• Version and manage prompts, retrieval indexes, and evaluation datasets alongside model artifacts

• Define rollback and canary release strategies for model endpoints

• Automate cost and latency reporting for inference workloads

• Partner with data science teams to make the production path the easy path

Required Skills

• 5+ years in MLOps, DevOps, or data engineering, including production model deployment

• Strong Python and hands on MLflow experience across tracking, projects, models, and registry

• CI/CD pipeline construction using GitHub Actions, Azure DevOps, GitLab, or equivalent
