The ML Ops Engineer will be responsible for designing and maintaining the infrastructure required to scale ML models, ensuring they are deployable, monitorable, and continuously improving.

Responsibilities

• Design and implement automated ML pipelines for model training, evaluation, and deployment using MLflow, Databricks Workflows, and AWS SageMaker Pipelines; own model registry governance including versioning, promotion, and retirement
• Build and manage scalable model serving infrastructure (REST APIs, WebSocket APIs) using Docker and Kubernetes/EKS for real-time and batch scoring across all risk and enablement model domains
• Architect and operate a sub-model orchestration layer, score computation service, score history, and audit logging compliant with HIPAA requirements
• Design and maintain feature store architecture, temporal feature computation, and data versioning to ensure training-serving consistency across all ML domains
• Implement and govern LLM API integrations (Claude/GPT via Bedrock) including prompt versioning, rate limiting, cost tracking, response logging, and output guardrails
• Build production monitoring and alerting for data drift, model decay, scoring latency, and pipeline failures; implement A/B testing infrastructure for controlled model rollouts
• Automate ML infrastructure provisioning using Terraform or AWS CloudFormation; manage secrets, access controls, PHI redaction, and HIPAA-compliant data handling across all services
• Help define and lead the enterprise MLOps platform strategy, drive adoption of core tooling, and mentor junior engineers on operational standards and best practices
• Establish CI/CD and Continuous Training (CT) workflows to enable rapid, safe, and auditable ML iteration across all project domains
• Perform other duties and special projects as assigned

• Strong AWS proficiency: S3, Lambda, API Gateway, SageMaker, Bedrock, Redshift, Athena, DynamoDB, Glue, Step Functions, Kinesis, Transcribe, Comprehend Medical, Secrets Manager
• Experience with stream processing (Kafka/Kinesis), event-driven pipeline design, and feature store architecture
• Familiarity with LLM API integration, prompt versioning, RAG infrastructure, and LLM quality and cost governance
• Strong Python proficiency; Bash scripting; Go or Java a plus
• Clear communicator able to translate operational constraints into actionable guidance for Data Scientists and product teams
• Collaborative, detail-oriented, and committed to reproducibility, HIPAA audit-readiness, and operational excellence
• Self-directed and intellectually curious; proactive in evaluating and adopting emerging MLOps tooling

Benefits

• Flexible schedules
• Remote-first culture
