Why We Need This Role
We are looking for a Technical Lead profile to manage the MLOps unit within the Intelligent Systems Group. The unit is currently horizontal, it includes both Platform and Machine Learning engineers and it is responsible for supporting data scientists in deploying, maintaining and monitoring an increasing number of Python-based microservices, ETL pipelines, SaaS models, databases and vector stores.
