ABOUT THE ROLE
We are looking for an MLOps Engineer to deploy, scale, and monitor computer vision models in production on Azure, processing real-time image streams from thousands of edge cameras.
MUST HAVES
- You must be authorized to work for ANY employer in the US (e.g., Green card holders, TN visa holders, GC EAD, H4 EAD, U4U with EAD), as we are unable to sponsor or take over employment visa sponsorship at this time;
- 3+ years of professional experience in MLOps, DevOps, Data Engineering, Machine Learning, or Software Engineering.
- Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, or a related technical discipline (or equivalent practical experience).
- Must be based in Dallas, TX, or open to relocating to Dallas. Office attendance: 3 days/week.
- MLOps Core: Production model serving (Triton Inference Server, TorchServe, KServe, or Azure ML endpoints) behind REST/gRPC APIs, with end-to-end backend pipeline ownership. Exposure to tracking, model registry/versioning, drift detection, and production telemetry/monitoring.
- Computer Vision: Working exposure to CV/image data in production.
- Infrastructure & Cloud: Strong practical experience navigating cloud environments, strictly focused on Azure, specifically using AKS for deployment, Azure DevOps, and the Azure data stack, alongside managing/provisioning GPU compute resources.
- DevOps & Automation: Deep understanding of containerization (e.g., Docker and Kubernetes) and designing robust CI/CD pipelines for automated deployments.
- AI/ML Foundation: A solid conceptual understanding of AI/ML fundamentals to effectively communicate, troubleshoot, and collaborate with applied model developers.
- Upper-intermediate English level.
WHAT YOU WILL DO
- Resource & Cost Optimization: Lead GPU compute efficiency and infrastructure cost-reduction strategies by optimizing models to maximize camera throughput per GPU. Apply optimization techniques including quantization (FP16/INT8), pruning, TensorRT/ONNX conversion, dynamic batching, and GPU autoscaling on AKS.
- End-to-End Deployment: Own the complete lifecycle transition from AI/ML experimentation to reliable, high-performance production deployment.
- Infrastructure & Pipelines: Build, maintain, and scale robust ingestion and inference pipelines for high-volume image streams using Azure Data Factory, cloud storage, and automated CI/CD workflows.
- Edge & Cloud Deployment: Architect and manage large-scale cloud-based model inference environments, with secondary support for edge GPU deployment across specific edge use cases.
- System Stability & Monitoring: Implement robust production monitoring systems, build visibility dashboards, and set up data and concept drift detection to ensure ongoing model accuracy and system reliability.
- Model Lifecycle Management: Manage experiment tracking and model versioning to ensure full reproducibility and traceability of all models in production.
- Cross-Functional Collaboration: Partner closely with data scientists and AI researchers to translate experimental models into robust, production-ready solutions.
PERKS AND BENEFITS
- Professional growth: Mentorship, TechTalks, and personalized growth roadmaps.
- Competitive compensation: USD-based pay with education, fitness, and team activity budgets.
- Exciting projects: Modern solutions with Fortune 500 and top product companies.
- Flextime: Flexible schedule with remote and office options.
