Remote

Our client seeks a Python-heavy MLOps engineer to own coding, debugging, and maintenance for a fast-evolving pilot ML Python application. The role focuses on backend Python and SQL in a lightly documented codebase, adjacent to machine learning without designing models. You will troubleshoot issues across code, data, and logic, implement business rule changes, and enhance logging to support downstream reporting. This work enables the senior data scientist to concentrate on model development while you drive stability and production-like support for the pilot.

Due to client requirements, applicants must be willing and able to work on a w2 basis. For our w2 consultants, we offer a great benefits package that includes Medical, Dental, and Vision benefits, 401k with company matching, and life insurance.

Rate: $65.00 to $75.00/hr. w2
