Responsibilities
- Architect and build a production-grade MLOps platform on Snowflake using Snowpark, Snowflake ML, Model Registry, and Feature Store capabilities.
- Design and operationalize reusable ML pipelines for training, validation, deployment, inference, and monitoring.
- Build MLOps workflows aligned with Bronze, Silver, and Gold layers so model training and inference consistently consume trusted medallion data.
- Establish model lifecycle management standards, including versioning, approval workflows, promotion gates, rollback strategy, and model lineage.
- Partner with data scientists to productionize models quickly and safely, transforming experiments into reliable, scalable services.
- Implement model observability for performance, drift, bias, data quality, and service reliability with actionable alerting and SLOs.
- Automate retraining and refresh workflows using Snowflake Tasks, Dynamic Tables, and event-driven orchestration patterns.
- Partner with data engineering to ensure feature pipelines are reliable, reusable, and synchronized with medallion-layer evolution.
- Define and implement CI/CD for ML workflows, including code, data, models, and configuration, along with testing frameworks and release controls.
- Drive MLOps governance across security, compliance, auditability, reproducibility, and responsible AI practices.
- Lead platform maturation from MVP to enterprise scale, including documentation, developer enablement, and operational runbooks.
Required Qualifications
- 5+ years of experience in ML Engineering, MLOps, or related platform engineering roles.
- Strong Python and SQL expertise, with proven experience building production ML pipelines.
- Hands-on experience with Snowflake data and compute patterns; experience with Snowpark and Snowflake-native ML tooling is strongly preferred.
- Demonstrated experience with model deployment, versioning, monitoring, and lifecycle governance in production.
- Experience implementing CI/CD and testing strategies for ML systems.
- Solid understanding of feature engineering pipelines, training-serving consistency, and data quality controls.
- Experience with cloud infrastructure and services, with AWS preferred.
- Strong collaboration skills and the ability to work cross-functionally with data science, data engineering, and business stakeholders.
Preferred Qualifications
- Experience with Snowflake Model Registry, Snowflake Feature Store, and model observability within Snowflake.
- Experience designing ML systems on medallion or lakehouse-style data architectures.
- Experience with dbt or similar transformation frameworks.
- Familiarity with streaming or near-real-time inference patterns.
- Experience in high-volume operational domains such as logistics, fleet, route optimization, or environmental services.
- Prior experience building greenfield platforms and defining operating standards from the ground up.
