What is in it for you?

The MLOps Engineer (Google Cloud Platform Specialization) is responsible for designing, implementing, and maintaining infrastructure and processes on Google Cloud Platform (Google Cloud Platform) to enable the seamless development, deployment, and monitoring of machine learning models at scale. This role bridges data science and data engineering, Infrastructure, ensuring that machine learning systems are reliable, scalable, and optimized for Google Cloud Platform environments.

Responsibilities: -

• Model Deployment: Design and implement pipelines for deploying machine learning models into production using Google Cloud Platform services such as AI Platform, Vertex AI, or Cloud Run, Cloud Composer ensuring high availability and performance.
• Infrastructure Management: Build and maintain scalable Google Cloud Platform-based infrastructure using services like Google Compute Engine, Google Kubernetes Engine (GKE), and Cloud Storage to support model training, deployment, and inference.
• Automation: Develop automated workflows for data ingestion, model training, validation, and deployment using Google Cloud Platform tools like Cloud Composer, and CI/CD pipelines integrated with GitLab and Bitbucket Repositories.
• Monitoring and Maintenance: Implement monitoring solutions using Google Cloud Monitoring and Logging to track model performance, data drift, and system health, and take corrective actions as needed.
• Collaboration: Work closely with data scientists, Data engineers, Infrastructure and DevOps teams to streamline the ML lifecycle and ensure alignment with business objectives.
• Versioning and Reproducibility: Manage versioning of datasets, models, and code using Google Cloud Platform tools like Artifact Registry or Cloud Storage to ensure reproducibility and traceability of machine learning experiments.
• Optimization: Optimize model performance and resource utilization on Google Cloud Platform, leveraging containerization with Docker and GKE, and utilizing cost-efficient resources like preemptible VMs or Cloud TPU/GPU.
• Security and Compliance: Ensure ML systems comply with data privacy regulations (e.g., GDPR, CCPA) using Google Cloud Platform's security tools like Cloud IAM, VPC Service Controls, and Data Loss Prevention (DLP).
• Tooling: Integrate Google Cloud Platform-native tools (e.g., Vertex AI, Cloud composer) and open-source MLOps frameworks (e.g., MLflow, Kubeflow) to support the ML lifecycle.
• Enable successful project delivery and customer satisfaction.
• Drive project and technology goals in compliance with organizational objectives.
