JobType: full-time

As the Machine Learning Operations Manager, you will oversee the end-to-end ML lifecycle — from model training and deployment to monitoring and optimization. You will lead a small, high-performing team of engineers while remaining hands-on in building scalable, reliable, and efficient ML infrastructure. This role combines strategic leadership with deep technical expertise to ensure smooth collaboration between research, engineering, and operations teams.

Requirements

Key Responsibilities

• End-to-End ML Lifecycle: Manage training infrastructure, experiment tracking, deployment, and continuous optimization.
• Collaboration with Researchers: Partner with research teams to streamline training, evaluation, and fine-tuning workflows.
• Team Leadership: Mentor and guide a small team of ML engineers (3–4) while contributing as an individual contributor.
• Performance Optimization: Improve latency, throughput, and cost efficiency; ensure robust packaging and runtime reliability.
• Automation & Reliability: Develop systems for CI/CD, versioning, rollback, A/B testing, monitoring, and alerting.
