Title: MLOps Engineer
Duration: 6 months+, possible extension
Rate: $80/hr+, depending on experience
Description
We are seeking a highly skilled MLOps Engineer to support the IRAS (Item Recognition as a Service) team, a core component of the ISEE (Intelligent Store Execution Engine) platform at Sam's Club.
This role is responsible for owning and evolving the end-to-end MLOps lifecycle, enabling scalable, production-grade machine learning systems that power computer vision, RFID integration, and real-time item recognition across store environments.
You will operate horizontally across multiple ML products and pipelines, ensuring reliability, scalability, and rapid iteration of ML-driven capabilities that support frictionless shopping experiences.
Key Responsibilities
MLOps Lifecycle Ownership
Own the full ML lifecycle: data ingestion, model training, validation, deployment, monitoring, and retraining
Build and maintain robust model pipelines for computer vision and IRAS-based item recognition system
Implement data and model monitoring (drift detection, performance degradation, alerting)
Refactor and productionize data science code into scalable, reusable service
Platform & Pipeline Engineering
Design and operate end-to-end ML pipelines (data → training → evaluation → deployment → feedback loops)
Enable model versioning, reproducibility, and governance at scale
Support real-time and batch inference systems tied to RFID + camera fusion pipelines [Sam's iSEE POC | PowerPoint]
CI/CD & DevOps for ML
Build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for ML workflows (model builds, testing, deployment)
Automate testing, validation, and release processes for ML models and data pipeline
Ensure high availability, rollback capability, and release governance
Cross-Product / Horizontal Support
Serve as a shared MLOps capability across multiple IRAS and ISEE initiative
Partner with Data Scientists, CV/ML Engineers, and Platform teams to accelerate model delivery and adoption
Standardize tools, frameworks, and best practices across team
Required Skills & Experience
Core Requirements (Must Have)
Proven experience owning MLOps lifecycle end-to-end in production environment
Strong Python engineering experience (building scalable services, pipelines)
Hands-on expertise with CI/CD pipelines for ML system
Experience supporting multiple ML products or platforms simultaneously
MLOps & ML Tooling
Deep knowledge of:
MLflow / Kubeflow (or similar orchestration frameworks)
Model versioning, experiment tracking, and pipeline orchestration
Data monitoring, drift detection, and model observability
Strong understanding of machine learning fundamentals and lifecycle management
Data & Cloud Ecosystem
Experience with:
GCP (preferred), Azure, or hybrid environment
Big Data ecosystems (Databricks, Spark, distributed processing)
SQL and large-scale data pipeline development
Familiarity with cloud-based ML infrastructure and scaling strategie
Engineering & System
Proficiency in:
Shell scripting and automation
Containerization and orchestration (Docker, Kubernetes)
Building reliable, scalable backend systems for ML inference
Preferred / Nice-to-Have
Experience with computer vision pipelines (CV/ML models, object detection, item recognition)
Exposure to RFID data integration or sensor fusion system
Experience working in retail, edge + cloud hybrid environments, or real-time inference system
Familiarity with GPU-based inference optimization and performance tuning
What Success Looks Like
Fully automated, production-grade ML pipelines supporting IRAS item recognition
Reduced latency and improved reliability of model deployment and inference workflow
Standardized MLOps practices across ISEE team
High-confidence, monitored models with continuous improvement loop
