeholders to turn ideas into production-ready solutions.
Adaptable and learning-driven: Comfortable operating in a fast‑evolving AI and Generative AI landscape and committed to continuous learning.
