About the Role

We are looking for a hands-on, cloud-savvy Machine Learning Engineer with 2+ years of experience to join our Data Science & AI Center of Excellence (CoE).

In this role, you will help design, operationalize, and scale production-grade machine learning systems that power real-time, high-availability betting and gaming experiences.

You will work closely with Data Scientists, ML Engineers, Cloud Engineers, and Product teams to build end-to-end ML pipelines, automate deployment workflows, and ensure models run efficiently, reliably, and securely in production environments.

This position is ideal for someone who is passionate about MLOps, automation, cloud-native ML tooling, and scalable model governance.

Key Responsibilities

MLOps & Productionization

• Build and maintain automated ML pipelines for training, testing, deployment, and monitoring of models.
• Deploy ML models to production using modern MLOps frameworks, CI/CD pipelines, containerization, and orchestration systems.
• Implement robust model versioning, lineage, reproducibility, and governance practices.
  
  

• Develop monitoring dashboards and alerts for model performance, data drift, feature quality, and service health.
• Ensure uptime, scalability, and resilience of ML services in real-time, high-traffic environments.
  
  

• Collaborate with Data Engineering to build high-quality feature pipelines, implement feature stores, and optimize data flows for training and inference.
• Build data validation checks, data quality alerts, and schema enforcement.
  
  

• Design cloud-native ML workflows using AWS/GCP services (depending on company stack).
• Optimize resource usage, cost efficiency, and infrastructure automation for ML workloads.
  
  

• Work with the CoE team to establish MLOps best practices, templates, reusable components, and internal frameworks.
• Partner with Data Science teams to accelerate model development lifecycle while ensuring compliance and security.
• Contribute to technical documentation, design reviews, and knowledge-sharing initiatives.
  
  

• Technical Experience
• 2+ years of hands-on experience in Machine Learning Engineering or MLOps roles.
• Strong proficiency in Python and ML/DS libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, pandas, NumPy).
• Experience building and deploying ML models into production.
• Practical experience with containerization (Docker) and orchestration (e.g., airflow, prefect, etc).
• Experience with CI/CD pipelines (GitLab CI, GitHub Actions, Jenkins, etc.).
• Understanding of ML lifecycle management: experiment tracking, feature engineering, model validation, monitoring, retraining.
• Cloud & DevOps
• Hands-on experience with cloud platforms (AWS, GCP) and ML-native cloud services.
• Familiarity with infrastructure-as-code tools (Terraform, CloudFormation, etc.).
• Soft Skills
• Strong problem-solving abilities and ownership mindset.
• Ability to work in a fast-paced, highly collaborative environment.
• Clear communication skills with both technical and non-technical stakeholders.
