• Containerization & Orchestration: Hands-on experience with Docker, Kubernetes, and other containerization technologies.

• ML Frameworks & Tools: Knowledgeable in machine learning concepts and frameworks (TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn) and MLOps platforms like MLflow, Kubeflow, or DataRobot.

• Distributed Systems Experience: Ability to build and maintain low-latency, distributed backend APIs.

• Problem-solving & Collaboration: Strong analytical skills and the ability to work collaboratively in a team-oriented environment.

  Mandatory Qualifications:

• 3-5 years of experience in DevOps, with an emphasis on MLOps practices.

• Strong cloud infrastructure experience, particularly with AWS.

• Expertise in scripting languages (e.g., Python, Shell, Ruby, Go) and troubleshooting

  Linux production environments.

• Knowledge of network concepts in AWS and infrastructure operations, especially in

  regulated environments such as banking.

• Proficient in monitoring, logging, and database technologies (e.g., MariaDB/MySQL).

  Preferred Qualities:

• Background in a product-focused organization.

• Demonstrated ability to manage infrastructure at scale.

• Side projects or contributions to open-source projects (e.g., on GitHub).

• Experience with backend programming languages.
