Senior Machine Learning Ops Engineer

Data Scientists at Prove work on Proof of Concepts (POCs) with Sales, Customer Success (CS) related projects with Customer Support Team and Research & Development (R&D) with Product and Engineering. This position of MLOps Engineer can be viewed as a person responsible for expanding and optimizing our data and machine learning pipeline architecture.  Full-scale data science products need to be deployed and this role demands a person who has experience with software/DevOps/Data Engineering. 

Primarily this position involves using engineering skills to build a production grade self-service analytics framework that provides Data Science more autonomy and control.  Data Scientists can then use the framework for all prototyping work or to deploy models into production in swift fashion with a low overall cycle time. This position requires the ability to create a platform that can score a single transaction in real time, while working within production constraints & considerations.

The incumbent develops best practices, policies, procedures and governance of ML models in production, model lifecycle management, and associated data engineering processes designed to deploy ML and AI models efficiently and reliably in production in cloud-based and on-premises environments. Other responsibilities include increasing the maturity of existing ML pipelines by standardizing the data science development lifecycle, identifying and enforcing standards for model experimentation, model validation and testing. Duties will include evaluation of new ML cloud tools and data science methods available on AWS/GCP, and their selection and introduction to the wider organization, education and onboarding of Data Science teams to new technologies. Finally this position will help with any automation needed to refine the Data Science analytics pipeline. 

Key Responsibilities:

• Build and Support a self-service framework using tools like Tensorflow or Pytorch or other relevant ones
• Ensure the framework is production grade with low latency, and has 24/7 monitoring, observability, logging, error handling, scalability, etc. 
• Help Data Scientists with deploying models or algorithms that power Prove’s products
• Optimize the secured cloud platform for our global data analytic needs
• Implementing ML models and algorithms in production-quality code
• Supporting cross-functional efforts to analyze, automate, and optimize system performance
• Hands-on coding, systems analysis, code reviews, design, and delivery of projects
• Helping in automation of existing Data Science process pipelines 
• Integrate with External Vendors API which are being test by Data Scientists for possible lift
• Writing well designed, testable, efficient code that meets coding standards
• Delivering new features, executing on the roadmap and planning for the future
• Providing thought leadership on industry best practices around ML model development, design, testing, security, and software development
• Exercising creative thinking and imagination to find solutions to hard problems

Qualifications and Experience:

• 5-8 years of DevOps experience, preferably in a fast-paced environment
• 3+ years of experience building/maintaining Docker/Kubernetes infrastructure
• Strong programming skills in Python/Go/Java
• Preferably 2-3 years of ML or ML Ops experience in a production environment or equivalent Master’s degree in related field
• Knowledge of Tensorflow or Pytorch or similar library tools
• Background in machine learning theory and/or signal processing techniques is a plus 
• Experience building tools for ML scientists or experience building auto-scaling ML systems
• 3+ years of experience with cloud: AWS or Google Cloud Platform (GCP) or Azure
• Strong software development principles, including scalable software and architectural design patterns
• Experience with database (SQL and NoSQL) systems such as BigQuery, Postgres, MongoDB
• Promote, maintain and enhance our cultural values of humility, passion, inclusion, and leadership.
• Strong passion for learning about our products and markets through in-house and external training.
• Experience in high-growth /pre-IPO Technology companies
