Job Description

We are seeking an AI Sr. Engineer focused on LLMOps & MLOps to join our Transformation Office. The ideal candidate will have strong experience in multi-cloud AI/ML operations across AWS and Azure and a proven ability to build automated, secure, and scalable production infrastructure for LLM applications, RAG pipelines, and traditional ML models.

Responsibilities:

• Build and maintain automated CI/CD and Continuous Training pipelines across AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock) and Azure (AI Studio).
• Design and implement LLMOps frameworks for Retrieval-Augmented Generation, including vector database management (OpenSearch, Pinecone, Azure AI Search) and semantic index optimization.
• Create secure data ingestion and connectivity from legacy systems (Mainframes, SQL Server, on-prem databases) into cloud-native MLOps workflows.
• Implement automated model evaluation for LLMs and ML, including LLM-as-a-judge, ROUGE, and METEOR, to validate performance pre-deployment.
• Deploy observability and monitoring for model drift, hallucination detection, latency, and token consumption to manage quality and cost.
• Manage Infrastructure as Code with Terraform or CloudFormation to ensure reproducible, secure, and privacy-first cloud environments.
• Integrate with advanced analytics platforms such as Palantir, Databricks, or Snowflake for reliable data flow between analytical ontologies and production models.
• Partner with IT and Security to navigate IAM roles, VPC peering, and firewall configurations to enable rapid transformation.
• Engineer scalable inference using containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and serverless architectures for high-throughput and low-latency serving.
• Establish prompt and model versioning (PromptOps), model weight tracking, and data snapshotting for auditability and rollback.
• Support data science by automating feature stores, feature engineering pipelines, and productionizing notebooks into reliable microservices.
• Implement security and compliance guardrails, including automated scanning and content safety to mitigate prompt injection and data leakage.

Required Skills & Qualifications:

• Proficiency in AWS (SageMaker, Bedrock) and Azure (AI Studio) services for ML and LLM workloads.
• Hands-on experience with CI/CD and CT pipelines for ML, including orchestration and automation.
• Expertise with vector databases and RAG patterns, including OpenSearch, Pinecone, or Azure AI Search.
• Strong skills in Infrastructure as Code using Terraform or CloudFormation and configuration management.
• Experience building secure data pipelines from legacy systems to cloud platforms, including SQL Server and mainframe sources.
• Knowledge of LLM and ML evaluation methodologies such as LLM-as-a-judge, ROUGE, and METEOR.
• Competence with observability stacks for ML/LLM monitoring, drift detection, latency, and cost metrics.
• Containerization and orchestration experience with Docker and Kubernetes, plus serverless inference patterns.
• Familiarity with data platforms such as Palantir, Databricks, or Snowflake for production data integration.
• Understanding of IAM, networking, and security controls, including VPC peering and firewall policies.
• Experience with prompt and model version control and reproducible ML workflows.
• Experience level: Senior engineer with demonstrated ownership of production AI/ML systems.

Preferred Skills:

• Experience with feature stores and automated feature engineering pipelines.
• Experience implementing content safety and guardrails (e.g., Bedrock Guardrails, Azure Content Safety).
