We are seeking a highly skilledML Ops Engineerto join our growing data team. This role is critical in designing and implementing robust scalable and efficient data systems that power analytics machine learning models and business insights. The ideal candidate will have expertise in data pipeline orchestration (e.g. Airflow) data lake and warehouse architecture and developmentinfrastructure as code (IaC)usingTerraformand data extraction from both structured and unstructured data sources (e.g. websites). Knowledge using theMicrosoft Azure ecosystemMLOpsKubernetes and other modern data engineering practices.

Data Architecture & Development:

• Devesign and implement scalable secure and high-performance data lake and data warehouse solutions.
• Lerage best practices in schema design partitioning and optimisation for efficient storage and retrieval.
• Build and maintain data models to support analytics and machine learning workflows.

Pipeline Orchestration:

• Develop monitor and optimize ETL/ELT workflows using Apache Airflow.
• Ensure data pipelines are robust error-tolerant and scalable for real-time and batch processing.

Data Scraping & Unstructured Data Processing:

• Develop and maintain scalable web scraping solutions to collect data from diverse sources including APIs websites and other unstructured data sources.
• Extract clean and transform unstructured data such as text images and log files into structured formats suitable for analysis.
• Use tools and frameworks likeBeautifulSoupScrapy orSeleniumfor web scraping and natural language processing (NLP) techniques for text processing.

Cloud Integration:

• Design and implement cloud-native data solutions with Microsoft Azure.
• Optimize costs and performance of cloud-based data solutions.

Infrastructure as Code (IaC):

• Use Terraform to automate the provisioning and management of cloud infrastructure.
• Define reusable and modular Terraform configurations to support scalable deployment of resources.

MLOps:

• Collaborate with data scientists and machine learning engineers to operationalise machine learning models.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines for machine learning workflows ensuring efficient model deployment and monitoring.

Containerisation and Orchestration:

• Utilize Kubernetes and containerisation technologies (e.g. Docker) to deploy scalable fault-tolerant data processing systems.
• Manage infrastructure and resource allocation for containerised data applications.

Cross-Functional Collaboration:

• Work closely with stakeholders including data scientists software engineers and business analysts to align technical solutions with business needs.
• Mentor junior engineers and foster a culture of continuous learning within the team.

Education:

• Bachelors/Masters/PhD degree in Computer Science Engineering or a related field; or equivalent professional experience.

Experience:
