Job description

Machine Learning Engineer

Washington, DC (Hybrid)

About the Role:

We are seeking a highly skilled Machine Learning Engineer to join our core AI team. In this role, you will focus on deploying, maintaining, and monitoring the AI/ML systems that power our platform. You will work closely with data scientists, data engineers, and product teams to ensure scalable, reliable, and production-grade AI solutions. You’ll play a critical role in operationalizing large language models (LLMs) and other ML systems, ensuring they run efficiently, securely, and with robust monitoring in place.

Key Responsibilities:

• Design, implement, and maintain ML deployment pipelines for scalable production systems.
• Operationalize large language models (LLMs) and other AI/ML models, ensuring high availability and reliability.
• Build robust model monitoring, logging, and alerting systems to track performance and detect drift.
• Partner with data scientists to transition models from research/prototype into production-ready deployments.
• Develop CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows, integrating testing, validation, and automated deployment.
• Optimize runtime performance of ML models across cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) and distributed systems.
• Apply containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes) to enable reproducible, scalable systems.
• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to ensure ML systems align with platform goals and business requirements.

Qualifications:

• 5+ years of experience as a Machine Learning Engineer, MLOps Engineer, or similar role.
• Proven experience deploying and maintaining machine learning models in production at scale.
• Hands‑on experience with ML lifecycle tooling (MLflow, Kubeflow, SageMaker, Vertex AI, or similar).
• Strong proficiency in Python; familiarity with ML frameworks such as PyTorch or TensorFlow.
• Deep knowledge of containerization (Docker) and orchestration (Kubernetes) for production ML systems.
• Expertise with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP, Azure) for ML deployment and scaling.
• Strong understanding of MLOps best practices, monitoring, and automation.
• Excellent problem‑solving skills, with an emphasis on building reliable, scalable systems.
• Strong communication and collaboration skills across technical and non‑technical teams.
