[Hiring] Senior Machine Learning Operations Engineer @Built Technologies

Role Description

Built is investing in applied machine learning to power the next generation of data products in construction finance. We’re hiring our first dedicated Senior ML Ops Engineer to build the foundation that makes that possible.

This role exists to change that by designing and implementing the ML Ops platform that enables training, deployment, monitoring, governance, and automation across our ecosystem. This is a 0→1 build where you’ll define tooling, establish standards, and integrate ML workloads into our AWS-native, event-driven architecture.

This is not a research or modeling role. It’s a platform engineering role focused on productionizing machine learning systems. Your work will directly enable new benchmarking and anonymized data products that expand Built’s market opportunity.

You’ll partner closely with Data Engineering, Data Science, and Platform teams to establish how ML systems operate across Built.

What You’ll Do

• Build and operationalize the infrastructure that allows machine learning to run reliably in production.
• Architect and implement Built’s foundational ML Ops platform from scratch.
• Define and deploy reusable patterns for model training, deployment, monitoring, and retraining.
• Build CI/CD pipelines for ML lifecycle automation, including versioning and experimentation tracking.
• Stand up a feature store integrated with Snowflake and AWS to support structured and unstructured data.
• Implement model registry and governance standards to ensure reproducibility, auditability, and rollback capability.
• Integrate ML workloads into our event-driven architecture (Kafka, Kinesis).
• Develop observability frameworks to monitor drift, performance, latency, and model quality in production.
• Automate ML infrastructure using Terraform and AWS-native tooling (SageMaker, Lambda, ECS, Batch, Step Functions).
• Establish security and compliance standards across ML assets, including data lineage and access control.
• Mentor engineers on ML Ops patterns and deployment best practices.

This role is hands-on and foundational. You’ll be shaping how machine learning operates at Built for years to come.

Qualifications

• Experience architecting and deploying ML systems in production environments.
• Deep familiarity with ML lifecycle automation (training, CI/CD, deployment, monitoring).
• Strong AWS experience, particularly within ML pipelines (SageMaker preferred).
• Proven experience building infrastructure-as-code solutions (Terraform).
• Strong Python proficiency.
• Experience integrating ML workloads with data platforms and event-driven systems.
• Solid SQL skills and familiarity working with Snowflake.

Requirements

• Experience productionizing ML workflows end-to-end, not just optimizing existing systems.

Benefits

• Competitive benefits including: uncapped vacation, health, dental & vision insurance.
• 401k with match and expedited vesting.
• Robust compensation package, including equity in the form of stock options.
• Flexible working hours, paid family leave, ERGs & Mentorship opportunities.
• Learning grant program to support ongoing professional development.
