MLOps Engineer (GCP)

We are looking for an experienced MLOps Engineer (GCP) to design, operationalize, deploy, monitor, and scale production-grade AI/ML solutions on Google Cloud Platform (GCP). In this role, you will build reliable, secure, and automated end-to-end machine learning platforms and pipelines while enabling seamless collaboration between Data Scientists, AI Engineers, Platform Teams, and Operations teams.

You will play a key role in ensuring machine learning models are consistently trained, versioned, deployed, monitored, and governed across their lifecycle using GCP-native technologies, particularly Vertex AI.

Key Responsibilities

• Design and implement scalable end-to-end MLOps architectures using GCP-native services.
• Build standardized frameworks for model training, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and governance.
• Deploy and manage ML models using Vertex AI Endpoints for online and batch inference.
• Implement model versioning, rollout/rollback strategies, and traffic splitting for production deployments.
• Build and automate CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows and model deployment.
• Develop automated ML pipelines using Vertex AI Pipelines and ensure reproducibility across environments (development, testing, and production).
• Integrate source control, testing frameworks, and artifact repositories into ML workflows.
• Monitor model performance, model drift, data quality, and system reliability.
• Implement observability, logging, alerting mechanisms, and service-level objectives (SLOs) for ML systems.
• Define retraining triggers and support incident analysis and remediation of production ML services.
• Ensure scalability, security, compliance, and alignment with enterprise cloud architecture standards.
• Collaborate closely with Data Scientists, AI Engineers, Data Engineers, Platform Teams, and business stakeholders.
