Job summary

Merkle in Gurugram seeks an AI DevOps Engineer at the intersection of production AI/ML infrastructure and creative technology. You will own deployment, scaling, and reliability of generative AI systems across Azure, GCP, and AWS, and you will collaborate with designers to plug AI into production pipelines.

You will design CI/CD/MLOps pipelines, deploy RAG systems, multi-agent frameworks, and multimodal vision capabilities, while championing reliability, security, and cost efficiency.

Qualifications

• Experience shipping production AI/ML infrastructure.
• Deploy across Azure, GCP, AWS (two or more).
• Proficient with containerization and IaC.

Responsibilities

• Design, build, and operate CI/CD and MLOps pipelines for deploying AI models across Azure, GCP, and AWS.
• Deploy and scale RAG systems—embeddings, vector databases, retrieval and re-ranking.
• Stand up multi-agent orchestration frameworks in production with integration and observability.
• Integrate vision capabilities and CV model inference into production.
• Own IaC, containers, orchestration (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes) and GPU-backed serving.
• Build monitoring, logging, cost tracking, and performance optimization for GenAI workloads.
• Collaborate with creative teams to embed AI into production pipelines using After Effects & Figma.
• Ensure reliability, security, and reproducibility across the AI stack.

Job description

Job Description

The purpose of this role is to deliver analysis inline with client business objectives, goals, and to maintain, develop and exceed client performancetargets.

About the Role

We're looking for an AI DevOps Engineer who lives at the intersection of production AI/ML infrastructure and creative technology. You'll own the deployment, scaling, and reliability of our generative AI systems — RAG pipelines, multi-agent workflows, multimodal and vision models — across all three major clouds. Just as importantly, you understand the creative side: you can plug AI into real production pipelines built on tools like After Effects and Figma, and you speak the language of designers, animators, and media teams.

This is a builder role for someone who's equally comfortable writing Terraform and reasoning about a vector retrieval pipeline, and who gets genuinely excited when AI infrastructure ships something creative into the world.

What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and operate CI/CD and MLOps/LLMOps pipelines for deploying AI models and services across Azure, GCP, and AWS.
• Deploy and scale RAG systems end to end — embeddings, vector databases, retrieval and re-ranking pipelines, and evaluation.
• Stand up and operate multi-agent orchestration frameworks (e.g. LangGraph, CrewAI, AutoGen, or similar) in production, including tool integration, state management, and observability.
• Integrate and serve multimodal, vision, and computer vision capabilities — vision APIs, image/video understanding, and CV model inference.
• Own infrastructure-as-code, containerization, and orchestration (Terraform, Docker, Kubernetes) and GPU-backed model serving.
• Build monitoring, logging, cost tracking, and performance optimization for GenAI and LLM workloads.
• Partner with creative and design teams to embed AI into creative production pipelines — automating and extending workflows in tools like Adobe After Effects and Figma.
• Champion reliability, security, and reproducibility across the AI stack.

Required Qualifications

• 4–7 years of experience in DevOps / LLMOps / Platform Engineering with an GENAI & ML focus, including a track record of shipping systems to production.
• Hands-on deployment experience across at least two of Azure, GCP, and AWS (all three strongly preferred).
• Strong with Docker, Kubernetes, and Terraform (or equivalent IaC).
• Practical experience building RAG pipelines and working with vector databases and embeddings.
• Experience with multi-agent orchestration and modern LLM / agent frameworks.
• Familiarity with vision APIs and computer vision — integrating and serving vision or multimodal models.
• Strong scripting and automation skills in Python (plus comfort with shell / another language).
• CI/CD, observability, and infrastructure cost-management fundamentals.

Good to Have

• Background in media, creative AI, animation, or design production.
• Hands-on with Adobe After Effects (AFx) and Figma — including scripting, plugins, or workflow automation.
• Experience with generative media models (image, video, audio, or 3D generation).
• Understanding of creative production pipelines and how to integrate AI into them.
• Exposure to fine-tuning, model evaluation, or prompt engineering at scale.

What Success Looks Like

In your first few months, you'll have deployed at least one GenAI service to production across our cloud environment, made it observable and cost-efficient, and worked directly with a creative team to ship an AI-powered feature into their workflow.
