- Maintain reliable pipelines for model training, fine-tuning, and evaluation
Infrastructure, DevOps & MLOps- Containerize AI services using Docker and deploy applications using Kubernetes or cloud infrastructure
- Build CI/CD pipelines for model deployments and application releases
- Monitor model performance, drift, costs, and system reliability
- Work with cloud platforms such as AWS, GCP, Azure, Vertex AI, or SageMaker
- Improve scalability, uptime, and infrastructure efficiency
Security, Compliance & Reliability- Implement secure API authentication, access control, and rate limiting
- Ensure AI systems comply with GDPR, HIPAA, SOC 2, or related compliance requirements
- Maintain monitoring, logging, and observability for production systems
- Troubleshoot production incidents and optimize system reliability
Collaboration & Product Development- Partner with product and data teams to define AI-powered product features
- Translate AI prototypes into scalable production systems
- Participate in sprint planning, technical discussions, and architecture decisions
- Maintain clear technical documentation and reproducible workflows
What Makes You a Great Fit- You are both a strong software engineer and a hands-on AI builder
- You enjoy shipping AI-powered features that solve real-world business problems
- You are comfortable moving from prototype to production independently
- You think critically about scalability, performance, cost, and usability
- You stay current with rapidly evolving AI tools, frameworks, and infrastructure
- You communicate clearly and collaborate effectively across technical and non-technical teams
Required Experience & Skills- 3+ years of software engineering experience with AI/ML exposure
- Strong proficiency in Python and JavaScript/TypeScript
- Experience with AI/ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow
- Experience deploying ML or LLM systems into production environments
- Strong frontend experience with React, Next.js, or Vue
- Experience building APIs and backend services
- Strong SQL skills and experience with cloud data platforms
- Familiarity with Docker, CI/CD pipelines, and cloud deployments
Preferred Experience- Experience building AI-powered SaaS platforms or automation products
- Experience with LLM fine-tuning, embeddings, and RAG systems
- Familiarity with vector databases and semantic search infrastructure
- Experience with MLOps tools such as MLflow, Kubeflow, Vertex AI, or SageMaker
- Knowledge of microservices, serverless architectures, and distributed systems
- Experience optimizing inference cost and performance at scale
