About the Position:

As a MLOps Engineer working fully remotly in the USA, you will be the primary technical liaison to our prospective clients during sales as well as key customer accounts. You will be responsible for delivering the technical win and product fit during evaluation and onboarding of the Comet platform. It is critical for this role to build customer trust in our platform which will aid the sales and customer success organizations.
