• Implement Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) for compute, storage, networking, and GPU-enabled environments 
• Establish reproducibility across datasets, models, code, and runtime environments 
• Integrate monitoring and observability for ML systems (latency, throughput, resource usage, model performance) 
• Partner with ML and software teams to transition models into production environments 
• Ensure ML platforms meet security and compliance standards (IAM, secrets management, system hardening) 
• Troubleshoot complex pipeline, infrastructure, and deployment issues; drive root cause resolution 
• Evaluate and implement modern MLOps tools, frameworks, and best practices 
• Develop technical documentation, architecture diagrams, and operational runbooks 
• Mentor junior engineers and contribute to architecture reviews and technical planning

Requirements

• U.S. Citizenship 
• Active Top Secret Clearance (SCI eligibility; CI Poly preferred or ability to obtain) 
• Bachelor’s degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Data Science, or related field 
• 4 years of experience in:

• Proficiency with Infrastructure-as-Code (Terraform, Ansible, or similar) 
• Experience with Docker and Kubernetes 
• Hands-on experience with AWS, Azure, or GCP (including GPU-based workloads) 
• Strong understanding of the ML lifecycle (training ? deployment ? monitoring ? retraining) 
• Scripting experience (Python, Bash, or PowerShell) 
• Familiarity with security best practices in regulated environments 
• Strong problem-solving, communication, and collaboration skills 

Preferred Qualifications

• Master’s degree in a related field 
• Experience with ML orchestration and tooling (Airflow, Kubeflow, MLflow, etc.) 
• Experience with model registries, experiment tracking, and reproducibility frameworks 
• Familiarity with RMF, STIGs, or other compliance frameworks 
• Experience with observability tools (Prometheus, Grafana, ELK, etc.) 
• Background supporting AI/ML systems in defense, intelligence, or high-assurance environments 
• Relevant certifications (AWS DevOps Engineer, AWS ML Specialty, Kubernetes, etc.)
