Sr. MLOps Engineer – ML Platform

Bright.

AI is a high-growth Physical AI company transforming how infrastructure businesses interact with the physical world through intelligent automation. Our AI platform processes visual, spatial, and temporal data from billions of real‑world events—captured across edge devices, mobile sensors, and cloud infrastructure—to enable intelligent decision‑making at scale.

We are now hiring a Senior MLOps Engineer to lead the build‑out of our cloud‑native ML developer platform and production pipelines. This role is pivotal to building an integrated ML/AI development platform with programmatic data analysis and algorithm development capability on AWS—so teams can move from notebook to secure, reliable, and cost‑efficient production services quickly.

You’ll work at the intersection of ML engineering, cloud infrastructure, and developer experience, designing scalable data/model workflows, CI/CD for ML, observability, and governance that turn ideas into durable, monitored ML services.

• Design, build, and operate our ML/AI development platform on AWS —including Amazon Sage Maker AI (Studio/Notebooks, Training/Processing/Batch Transform, Real‑Time & Async Inference, Pipelines, Feature Store) and supporting services.
• Establish golden‑path project templates, base Docker images, and internal Python libraries to standardize experiments, data processing, training, and deployment workflows.
• Implement Infrastructure‑as‑Code (e.g., Terraform) and workflow orchestration (
  Step Functions , Airflow); optionally support EKS for training/inference.
• Build automated data pipelines with S3
  , Glue
  , EMR/Spark (PySpark),
  Athena/Redshift
  ; add data quality (Great Expectations/Deequ) and lineage.
• Stand up experiment tracking and a model registry (
  Sage Maker Experiments & Model Registry or MLflow ); enforce versioning for data, code, and models
  .
• Implement CI/CD for ML (Code Build/Code Pipeline or Git Hub Actions): unit/integration tests, data contracts, model tests, canary/shadow deployments, and safe rollback.
• Ship real‑time endpoints (Sage Maker endpoints/FastAPI on Lambda/ECS/EKS) and batch jobs; set SLOs and autoscaling, and optimize for cost/performance.
• Build monitoring & observability for production models and services (drift, performance, bias with Sage Maker Model Monitor; service telemetry with Cloud Watch/Prometheus/Grafana).
• Enforce security & governance:
  least‑privilege IAM , VPC isolation/Private Link, encryption, secret management.
• Partner with backend engineers to product ionize notebooks and prototypes.
• Help integrate GenAI/Bedrock services where appropriate; support RAG pipelines with vector stores (Open Search) and evaluation harnesses.

• B.S. or M.S. in Computer Science, Electrical/Computer Engineering, or related field; advanced degree a plus.
• Strong foundation in machine learning systems, distributed computing, and data engineering; applied experience building production grade ML platforms.

• 5+ years in software/ML engineering, including 2+ years in MLOps or in a similar role.
• Strong programming skills (proficient in Python
  ), fluent with Docker and Terraform or AWS CDK
  .
• Hands‑on with AWS :
  Sage Maker ,
  S3 ,
  IAM ,
  Cloud Watch ,
  ECR , and ECS/EKS/Lambda
  .
• Built and operated CI/CD for ML (tests for code/data/models; automated deploys) and shipped real‑time & batch ML workloads to production.
• Experience with experiment tracking & model registry (e.g., Sage Maker Experiments/Model Registry or MLflow) and data versioning
  .
• Implemented monitoring & quality (Sage Maker Model Monitor, Evidently AI, Great Expectations/Deequ) and created on‑call/runbooks for model & service incidents.
• Solid grasp of security & compliance in cloud ML (IAM policy design, VPC/private networking, KMS encryption, secrets management, audit logging).

• Distributed training at scale (Sage Maker Training, PyTorch DDP, Hugging Face on Sage Maker).
• Data engineering at scale (e.g., Spark/EMR, Glue, Redshift).
• Observability stacks (e.g., Grafana), performance tuning, and capacity planning for ML services.
• LLMOps/RAG (Bedrock, vector databases, evals) as optional capabilities.
• Prior startup experience building ML platforms and products from the ground up.
