We are seeking an AI/ML Ops Engineer who is passionate about transforming AI/ML capabilities, especially Natural Language Processing (NLP) and Large Language Models (LLMs/Generative AI), into tangible, high-value features within modern software systems. This role will support a major data migration initiative with the Department of Transportation which involves transitioning from a legacy Oracle-based system to a modern data analytics platform, integrating dozens of data sources and thousands of reports. This position requires strong MLOps expertise, technical curiosity, and the ability to engage directly with clients, data scientists, and engineers. You will focus on automating the deployment, integration, and operationalization of AI capabilities, working with pre-trained and custom models to ensure they are seamlessly embedded into production systems for measurable business and user impact. This includes designing and managing scalable AI/ML pipelines, integrating models with cloud-native platforms, and ensuring solutions remain reliable, explainable, and continuously optimized.
