• Design and implement automated ML pipelines to support the deployment, monitoring, and management of machine learning models using Palantir Foundry, Palantir Gotham, and AWS.

• Utilize Palantir Foundry for managing end-to-end data pipelines and operationalizing machine learning solutions at scale.

• Apply Palantir Cloud and other cloud-native tools to manage data governance, compliance, and security for machine learning models and large datasets.

• Data Engineering:

• Build robust data pipelines to support training, testing, and inference of machine learning models.

• Develop and manage ETL processes using AWS services such as Glue, Redshift, Kinesis, and S3.

• Design and manage data architecture to ensure high availability, security, and efficient processing of large datasets.

• Machine Learning & Data Science Collaboration:

• Work closely with the data science team to translate data science models into production-ready systems.

• Assist in model selection, optimization, and testing for performance and scalability.

• Conduct model performance monitoring and facilitate ongoing improvements based on feedback and data analysis.

• Cloud Infrastructure & Security:

• Architect and maintain scalable, reliable, and secure infrastructure for machine learning workloads on AWS.

• Manage infrastructure as code using tools like CloudFormation or Terraform.

• Implement best practices for data security, compliance, and model governance.

• Collaboration & Documentation:

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to define system requirements and performance metrics.

• Provide documentation for the MLOps pipeline, data workflows, and models in production.

• Train and mentor junior team members in MLOps best practices and tools.

Required Skills and Qualifications:

• Bachelor s or Master s degree in Computer Science, Data Engineering, Data Science, or a related field.

• Strong hands-on experience working with Palantir Foundry and/or Palantir Gotham for data integration, transformation, and analysis.

• Proven experience in MLOps or similar roles involving machine learning and cloud operations.

• Strong knowledge of AWS services (e.g., SageMaker, Lambda, EC2, S3, Redshift, Glue, Kinesis).

• Proficiency in programming languages such as Python, SQL, and bash for data manipulation and automation.

• Experience with machine learning frameworks and tools like TensorFlow, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, MLflow, and Kubeflow.

• Familiarity with containerization and orchestration technologies such as Docker and Kubernetes.

• Solid understanding of CI/CD pipelines and tools like Jenkins, GitLab, or GitHub Actions.

• Strong problem-solving skills with the ability to troubleshoot and debug complex systems.

• Excellent communication skills, both written and verbal, with the ability to present technical concepts clearly.

Preferred Qualifications:

• Advanced degree (Master's or Ph.D.) in a relevant field.

• AWS Certified Solutions Architect or Certified Machine Learning Specialty certification.

• Familiarity with DevOps practices and tools.

• Experience with real-time data streaming and event-driven architectures.

• Knowledge of big data technologies like Hadoop, Spark, and Flink.

Desired Personal Attributes:

• Strong curiosity and eagerness to learn new technologies and trends in AI and cloud computing.

• Self-starter with the ability to work independently and take ownership of projects.

• Collaborative team player with a passion for delivering high-quality solutions.

• Attention to detail, particularly in managing complex systems and workflows.
