# Senior ML Engineer (MLOps)

> Makro PRO · Nawamin Road, Thailand · Full-time · Posted 2026-07-02

**Workplace:** on_site

**Department:** Technology

## Description

The Senior ML Engineer (MLOps) owns the transition from ad-hoc ML deployments to a registered, monitored, governed ML platform — the lifecycle every data scientist and ML practitioner across the company uses. The role also curates a wrapper layer over open-source classical ML libraries (forecasting, causal, recommender, tabular) so retail algorithms ship on company-standard adapters rather than per-team reinventions. 

### **Key Responsibilities:**

-   Define and document the end-to-end MLOps lifecycle (experiment → train → register → approve → deploy → monitor → retrain) and enforce it via CI/CD gates.
-   Stand up and operate the Model Registry (MLflow / Databricks Unity Catalog Models) as the single source of truth; ensure 100% of production models are registered, versioned, and tagged with model cards.
-   Implement data drift, prediction drift, and performance-degradation monitoring with appropriate alerting and retraining triggers.
-   Lead build / buy evaluation for a Feature Store; deploy a POC and eliminate train / serve skew end-to-end.
-   Audit existing production ML models; register, document, and migrate each into the standard lifecycle; retire or consolidate models that cannot be justified.
-   Curate and own a company-standard wrapper layer over open-source classical ML libraries (Prophet, statsmodels, DoWhy / EconML, LightFM, scikit-learn, XGBoost, LightGBM) with standard interfaces, lineage hooks, eval-harness integration, and CI/CD templates.
-   Partner with Data Governance on the model-governance gate in the deployment pipeline; support audit and compliance evidence.
-   Mentor data scientists on engineering discipline (reproducibility, lineage, rollback) and lead incident response for degraded production models.

## Requirements

-   Bachelor's or Master's degree in Computer Science, Statistics, Applied Mathematics, or a related discipline.
-   5+ years building and operating ML systems in production (not only notebooks).
-   Deep MLOps experience: model registry, experiment tracking, CI/CD for training and serving, versioning, approval gates.
-   Built or operated drift detection for data and predictions in production; understands the difference and the right alert thresholds.
-   Strong Python and Spark / PySpark; SQL fluency; cloud and Databricks (or equivalent lakehouse) production experience.
-   Comfortable designing train / serve parity patterns and feature pipelines.
-   Experience with at least one major MLOps stack (MLflow, Kubeflow, Vertex AI, SageMaker).
-   Can write runbooks, lead incident response, and translate business KPIs into model SLOs.

**Preferred Qualifications**

-   Feature store production experience (Databricks Feature Store, Feast, Tecton).
-   Retail ML use cases — demand forecasting, pricing optimisation, assortment, recommender, churn, uplift modelling.
-   Causal inference and experimentation (A/B, switchback, geo-experiments) using DoWhy or EconML.
-   Vendor or industry certifications such as Databricks Machine Learning Professional or Azure AI Engineer Associate.
