MLOps Engineer
The Opportunity:

Are you looking for an opportunity to make a difference and help build a system that will have a positive impact on the intelligence community (IC)? What if you could find a position that is tailor-made for your mix of development, engineering, and analytics? Efficient development teams make the most of their time by limiting the activities that take developers and data scientists away from writing their code. That's why we need an experienced machine learning (ML) engineer like you to help us design and architect an MLOps platform in the cloud that shortens the time it takes to get new capabilities from development to production, to support mission-critical operations.

On our Agile, highly collaborative team, you will help design, build, and maintain cloud-based software and infrastructure that powers enterprise-wide ML. You will implement and refine CI/CD workflows across development, test, and production environments. This position gives you the opportunity to expand your skills in Agile development, cloud-native engineering, containerization, and serverless technologies all while building systems that strengthen national security.

As an ML engineer, you will also identify opportunities to architect new solutions, enhance existing pipelines, and guide mission partners through their toughest technical challenges. Join us as we build tools that transform the future of the IC.

• 5+ years of experience with Object-Oriented Programming (OOP), including in Python

• 5+ years of experience developing containerized applications, including API design and authentication
