• Partner with Data Scientists to identify and automate high‑impact model use cases, building end‑to‑end pipelines (CI/CD, monitoring, alerting).
• Define and enforce standardized deployment patterns and runbooks across teams.
• Own KTLO (keep‑the‑lights‑on) operations for ML and GenAI systems including health monitoring, logging, and performance tracking.
• Design and implement pipelines for batch, real‑time, and event‑driven inference.
• Establish observability frameworks (monitoring, logging, lineage, alerting).
• Enable deployment of agentic AI solutions using tools such as LangChain, LangGraph, Semantic Kernel, and Databricks tools.
• Ensure secure deployment of applications with proper access controls (e.g., Okta integration).
• Drive cost and performance optimization across ML and GenAI workloads.
• Partner with architecture, compliance, governance, and legal teams to meet enterprise standards.
• Conduct ongoing research into emerging tools and technologies to improve deployment practices.
• Guide and influence architectural decisions while maintaining clear separation between platform and deployment ownership.

Qualifications

• Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Strong cross‑functional collaboration skills (Data Science, Product, Architecture).
• Ability to drive standardization, automation, and platform maturity.
• Focus on reliability, scalability, and optimization.

Minimum Requirements

• Degree or equivalent and typically requires 7+ years of relevant experience.

Preferable Skills & Experience

• Experience with Databricks ecosystem (e.g., Databricks Genie).
• Familiarity with LangChain, LangGraph, or Microsoft Semantic Kernel.
• Exposure to GenAI cost optimization / FinOps practices.
• Experience implementing secure enterprise applications (e.g., Okta).
• Experience in healthcare or regulated environments.
• Experience scaling ML/AI capabilities from experimentation to production maturity.
