AI Engineer (MLOps & LLMOps)

Your role

At Dataroots, we deliver end-to-end data and AI solutions, from strategy and platform design to data engineering and AI-enabled systems. That broad scope is reflected in our team: AI engineers, data engineers, cloud architects, and data strategists. Each discipline brings its own expertise, but we share knowledge, perspectives, and a common way of thinking across disciplines.

Within that team, you design, build and deploy AI solutions that deliver tangible business value for our clients across a variety of industries, spanning classical ML, modern GenAI, and Agentic AI use cases. Beyond developing AI solutions, you have a particular passion for bringing them into production. You design robust deployment pipelines, automate testing and releases, implement monitoring and observability, and help build AI systems that remain reliable, scalable and maintainable throughout their lifecycle.

By combining strong AI engineering skills with expertise in MLOps and LLMOps, you help clients operationalize AI at scale. Whether it's deploying machine learning models, productionizing GenAI applications, or improving the reliability and governance of AI systems, you ensure solutions are built to create lasting business value.
