Must Have
- 4+ years of software or machine-learning engineering experience, including hands-on experience deploying models to production.
- Demonstrated track record operationalizing models developed by data scientists into reliable, scalable, and observable production systems.
- Production experience with classical machine-learning workloads — distinct from generative-AI application development.
- Strong collaboration skills across data science, software engineering, and platform teams.
- Commitment to building reliable, well-engineered, and maintainable systems.
Nice to Have
- Experience with feature stores and large-scale or streaming data pipelines.
- Knowledge of infrastructure-as-code (e.g., Terraform) and cloud cost optimization.
- Experience with workflow orchestration tools (e.g., Apache Airflow).
- Familiarity with model-serving frameworks and API design for inference.
- Light exposure to generative-AI or LLM deployment.
- Experience operating systems in a regulated or enterprise environment.
- Cloud or MLOps certifications.
