## Description

**This role is for one of the Weekday's clients**

Min Experience: 5+ years

Location: Bengaluru

JobType: full-time

We are looking for a **Machine Learning Engineer** to build and operate the production infrastructure that transforms machine learning research into scalable, reliable, and low-latency AI services. You will partner closely with Applied Science, Product, and Platform Engineering teams to operationalize machine learning models, LLM-powered applications, and agentic workflows that power real-world enterprise products.

This role focuses on building production-ready ML systems, developing MLOps infrastructure, and ensuring AI services are secure, observable, cost-efficient, and highly available. You'll play a key role in enabling both traditional machine learning models and modern generative AI applications to move seamlessly from experimentation into production.

-   Deploy and optimize models across various domains including predictive analytics, recommendation systems, forecasting, NLP, and generative AI.
-   Refactor, containerize, version, deploy, and continuously monitor machine learning models for production readiness.
-   Collaborate with Applied Science teams to improve model performance, scalability, and operational efficiency.

### **LLM & Agentic AI Infrastructure**

-   Integrate AI applications with enterprise LLM gateways, model routing systems, and prompt management frameworks.
-   Support retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector search, and knowledge retrieval architectures.
-   Build and maintain agentic AI workflows, orchestration frameworks, and safe execution patterns.
-   Implement prompt versioning, experimentation, A/B testing, dynamic orchestration, and AI safety guardrails.

### **MLOps & Platform Engineering**

-   Design and maintain CI/CD pipelines for machine learning models and AI services.
-   Build batch and streaming data pipelines using modern orchestration and distributed processing frameworks.
-   Develop online feature pipelines, feature stores, model registries, and experiment tracking infrastructure.
-   Automate model lifecycle management, deployment workflows, rollback strategies, and continuous delivery.

### **Microservices & Distributed Systems**

-   Develop high-performance inference services using REST and gRPC APIs.
-   Build scalable microservices supporting low-latency online predictions.
-   Implement schema versioning, structured outputs, and API reliability standards.
-   Optimize service performance to consistently meet stringent latency and availability targets.

### **Monitoring, Reliability & Observability**

-   Implement comprehensive monitoring across AI systems, including traces, logs, metrics, model performance, and infrastructure health.
-   Detect model drift, data quality issues, feature degradation, and operational anomalies.
-   Design resilient systems with autoscaling, caching, retries, circuit breakers, fallback mechanisms, and graceful degradation.
-   Track infrastructure utilization, latency, cost, and AI service quality through production dashboards.

### **Developer Experience & Enablement**

-   Create reusable SDKs, templates, command-line tools, and deployment frameworks.
-   Build sandbox environments and documentation that simplify AI application development.
-   Collaborate with engineering teams to establish best practices for production ML, MLOps, and AI engineering.
-   Mentor engineers and contribute to improving platform standards and development workflows.

### **Required Qualifications**

-   5–11+ years of experience in Machine Learning Engineering, MLOps, Platform Engineering, or Backend Engineering supporting production ML systems.
-   Strong software engineering skills with expertise in **Python** and at least one of **Java, Go, or Scala**.
-   Solid understanding of distributed systems, concurrency, API design, testing, and scalable software architecture.
-   Experience deploying and operating production machine learning services.
-   Hands-on experience with orchestration frameworks and LLM tooling such as LangChain, LlamaIndex, OpenAI Function Calling, Agent frameworks, or similar technologies.
-   Knowledge of retrieval-augmented generation (RAG), vector databases, knowledge graphs, and AI agent architectures.
-   Experience building data pipelines using Airflow, Kubeflow, Spark, Flink, Kafka, or similar technologies.
-   Strong experience with Docker, Kubernetes, microservices, REST APIs, and gRPC services.
-   Familiarity with experiment tracking, model registries, feature stores, drift detection, A/B testing, and shadow deployments.
-   Experience implementing observability using tools such as OpenTelemetry, Prometheus, Grafana, or similar monitoring platforms.
-   Experience deploying cloud-native applications on AWS or comparable cloud environments.
-   Understanding of security best practices including RBAC, secrets management, audit logging, and PII protection.

### **Preferred Qualifications**

-   Experience building enterprise AI platforms or large-scale MLOps infrastructure.
-   Knowledge of vector databases, retrieval systems, and knowledge graph technologies.
-   Experience supporting LLM-powered applications, AI agents, and autonomous workflows.
-   Familiarity with cloud cost optimization and multi-tenant SaaS architectures.
-   Strong understanding of production reliability engineering and distributed system design.

### **Ideal Candidate Profile**
