👋What are our wishes:  

We are seeking a hands-on MLOps / Machine Learning Engineer with deep expertise in the Azure Databricks ecosystem to help build our AI/ML platform from the ground up. You will work collaboratively with a cross-functional team to implement a predefined architecture and establish the foundations of a production-grade system that adheres to strict data governance and compliance standards.

Because this is a greenfield build, the role combines MLOps and Machine Learning engineering responsibilities into a single, integrated position. You will contribute across the end-to-end ML lifecycle from data pipelines and governance through to model deployment and monitoring with a strong focus on collaboration. As the platform grows, you will help shape best practices and define clear processes, ensuring responsibilities remain focused and sustainable

• 5+ years of experience as an ML Engineer, MLOps Engineer, or similar hybrid role.


• Strong proficiency in Python and ML frameworks such as Scikit-learn, XGBoost, PyTorch, or TensorFlow.


• Proven expertise in Azure Databricks, Azure ML, Data Factory, Delta Lake, and MLflow.


• Hands-on experience with Git for pipeline development (branching strategies, code reviews, version control best practices).


• Solid understanding of MLOps practices, CI/CD, and production ML requirements.


• Experience working under strict governance and compliance frameworks.


• Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Machine Learning, Engineering, or related field.

Preferred Qualifications

• Familiarity with Generative AI, LLM deployment, or RAG pipelines using Azure OpenAI Service, LangChain, or open-source LLMs.


• Experience with vector databases (e.g., FAISS, Milvus, Pinecone) and model explainability tools.


• Azure certifications (e.g., Azure Data Scientist Associate, Azure Solutions Architect, or Azure DevOps Engineer).

Soft Skills

• Curious and eager to learn — passionate about exploring new technologies and approaches.


• Collaborative mindset — thrives in a team environment and values collective success.


• Adaptable — comfortable in a role that spans both ML engineering and MLOps, with evolving responsibilities.


• Problem-solving skills — able to balance compliance requirements with practical implementation.


• Attention to detail — especially in governance, testing, and documentation.


• Proactive communicator — ensures alignment with teammates and stakeholders.

💼How can you contribute to the team?
