• Develop infrastructure as code using AWS CDK for scalable and secure cloud deployments. 

• Build and manage integrations with AWS Lambda, Glue, Step Functions, and OpenTable formats (Apache Iceberg, Parquet, etc.). 

• Support MLOps lifecycle: model packaging, deployment, versioning, monitoring, and rollback strategies. 

• Use GitLab to manage repositories, pipelines, and infrastructure automation. 

• Enable logging, monitoring, and cost-effective scaling of SageMaker instances and jobs. 

• Collaborate closely with stakeholders across Data Science, Cloud Platform, and Product teams to gather requirements, communicate progress, and iterate on infrastructure designs.

• Proficiency in Python v3.6 or higher and experience with Python frameworks such as Pytest. 

• Strong experience with AWS CDK (TypeScript or Python) for IaC. 

• Hands-on experience with Amazon SageMaker, including pipeline creation and model deployment. 

• Solid command over AWS Lambda, AWS Glue, OpenTable formats (like Iceberg/Parquet), and event-driven architectures. 

• Practical knowledge of MLOps best practices: reproducibility, metadata management, model drift, etc. 

• Experience deploying production-grade data and ML systems. 

• Comfortable working in a consulting/client-facing environment, with strong stakeholder management and communication skills. 

Preferred Qualifications: 

• Experience with feature stores, ML model registries, or custom SageMaker containers.
