Our client is seeking a Senior ML Platform Engineer to lead the design, implementation, and operational management of a next-generation enterprise machine learning platform. This role will be responsible for building a scalable, secure, and governed AWS SageMaker-based MLOps ecosystem that supports the complete machine learning lifecycle-from data ingestion and model training to deployment, monitoring, and optimization.
Key Responsibilities
Design, build, and support an enterprise AWS SageMaker platform across multiple environments.
Develop and maintain production-grade MLOps pipelines for model training, validation, deployment, monitoring, and rollback.
Configure and manage SageMaker Studio/Unified Studio, including domains, projects, user roles, and governance controls.
Implement Model Registry, model versioning, lineage tracking, and promotion workflows.
Build and support real-time and batch model serving solutions using SageMaker endpoints.
Establish MLflow experiment tracking and model lifecycle management processes.
Partner with security and infrastructure teams to implement IAM, SSO, cross-account access, and platform governance.
Monitor platform performance, availability, and observability using AWS-native and third-party tools.
Drive automation through Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, CDK, or CloudFormation).
Required Qualifications
10+ years of software engineering experience focused on cloud infrastructure, platform engineering, or machine learning platforms.
5+ years of hands-on AWS experience, including deep expertise with Amazon SageMaker.
3+ years of experience building and operating production MLOps pipelines.
Strong experience with SageMaker Studio Classic (Unified Studio experience highly preferred).
Experience with SageMaker Pipelines, Model Registry, Endpoints, and Feature Store.
Expertise with MLflow or comparable experiment tracking platforms.
Experience implementing IAM, SSO/SAML, execution roles, service roles, and cross-account access controls.
Strong knowledge of Snowflake integrations for machine learning workflows.
Experience with Kubernetes (EKS), containerized applications, and cloud-native architectures.
Solid understanding of AWS networking and security, including VPCs, private endpoints, security groups, and cross-account connectivity.
Preferred Qualifications
Experience implementing SageMaker Unified Studio environments.
Expertise with SageMaker Feature Store and feature management strategies.
Experience with SageMaker Model Monitor, drift detection, bias detection, and model performance monitoring.
AWS Certified Machine Learning - Specialty certification.
