Job Description

As a Senior Platform Engineer (AI/ML), you will be responsible for designing and building the internal platforms, tools, and automation that power the AI/ML development lifecycle. This role focuses on reducing bottlenecks, eliminating manual effort, and enabling Data Science and ML teams to experiment, iterate, and deliver features efficiently. You will create scalable, secure, and cost-effective infrastructure that supports data ingestion, model training, deployment, and monitoring across cloud and on-prem environments.

Responsibilities

Design and maintain AI/ML platform infrastructure, including compute clusters (CPU/GPU), storage systems, and networking for high-performance workloads.

Develop internal tools and automation to streamline workflows across data preparation, model training, evaluation, and deployment.

Implement Infrastructure as Code (IaC) for reproducible environments and automated provisioning (Terraform, CloudFormation).

Build and manage Kubernetes clusters and container orchestration for ML services and pipelines.

Integrate observability and monitoring for platform health, resource utilization, and ML workloads.

Optimize cost and performance for compute-intensive ML tasks, including GPU scheduling and autoscaling.

Collaborate with MLOps Engineers to enable CI/CD pipelines for ML models and data workflows.

Ensure platform security and compliance, including IAM, secrets management, and network policies.

Support feature stores, model registries, and experiment tracking systems to accelerate ML development.

Drive innovation by introducing new tools and frameworks that improve productivity and reduce time-to-market for AI solutions.
