Technical Architect - ML

Key Responsibilities

• Architect and implement the MLOps strategy for the programme, ensuring alignment with the project proposal and delivery roadmap.
• Design and own enterprise-grade ML/LLM pipelines covering model training, validation, deployment, versioning, monitoring, and CI/CD automation.
• Implement hybrid MLOps + LLMOps workflows, including prompt/version governance, evaluation frameworks, and monitoring for LLM-based systems.
• Serve as a technical authority across multiple internal and customer projects, contributing architectural patterns, best practices, and reusable frameworks.
• Enable observability, monitoring, drift detection, lineage tracking, and auditability across ML/LLM systems.
• Define and implement standards for model deployment, monitoring, governance, and automation to ensure production-grade reliability and scalability.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams — data engineering, platform, DevOps, and client stakeholders — to deliver production-ready ML solutions.
• Ensure all solutions adhere to security, governance, and compliance expectations, particularly around handling cloud services, Kubernetes workloads, and MLOps tools.
• Conduct architecture reviews, troubleshoot complex ML system issues, and guide teams through implementation across cloud-native ML platforms.
• Mentor engineers and provide guidance on modern MLOps tools, platform capabilities, and best practices.

• Experience working on Infrastructure as Code (IaC) tools and CI/CD pipelines.
• Experience with Kubernetes based development.
• Experience with feature engineering pipelines and Feature Store management.
• Understanding of lineage tracking: training data snapshot, feature versions, code versioning, metadata tracking, reproducibility.
• Hands-on experience with AWS Bedrock and Agentcore service.
• Experience with CloudWatch, SageMaker Model Monitor, Prometheus/Grafana.
• Strong foundation in Python and cloud-native development patterns.
• Solid understanding of security best practices, IAM, secrets management, and artifact governance.
