MLOps Engineer

Relevant Experience : 4 to 6 years

Job Description :

Infrastructure & Pipeline Development :

- Design and maintain Argo Workflows / Argo Eventsbased ML and data processing pipelines across environments (dev / QA / staging / prod).

- Design and maintain WorkflowTemplates, DAGs, fan-out patterns, scheduled workflows, and event-driven triggers following GitOps best practices.

- Design and develop Python-based workflows and components for ML data processing and model inference.

- Work with Databricks and Spark-based workloads for data processing, transformation, and pipeline execution.

- Build and maintain Docker images for ML and GPU-accelerated workloads, including multi-stage builds and container optimization.

- Develop scalable inference workflows using Ray where required.

- Integrate with Azure ML and Azure cloud services for model versioning, model artifacts, training workflows, and deployment.

- Maintain CI/CD pipelines with automated testing, quality gates, and environment-specific deployment processes.

Model Deployment & Operations :

- Automate deployment, monitoring, and rollback of machine learning and deep learning models on production Kubernetes environments.

- Manage model versioning and artifact movement from cloud ML workspaces and storage systems to production workloads.

- Maintain configuration systems and reusable workflow components to ensure reproducible pipeline execution across environments.

- Monitor model and pipeline performance, data processing health, resource utilization, and infrastructure reliability.

- Troubleshoot production issues involving failed workflows, data bottlenecks, resource contention, GPU utilization, and latency regressions.

- Identify reliability and performance issues proactively and implement improvements to ML and data processing workflows.

- Collaborate with data scientists and engineering teams to improve model deployment, inference, and pipeline reliability.

Expertise and Qualifications :
