- Build and maintain secure data export services with ML-based threat detection to prevent attack vectors (SQL injection, etc.) using adaptive models rather than manual rules
- Manage golden datasets and implement production model evaluation frameworks to ensure anonymization quality and system reliability
- Build and maintain data pipelines that efficiently extract, transform, and load data from various sources, handling multiple data formats (text, images, audio, video)
- Implement automation and orchestration tools using ML orchestration platforms (MLflow, Braintrust, or similar) to streamline infrastructure provisioning and reduce manual effort

Skills and AI tools this role asks for
Questions you could be asked
- How do you monitor a model once it's live, and how do you know it needs retraining?
- How do you decide that one model's output is better than another's for a given task?
- What are the limits of MLflow that you've run into, and how did you work around them?
- How would you decide a model or AI system is ready to ship?
- Tell me about a time a model underperformed in production. How did you find out, and what did you change?
Adapt your resume
- List these exact terms on your resume: ML Ops, AI Evaluation, and MLflow. An applicant tracking system matches the wording, not the idea.
- Attach one line of real, concrete experience to at least one of them. A tool named with nothing behind it rarely survives a human read.
- Lead with what you built, trained or shipped. This role is judged on the AI system itself, not the tools around it.
