5+ years in machine learning engineering, backend software engineering, MLOps, or a closely related field
Production ML service experience — deploying, serving, and operating models in low-latency, high-availability contexts
Strong backend engineering fundamentals in Python, with API frameworks like FastAPI or Flask
Experience with model deployment and lifecycle tooling: model registries, CI/CD for models, versioning, and staged rollout patterns (shadow, canary, champion/challenger)
Experience building observability and alerting for production services — latency, errors, and ideally model-specific signals like drift
Comfort with the data layer ML depends on: SQL, key-value/low-latency stores (Redis, DynamoDB, or equivalent), and streaming pipelines (Kafka, Kinesis, Redpanda, or equivalent)
