Role Overview


As an AI/ML Platform Engineer, you will design, build, and scale cloud-native infrastructure that powers cutting-edge NLP and AI products. You’ll work across platform engineering, data orchestration, and model integration — enabling seamless deployment of large language models and related NLP capabilities within a robust AWS environment. This role blends deep software engineering expertise with hands-on machine learning operations, helping to shape the foundation of our next-generation AI platform.


Key Responsibilities


  • Design, build, and maintain scalable AWS-based platforms to support AI/ML and NLP workloads.
  • Translate product requirements into actionable technical roadmaps and engineering deliverables.
  • Integrate and deploy large language models (LLMs) and other NLP solutions into distributed cloud systems.
  • Develop and manage data pipelines and model orchestration frameworks for large-scale data processing.
  • Implement and improve CI/CD, observability, and automation for ML pipelines and cloud deployments.
  • Collaborate with product and research teams to operationalize NLP models and extract structured insights from unstructured data.
  • Ensure scalability, reliability, and security across all components of the AI/ML platform.


Qualifications


  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Data Science, or a related field.
  • 4+ years of experience building cloud-native, data-driven systems, ideally in production environments.
  • Proven ability to architect and operate AWS infrastructure (e.g., ECS, Fargate, Lambda, S3, SageMaker).
  • Strong foundation in Python software engineering, including testing, packaging, and database integration.
  • Proficient in Linux-based development, Docker, Git, and modern CI/CD workflows.
  • Experience working in Agile development environments and collaborating with cross-functional teams.


Preferred Skills


  • Practical experience with large language models and NLP techniques (entity extraction, text classification, knowledge graphs).
  • Familiarity with data science libraries (NumPy, pandas, scikit-learn) and deep learning frameworks (PyTorch, TensorFlow).
  • Experience using orchestration and ML platforms such as Airflow, Prefect, Kubeflow, or SageMaker Pipelines.
  • Background in data engineering — preparing and transforming structured and unstructured data for ML model use.
