You will work across model training and refresh workflows, APIs, orchestration, data pipelines, production monitoring, and user-facing experiences such as model dashboards and training controls.\nWhen a customer needs a better model, a refresh workflow, or visibility into model health, you will help make it real: build the experience, connect it to reliable backend systems, validate the outcome, and operate it safely in production.\nYou'll be our first MLOps engineer in the US, working closely with the MLOps team in India so customer work reaches production in days, not weeks. Most of your work is behind the scenes, with customer conversations when the technical details matter.\nWhat You'll Do\nBuild for the customer\nProductionize customer-tailored predictive models, configurations, and scoring workflows with validation, release, monitoring, and rollback paths.\nBuild and improve UI workflows for training triggers, model refreshes, validation outcomes, model status, and operational troubleshooting.\nEnhance model dashboards that make model health, score changes, data quality, refresh status, and production issues understandable to internal users and customers.\nBuild or modify the APIs, backend services, data contracts, and orchestration workflows behind those experiences.\nAutomate model retraining, validation, promotion, and deployment workflows for customer engagements.\nCreate safeguards for data quality, score distributions, threshold changes, and edge cases before model changes reach production.\nMonitor models and services for drift, data shifts, reliability issues, and operational regressions.\nProductize for everyone\nTurn repeatable customer solutions into reusable product and platform capabilities with Product, Data Science, and Platform Engineering.\nBuild deployment templates, reusable workflow components, and configuration-driven interfaces that support many customers without one-off operational work.\nCreate self-service or assisted tools for teams to initiate training, monitor refreshes, review validation results, and troubleshoot model issues safely.\nImprove the MLOps platform where needed, including Kubernetes workloads, compute, pipelines, CI/CD, deployment tooling, and observability.\nEstablish clear runbooks, release checklists, audit trails, and support processes for model operations.\nIdentify recurring customer pain points and convert them into product requirements, platform improvements, or durable operational tooling.\nWhat You'll Bring\n6+ years of experience in MLOps, ML platform engineering, backend engineering, full-stack engineering, or related production engineering roles.\nExperience owning machine-learning systems in production, including training, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and incident response.\nStrong Python and SQL skills, including APIs, backend services, asynchronous workflows, testing, CI/CD, and observability.\nExperience building or materially contributing to internal tools, operational dashboards, or customer-facing product workflows.\nComfortable debugging across the stack: UI, APIs, workflows, data pipelines, model artifacts, and production infrastructure.\nExperience releasing changes safely across multiple customers or production environments, including staged rollout, impact checks, and rollback.\nWorking knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.\nStrong communication and judgment when balancing customer urgency, usability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.\nNice to have: Fast API and Frontend experience.\nAirflow, Spark, MLflow, model registries, feature pipelines, or workflow orchestration.\nAWS, S3, Hive, distributed compute, and multi-tenant SaaS experience.\nForward-deployed, consulting, solutions, implementation, or customer-facing engineering experience.\nB2B SaaS, go-to-market data, or predictive modeling experience.\nWhat Success Looks Like\nWithin 3 months\nUnderstand the predictive-model lifecycle and improve at least one meaningful deployment, support, or visibility bottleneck.\nBring clear release, monitoring, and support plans to active customer model engagements.\nWithin 6 months\nCommon training, refresh, validation, and deployment workflows are materially more automated.\nModel dashboards or internal workflows provide clear visibility into model status, health, and refresh progress.\nCustomer model changes move to production faster, with stronger operational controls.\nWithin 12 months\nAt least one customer-specific solution has become a reusable product or platform capability.\nThe team can reliably deliver and operate customer-tailored models without fragile manual processes or overnight handoffs.\nWhy this role is different: You won’t only maintain ML infrastructure. You’ll build the product experiences and production systems that make predictive models easier to launch, understand, refresh, and trust-then turn what works for one customer into something that benefits many.\nBase Salary Range: $191,475.00 - $260,830.00 .
