• Design, build, and maintain production-grade ML pipelines on Databricks
• Operationalize ML models, including deployment, monitoring, and lifecycle management
• Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows
• Develop and manage real-time and streaming data pipelines
• Collaborate closely with Data Scientists to productionize models efficiently
• Implement model versioning, experiment tracking, and reproducibility
• Define and enforce ML best practices, governance, and quality standards
• Monitor model performance and data drift; implement automated retraining strategies
• Optimize performance, scalability, and cost of distributed workloads
• Contribute to platform design for low-latency inference and scalable serving

Required Qualifications (Must-Have)

• Strong experience with Databricks (Workflows, MLflow, Delta Lake)
• Deep expertise in Apache Spark (batch and streaming)
• Advanced Python skills (production-quality code)
• Hands-on experience with streaming / real-time systems

• Monitoring and observability tools (ELK or similar)
• Familiarity with A/B testing / experimentation frameworks
• Experience with LLM deployment and serving
• Knowledge of RBAC, security, and governance in data/ML platforms
• Experience in cloud environments (Azure preferred)

What Success Looks Like

• Fully automated, reliable ML pipelines from experimentation to production
• High-quality, observable, and maintainable ML systems
• Strong alignment between data science, engineering, and platform teams
• Scalable infrastructure that supports both batch and real-time workloads

Example Use Cases You Will Support

• Recommendation Systems (real-time / near real-time customer personalization)
• LLM-based Products, including Text-to-SQL systems
• Customer Personalization
