• Networking and security — VPC, security groups, private endpoints, cross-account connectivity.

Responsibilities

• Set up SageMaker Unified Studio platform — domain configuration, project provisioning, persona-based roles, and multi-environment promotion workflows.
• Build MLOps pipelines using SageMaker Pipelines — data extraction from Snowflake, preprocessing, training, evaluation, and model registration.
• Manage SageMaker Model Registry — cross-account model promotion, versioning, immutability, and lineage tracking.
• Configure MLflow experiment tracking — auto-logging of parameters, metrics, and artifacts.
• Set up identity and access management — Okta SSO, SailPoint entitlements, persona-based execution roles, service roles for pipelines.
• Build model serving — real-time SageMaker endpoints and batch prediction workflows.
• Set up model monitoring — data drift, model drift, performance degradation detection.
• Configure data catalog — searchable datasets, access-level visibility, access-request workflows, lineage.
• Own platform operations — observability (CloudWatch, Datadog), logging, custom images, instance availability.
