AI/ML Platform Experience (Strongly Preferred)

• Experience deploying and managing AI/ML services in production

• Familiarity with model packaging, versioning, and artifact management

• Understanding of model lifecycle management and retraining workflows

• Experience monitoring inference performance, latency, and cost

• Exposure to AIOps tools and intelligent alerting systems

Additional Skills:

• Strong understanding of distributed systems reliability patterns

• Knowledge of security best practices in cloud-native environments

• Experience implementing high-availability and disaster recovery strategies

• Excellent problem-solving and root cause analysis skills
