As an ML Ops Engineer at Bridg, you will be the engineering partner to a data science team that has built Bridg’s next‑generation identity resolution model. Your focus will be to help take their work from notebooks to monitored, automated production — building and maintaining the pipelines, tests, and observability that keep our match data reliable  will spend most of your week writing code: building pipelines, tuning Spark jobs, wiring up CI/CD, and leaving the system better tested and better documented than you found it.

We are a growing SaaS organization building cloud‑native, data‑intensive applications on AWS and Snowflake, using Spark, Python, MLflow, and related tooling. The ideal candidate is curious, collaborative, and comfortable working in a fast‑moving environment with a strong sense of ownership and accountability.

Director of Product, Bridg

• 2–4 years of experience building production data or ML systems, with a Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
• A highly motivated, curious, and capable learner with a strong sense of ownership and accountability
• A strong communicator and collaborator who works well across cross‑functional teams
• Comfortable in a fast‑moving environment — able to shift priorities, navigate ambiguity, and support a customer‑facing system

• Experience building and maintaining automated, tested ML or data pipelines in partnership with other teams (you don’t need to be a from‑scratch model builder)
• Experience optimizing CI/CD for data/ML:
  Git‑based workflows, automated unit and integration tests (pytest or similar), and branch‑based promotion through dev/stage/prod
• Workflow orchestration with Airflow, Step Functions, or Databricks Workflows, including retries, backfills, and basic SLA monitoring and alerting
• Familiarity with experiment tracking and model registries (MLflow or equivalent) for lineage and stage transitions
• Exposure to monitoring and observability — data‑quality and schema‑drift checks (such as Great Expectations, Deequ, or Datadog) and awareness of input/output distribution drift
• Infrastructure as code (Terraform preferred), secrets management, and reproducible Python environments (Docker, Poetry/uv/Conda)

• Production experience on AWS (S3, EMR, Glue, Step Functions, Lambda, IAM, Cloud Watch)
• Working knowledge of Spark performance — comfortable diagnosing and addressing common issues like skew, shuffle, and spill, with sensible partitioning and join strategies
• Experience serving processed outputs to downstream systems (e.g., Redshift for BI, activation, or attribution)

• A strong technical partner to data science (you’re not the lead data scientist on IDR — that’s covered)
• Able to run EDA and…
