Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and maintain scalable ML pipelines for training, evaluation, and deployment of LLMs and retrieval-augmented systems, optimized for performance, traceability, and reproducibility
Operationalize evaluation workflows using both synthetic and human-labeled datasets to monitor model quality at scale across multiple downstream tasks and customer deployments
Automate the ML Developer lifecycle by implementing robust data versioning, model tracking, and CI/CD pipelines using modern ML Ops tooling
Optimize model training and inference, focusing on reducing latency, maximizing throughput, and controlling cost across heterogeneous hardware environments.
Collaborate cross-functionally with research, infrastructure, and product teams to productionize foundation models and integrate them into customer-facing AI products
Deploy and manage both open-source and proprietary models within stringent constraints on latency, security, and compliance—balancing reliability with innovation.
Implement real-time monitoring and alerting systems to detect model/data drift, quality regressions, and infrastructure bottlenecks in live environments.
Work directly with enterprise customers, supporting deployment strategies, ensuring production readiness, and creating tight feedback loops from real-world usage to continuous model improvement
