  • Stay abreast of the latest research and industry trends, translating these insights into actionable, production‑level solutions.
  • Contribute to internal technical documentation and share knowledge across teams.
  • Lifecycle Management & Reliability

  • Oversee the end‑to‑end lifecycle of machine learning models, ensuring robust testing, deployment, and ongoing monitoring.
  • Develop and implement systems for model monitoring, alerting, and automated retraining to maintain peak performance in production.
  • Ensure adherence to industry standards, security protocols, and regulatory compliance throughout the ML lifecycle.
  • Cross‑Functional Collaboration

  • Work closely with data scientists, software engineers, and product teams to seamlessly integrate ML systems into production environments.
  • Translate complex technical concepts into actionable insights for both technical and non‑technical stakeholders.
  • Foster a collaborative environment that encourages innovation and the sharing of best practices across teams.
  • Minimum Qualifications

  • Bachelor’s degree in Machine Learning, Computer Science, Statistics, Mathematics, or a related field; an advanced degree (master’s or Ph.D.) is highly desirable.
  • 10+ years of hands‑on experience in designing, implementing, and optimizing AI / ML systems in production environments.
  • Extensive expertise in architecting large‑scale data pipelines, real‑time AI / ML serving architectures, and managing the end‑to‑end AI / ML lifecycle.
  • Proven ability to tackle complex technical challenges, innovate through hands‑on experimentation, and set technical standards across teams.
  • Deep proficiency in programming languages such as Python, Java, or similar, with a strong emphasis on coding excellence.
  • Experience with backend distributed systems & tools (e.g., Airflow, DBT, Temporal, Kubernetes) and big‑data technologies (e.g., Spark, MongoDB, Opensearch, Snowflake, Neo4j, Redis).
  • Significant experience working with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, etc.) and their machine learning services (e.g., SageMaker, Azure ML, AWS Bedrock).
  • Familiarity with frameworks for model interpretability, fairness, and regulatory compliance, ensuring ethical and transparent ML systems.
  • Proficiency in machine learning frameworks such as TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit‑learn, Langchain, Langraph, etc.
