• GenAI initiatives for Advanced D&A Americas.

MAJOR / KEY ACCOUNTABILITIES

• Build, maintain, and optimize end to end ML pipelines covering data ingestion, feature engineering, training, evaluation, deployment, inference and monitoring using Databricks and related tooling.

• Collaborate closely with Data Scientists to translate experimental and research grade models into reliable, scalable, and secure production services that meet business and technical requirements.

• Apply MLOps best practices including model versioning, experiment tracking, monitoring, and automated deployments.

• Develop and deploy traditional ML models (e.g., regression, classification, forecasting, NLP) to solve business problems.

• Implement runtime monitoring dashboards and alerting mechanisms to detect performance degradation, data anomalies, and system failures in near real time.

• Support AI / GenAI initiatives, including LLM based prototypes and production workflows where applicable.

• Collaborate with product owners, data scientists, engineers, and business stakeholders to define model requirements, SLAs, success metrics, and deployment constraints.

• Integrate ML solutions into downstream systems via APIs, batch pipelines, or event driven processes.

• Write high quality, maintainable code following engineering best practices, with version control and CI/CD in Bitbucket.

• Troubleshoot and optimize model performance, scalability, latency, and cost in production environments.

• Provide guidance and best practices to data scientists and engineers on production ready ML development and MLOps workflows.

• Evaluate emerging tools, frameworks, and practices to enhance the organization’s ML and GenAI operational maturity.

MEASURES

• ML models are reliable, scalable, and observable in production environments

• Reduced time and friction moving from experimentation to production ML systems

• High availability and reliability of ML pipelines and inference services

• Strong collaboration with Data and cross functional teams resulting in business impacting ML solutions

• Clear observability into model performance, data quality, and system health

• Adoption of standardized patterns for ML development and deployment across the team

KEY CONTACTS
