• Implement monitoring and observability across:
• Model performance and drift
• Application performance and platform health
• Infrastructure and operational metrics

Performance & Cost Optimisation

• Optimise cloud infrastructure utilisation and spend for ML workloads.
• Implement efficient compute and scaling strategies across training and inference environments.
• Drive FinOps practices, cost visibility, and resource right-sizing.
• Improve platform performance, reliability, throughput, and latency.

Required Skills & Experience

• 8+ years' experience in Software Engineering, Platform Engineering, DevOps, or MLOps.
• 5+ years' experience building and operating production MLOps platforms.
• Strong hands‑on experience with Azure-based MLOps architectures and AKS.
