• Hands-on experience with at least one major MLOps toolset and awareness of alternatives: MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker Pipelines, Airflow, BentoML, KServe, Seldon
• Deep understanding of model lifecycle management (training → registry → deployment → monitoring).
• Experience implementing or supporting LLMOps pipelines , including: prompt versioning, evaluation metrics, automation frameworks
• Deep understanding of ML lifecycle : data ingestion, feature engineering, training, evaluation, model packaging, CI/CD, drift detection, monitoring, and governance.
• Strong experience with AWS SageMaker (Training, Processing, Batch Transform, Pipelines, Feature Store, Model Registry, Model Monitor).
• Experience implementing ML CI/CD pipelines including automated training, testing, validation, model promotion, and endpoint deployment.
• Ability to build dynamic and versioned pipelines using SageMaker Pipelines, Step Functions, or Kubeflow.
• Strong SQL and data transformation experience using Snowflake , Databricks, Spark, or EMR.
• Experience with feature engineering pipelines and Feature Store management (SageMaker or Feast).
• Understanding of lineage tracking : training data snapshot, feature versions, code versioning, metadata tracking, reproducibility.
• Hands-on experience with Bedrock , OpenAI , Anthropic , or Llama models.
• Experience with CloudWatch , SageMaker Model Monitor , Prometheus/Grafana , or Datadog .
• Strong foundation in Python and cloud-native development patterns.
• Solid understanding of security best practices, IAM, secrets management, and artifact governance.

Good to have skills:

• Experience with vector databases, RAG pipelines, or multi-agent AI systems.
• Exposure to DevOps and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, Helm, CDK).
• Hands-on understanding of model drift detection, A/B testing, canary rollouts, and blue-green deployments.
• Familiarity with Observability stacks (Prometheus, Grafana, CloudWatch, OpenTelemetry).
• Knowledge of Lakehouse (Delta/Iceberg/Hudi) architecture.
• Ability to translate business goals into scalable AI/ML platform designs.
• Strong communication and cross-team collaboration skills.
• Ability to guide engineering teams through technical uncertainty and design choices.

Key Responsibilities:

• Architect and implement the MLOps strategy for the EVOKE Phase-2 programme , ensuring alignment with the project proposal and delivery roadmap.
• Design and own enterprise-grade ML/LLM pipelines covering model training, validation, deployment, versioning, monitoring, and CI/CD automation.
• Build container-oriented ML platforms (EKS-first) while evaluating alternative orchestration tools with similar capabilities (Kubeflow, SageMaker, MLflow, Airflow, etc.).
• Implement hybrid MLOps + LLMOps workflows , including prompt/version governance, evaluation frameworks, and monitoring for LLM-based systems.
• Serve as a technical authority across multiple internal and customer projects, not limited to EVOKE, contributing architectural patterns, best practices, and reusable frameworks.
• Enable observability, monitoring, drift detection, lineage tracking, and auditability across ML/LLM systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — data engineering, platform, DevOps, and client stakeholders — to deliver production-ready ML solutions.
• Ensure all solutions adhere to security, governance, and compliance expectations , particularly around handling cloud services, Kubernetes workloads, and MLOps tools.
• Conduct architecture reviews, troubleshoot complex ML system issues, and guide teams through implementation across cloud-native ML platforms.
• Mentor engineers and provide guidance on modern MLOps tools, platform capabilities, and best practices.
