About the Role
The AI Platform & ML Engineering role focuses on platform patterns, MLOps practices, model lifecycle, deployment standards, monitoring, evaluation, and governance integration to move AI and machine learning solutions beyond experimentation. This is a hands-on engineering role to build the foundation for repeatable, governed, observable, and production-ready AI solutions.
Responsibilities
- Build reusable AI and ML engineering patterns to help teams move from proof-of-value to production safely and consistently.
- Establish practical MLOps and LLMOps practices using Databricks, AWS, MLflow, and related platform capabilities.
- Create standards and templates for model deployment, serving, monitoring, evaluation, and production release.
- Support API integration and deployment patterns for ML, GenAI, and agentic solutions.
- Partner with Data Engineering & Data Management to define feature engineering data product and reusable pipeline patterns for AI/ML use cases.
- Help define how models, prompts, agents, data products, and AI outputs are versioned, tracked, monitored, and governed.
- Partner with Data & AI Governance to embed responsible AI, lineage, access control, auditability, and risk controls into production workflows.
- Help monitor AI cost, performance, reliability, usage, and operational risk, while contributing to reusable standards and community learning.
Requirements
- Bachelor's or Master's Degree in Computer Science, Software Engineering, Data Engineering, Data Science, Artificial Intelligence, Machine Learning, Mathematics, Statistics, Engineering, or related technical field.
- Equivalent hands-on experience building data, AI, machine learning, platform, or cloud engineering solutions may be considered in place of formal education.
- 10+ years of overall experience.
- 4+ years of experience building, deploying, or supporting machine learning, AI, or data-driven solutions in production environments.
- 5 to 7 years working in the data space.
- Databricks certification related to Machine Learning, Data Engineering, Generative AI, or platform administration.
- AWS certifications related to cloud architecture, machine learning, AI, DevOps, data engineering, or security.
- Microsoft Azure certifications related to AI, data, cloud engineering, DevOps, or security.
- Other relevant certifications in MLOps, LLMOps, cloud platforms, DevOps, security, architecture, or enterprise AI platforms.
- Strong Python development skills, especially for ML engineering, automation, APIs, testing, and production implementation.
- Hands-on experience with cloud-based AI/ML platforms; experience with AWS an asset, Databricks, Azure, MLflow, or Lakehouse platforms.
- Strong understanding of MLOps, CI/CD/CT, model deployment, model serving, and production release practices for AI and ML solutions.
- Experience with model evaluation, validation, monitoring, and observability, including model performance, drift, reliability, latency, usage, and cost.
- Familiarity with LLMOps practices that support GenAI and agentic solutions in production, including prompt/model versioning, evaluation pipelines, controlled releases, and production support patterns.
- Experience developing reusable AI/ML platform patterns, including deployment templates, secure serving patterns, feature engineering standards, and integration frameworks.
- Understanding of enterprise security, governance, and control requirements for production AI and ML workloads.
- Strong consultative and communication skills, with the ability to explain technical trade-offs to data, technology, risk, governance, and business stakeholders.
- Fluent communication skills in English are required.
- Bilingual skills in French are an asset.
