Preferred Qualifications

• 7+ years of experience in AI/ML engineering or platform roles

• Experience with AWS SageMaker endpoints, pipelines, and model hosting

• Experience integrating, orchestrating, or governing LLM workloads using Amazon Bedrock

• Prior experience with ML deployments in production environments

• Familiarity with Terraform modules and EKS-based deployments

• Knowledge of ML observability, monitoring, and failure detection

• Experience in FinTech or enterprise data platforms is an advantage

Why This Role Matters

This is a mission-critical engineering role that ensures ML and LLM workloads are deployed securely, reliably, and efficiently at enterprise scale. The role supports long-term AI platform evolution and accelerates scalable ML and generative AI adoption across the organization.
