MLOps Engineer

Biz Firstis assisting our client with the hiring of an MLOps Engineer to build and operate the infrastructure, tooling, and processes that keep machine learning models running reliably in production. This is a foundational role in theclient’s growing AI practice, sitting at the intersection of data engineering,platform engineering, and applied ML – where your work directly enables data scientists and ML engineers to move faster and ship with confidence.

Ourclient is a mid‑market professional services organization that is actively rethinking how it designs and executes its core business operations through artificial intelligence and automation. The company is building a dedicated AI capability to embed machine learning and generative AI into its most critical internal workflows, from decision support and process automation to real-time analytics and intelligent document processing.

Theideal candidate has 4–8 years of experience in MLOps, Dev Ops, or platform/data engineering, with direct experience standing up and maintaining ML infrastructure in cloud environments. You have worked with CI/CD pipelines,containerized ML workloads, and model registries – and you understand what ittakes to move models from a notebook to a production system that is observable,scalable, and maintainable.

• Design,build, and maintain end-to-end ML pipelines including data ingestion, feature engineering, model training, evaluation, and deployment.
• Implement and manage CI/CD workflows for ML models, ensuring consistent, automated pathsfrom experimentation to production.
• Ownthe model registry, versioning strategy, and experiment tracking infrastructure used across the AI team.
• Build monitoring and alerting systems to detect model drift, data quality issues, and performance degradation in deployed systems.
• Manage containerized ML workloads using Docker and Kubernetes, including scheduling,resource allocation, and cost optimization.
• Collaborate closely with data scientists and ML engineers to understand infrastructure needs and reduce friction in the development lifecycle.
• Evaluate and adopt MLOps tooling (orchestration, feature stores, serving frameworks) tomature the team’s operational practices.
• Developrunbooks, documentation, and incident response procedures for production MLsystems.
