What You’ll Do

• Design, build, and maintain backend services for deploying and serving ML models in production

• Develop high-performance APIs and services in Java, with supporting components in Python

• Deploy and operate services on AWS using ECS + Fargate, SageMaker, or EC2 with Kubernetes

• Enable both real-time (low-latency) and batch inference workflows

• Ensure service reliability, scalability, and performance in production environments

• Implement and maintain CI/CD pipelines and deployment automation

• Monitor systems using observability tools and proactively resolve production issues

• Collaborate with ML engineers to optimize model serving and integration workflows

What We’re Looking For

• Strong backend engineering fundamentals with proficiency in Java

• Working knowledge of Python, especially in ML-related workflows

• Hands-on experience with AWS services (ECS, EC2, DynamoDB, Redis, S3, SageMaker)

• Experience with containers and orchestration (Docker, ECS, Kubernetes)

• Familiarity with Terraform or other infrastructure-as-code tools

• Experience building and operating production systems with CI/CD and monitoring

• Experience with observability tools (Datadog, New Relic, or similar)

• Understanding of how ML models are deployed and served in production

• Strong problem-solving skills and ability to work in a fast-paced environment

Nice to Have

• Experience with asynchronous programming and concurrent systems

• Familiarity with MLOps or ML platform concepts

• Experience optimizing low-latency, high-throughput systems

• Exposure to model lifecycle management (training → deployment → monitoring)
