MLOps & Productionization: Establish and champion MLOps best practices, including CI/CD for ML, model versioning, monitoring, and automated retraining pipelines to ensure model performance and reliability.
-
High-Performance Model Deployment: Optimize and deploy machine learning models (traditional ML and LLMs) for low-latency inference, leveraging containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and cloud services.
-
Cross-Functional Collaboration: Work hand-in-hand with Data Scientists to operationalize prototypes, with Software Engineers to integrate AI into applications, and with DevOps/Cloud teams to manage infrastructure.
-
Technical Leadership & Mentorship: Provide technical guidance, set coding standards, and mentor junior engineers to elevate the team's engineering excellence.
