In this role, you will:

• Design, implement, and maintain end-to-end Machine Learning pipelines (data ingestion, training, validation, deployment, and monitoring).
• Operationalize AI/ML models, including LLM-based solutions, within the Azure ecosystem and corporate platforms. Azure cloud experience mandatory.
• Apply best practices for version control, CI/CD, automated testing, and model lifecycle governance.
• Manage infrastructure for model execution (containers, APIs, microservices, orchestration, autoscaling).
• Define and enforce standards for reproducibility, traceability, and model observability.
• Automate key steps of the ML lifecycle to accelerate robust and scalable model releases.
• Implement AIOps practices to monitor models and systems in production, including performance, drift, cost efficiency, and anomaly detection.
• Build and configure alerts, dashboards, and monitoring tools in partnership with IT and Data Management, DevOps.
• Manage the operational lifecycle of Machine Learning and generative models (LLMs), including fine-tuning, evaluation, RAG pipelines, and quality monitoring.
• Ensure compliance with internal policies on data governance and models, security, risk, privacy, and regulatory standards

To be successful in this role, you need:

• Academic background in Engineering, Computer Science, Information Systems, STEM, or related fields.
