  • Transition AI/ML models from prototypes into scalable, production-ready systems.
  • Build, deploy, and maintain CI/CD pipelines for ML models, ensuring reproducibility, scalability, and reliability.
  • Design and implement cloud-based infrastructure (AWS, Azure, or equivalent) for training, inference, and monitoring of AI models.
  • Automate repetitive ML lifecycle tasks to improve efficiency, consistency, and reliability in retraining and deployment workflows.
  • Integrate large language models (LLMs), generative AI, and NLP solutions into IMO Health’s Clinical AI products, focusing on unstructured clinical data.
  • Develop scalable inference pipelines and APIs to deliver AI capabilities to customer-facing solutions.
  • Apply containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and Infrastructure-as-Code to manage production environments.
  • Implement monitoring, alerting, and performance dashboards to ensure model quality, detect drift, and maintain operational SLAs.
  • Optimize deployed models for latency, throughput, reliability, and cost efficiency.
  • Participate in system design and architecture discussions, providing expertise in MLOps and AI deployment best practices.
  • Collaborate in an Agile environment with cross-functional teams, aligning technical solutions with product and business goals.

What You’ll Need

  • 5 years of professional experience in software engineering, AI/ML engineering, or related roles.
  • Bachelor’s or Master’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, or a related technical field (or equivalent experience).
  • Strong coding skills in Python or Java, with experience in software engineering best practices.
  • Hands-on experience deploying, maintaining, and scaling ML models in production environments.
  • Proficiency with cloud platforms (AWS or Azure), containerization, and Infrastructure-as-Code.
  • Experience with MLOps tools and workflows (e.g., MLflow, SageMaker, Kubeflow).Familiarity with CI/CD pipelines, automation, monitoring, and observability for ML systems.
  • Working knowledge of NLP concepts (tokenization, embeddings, classification, sequence modeling); healthcare domain exposure is a plus.
  • Experience fine-tuning and deploying LLMs and generative AI solutions.
  • Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to design scalable, reliable, and maintainable ML systems.
  • Excellent communication and collaboration skills in cross-functional, distributed teams.
  • Self-starter with the ability to work independently and contribute from day one.

Nice To Have

  • Experience with clinical or healthcare AI applications.
  • Familiarity with Hugging Face, PyTorch, TensorFlow, or other modern ML frameworks.
  • Prior exposure to agentic AI and generative AI applications.
  • AWS Associate-level certification (Machine Learning Engineer or Solutions Architect).
