• Machine Learning Operations design, including:
• Previous successful experience in AI systems design, with the ability to architect and explain data pipelines, ML pipelines, and ML training and serving approaches.
• Experience with CI/CD solutions in the context of MLOps and LLMOps including automation with Infrastructure as Code (IaC) solutions (e.g. Ansible).
• Experience delivering technical presentations and leading business value sessions.
• Executive presence with public speaking skills.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Computer Science or similar degree.
• Previous experience as a sales engineer, technical sales, or similar role preferably at an enterprise software company, a SaaS company, or Systems Integrator.
