About The Position

As a Junior AI/MLOps Engineer, you will sit at the intersection of Data Science and Software Engineering. Your mission is to help us build, deploy, and monitor the automated pipelines that keep our machine learning models running smoothly in production. You aren't just building models; you’re building the "factory" that produces them.

Requirements

• Education: Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, AI, or a related technical field.
• Programming: Proficiency in Python (specifically libraries like Pandas, NumPy, and Scikit-learn).
• Foundational ML: A strong understanding of the ML lifecycle—from data preprocessing and feature engineering to evaluation metrics.
• Containerization: Familiarity with Docker and the concept of containerized applications.
• Version Control: Strong command of Git (branching, merging, and Pull Requests).

Nice To Haves

• Experience with MLOps tools like MLflow, Kubeflow, or DVC.
• Exposure to cloud platforms (AWS SageMaker, Google Vertex AI, or Azure ML).
• Basic understanding of Kubernetes or orchestration tools.
• Knowledge of SQL and NoSQL databases.

Responsibilities

• Pipeline Automation: Assist in building and maintaining CI/CD pipelines specifically for machine learning (CT - Continuous Training).
• Model Deployment: Package ML models into reproducible environments using Docker and deploy them via REST APIs or batch processing.
• Monitoring & Logging: Help set up dashboards to track model performance, data drift, and system health.
• Infrastructure as Code: Work with senior engineers to manage cloud resources (AWS/GCP/Azure) using tools like Terraform or CloudFormation.
• Collaboration: Bridge the gap between Data Scientists (who build the models) and Software Engineers (who build the product) to ensure seamless integration.

Benefits

• Impact: You will see your work directly influence how models perform in the real world.
• Growth: You’ll be mentored by senior engineers in one of the fastest-growing niches in tech.
• Innovation: We encourage experimenting with new tools to solve the "unsolved" problems of AI reliability.
