Summary

We're looking for a Senior ML Developer to join our AIOps Platform team. In this role, you will work closely with Data Scientists to take AI/ML solutions to production. You will accelerate the delivery of our core AI services from proof-of-concept to highly available, production-grade. You will bridge the gap between data science and platform operations, applying robust software engineering practices, intent-driven development, and MLOps best practices to ensure our systems are scalable, reliable, and performant.

Key Responsibilities

  • Production ML Engineering: Collaborate with data science, platform developers and architects, and other teams to operationalize ML models, LLM / Agentic workflows, and advanced analytics.
  • MLOps & Lifecycle Management: Own the end-to-end ML lifecycle (feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment). Enforce MLOps best practices including CI/CD, model versioning, reproducibility, and rollout controls.
  • Pipeline & Architecture Design: Build real-time streaming pipelines using Apache Beam/Dataflow and design robust event-driven architectures (Kafka/PubSub patterns).
  • Design and build high-throughput, low-latency system architectures with strict idempotency and deduplication.
  • API & Service Delivery: Lead API and schema design for complex ML-enabled services.
  • Quality & Reliability: Instill a strong testing and quality mindset across the team (test-driven development, unit/integration tests, code reviews, security checks). Debug and optimize distributed systems for maximum performance.
  • Infrastructure Management: Implement Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDKTF) to manage scalable, cloud-native deployments.


Critical Qualifications

  • Bachelor's degree or higher in Computer Science or Computer Engineering or a related field. Relevant experience may be considered in lieu of a degree.
  • 5+ years of professional software engineering experience, specifically focused on production-grade AI/ML systems.
  • Expert-level proficiency in Python software engineering.
  • Strong experience with the GCP stack (Vertex AI, BigQuery, Spanner, GKE, GCS, Pub/Sub).
  • Deep practical knowledge of MLOps best practices and taking models from proof-of-concept to highly available production services.
  • Hands-on experience with real-time data processing (Apache Beam, Dataflow) and event-driven architecture (Kafka, PubSub).
  • Proven ability in Infrastructure as Code (Terraform/CDKTF) and cloud-native orchestration (Kubernetes).
  • Strong software-testing and quality discipline (unit/integration/end-to-end/functional testing, code review, security checks)
  • Hands-on experience with ML frameworks such as PyTorch, scikit-learn, XGBoost, or TensorFlow.
  • Experience with graph databases / Spanner Graph and Graph Neural Networks (GNN)
  • Strong communication, analytical, debugging, and cross-functional collaboration skills.
  • Ability to write clean, efficient, and reusable code.
  • Plus if you have experience with distributed / federated query engines such as Trino.


Preferred Qualifications

  • Experience with telecom industry data and network architecture.
  • Post-secondary degrees or certificates in Statistics, Mathematics, and Data Science.
  • Experience deploying secure agentic workflows with cost management and decision traceability.
