About the role

Leadership role leading the MLOps function within Fundamental, focusing on building scalable ML infrastructure, pipelines, and deployment practices to support research and production needs.

Responsibilities

  • Lead and mentor a team of MLOps engineers, fostering technical growth and a culture of operational excellence
  • Define and drive the MLOps roadmap, aligning infrastructure capabilities with Research, Engineering and product objectives
  • Establish best practices, standards, and processes for ML infrastructure, deployment, and operations
  • Own technical decision-making for ML infrastructure architecture and tooling choices
  • Architect and oversee scalable, automated machine learning pipelines, CI/CD workflows, and orchestration frameworks
  • Partner with the model-serving team on serving infrastructure strategy (Triton, TorchServe, TensorFlow Serving, KServe), ensuring training-side decisions (checkpoint formats, export pipelines, resource footprint) don't create friction downstream
  • Collaborate on inference architecture strategy, bringing training-side context on model size, latency/throughput tradeoffs, and hardware requirements into early research decisions
  • Design and maintain feature stores, robust data pipelines, and scalable storage solutions to efficiently handle large volumes of data
  • Collaborate with research teams to bridge the gap between experimentation and production
  • Define logging, alerting, and monitoring strategy to track model performance, drift, and system reliability

Qualifications

  • Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related field (or equivalent practical experience)
  • 7+ years of experience in MLOps, with 5+ years in a technical leadership role
  • Strong software engineering skills in Python, with experience in Bash and/or Go
  • Proven track record of building and leading high-performing MLOps or infrastructure teams
  • Experience building and designing MLOps infrastructure from the ground up
  • Deep experience with MLOps platforms (MLflow, WandB, etc.) and frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow, etc.)
  • Deep experience with model serving frameworks (Triton, TorchServe, TensorFlow Serving, KServe) for high scalability and low latency inference
  • Experience building and managing data pipelines to support both model training and inference
  • Good experience with Kubernetes on a major cloud provider (AWS, GCP, or Azure) and with infrastructure as code (Terraform, Helm, GitOps)
  • Proficient with observability and monitoring tools (Prometheus, Grafana, Datadog, OpenTelemetry)
  • Excellent communication skills with ability to translate between research and production contexts
