Role Description

We are looking for an experienced Machine Learning Architect to lead the design and implementation of scalable AI and ML solutions across modern cloud data platforms. This role combines architecture, engineering, and strategic leadership to enable enterprise-scale machine learning capabilities. The ideal candidate has strong hands-on experience with Databricks and a deep understanding of ML lifecycle management, MLOps, scalable data architectures, and AI platform governance. This is a highly collaborative role working closely with Data Engineering, Data Science, Product, and Business stakeholders to design robust, scalable, and production-ready AI solutions.

• Define and lead the architecture for scalable Machine Learning and AI platforms.
• Design end-to-end ML workflows using Databricks, including:
  • Feature engineering
  • Model training
  • Experimentation
  • Deployment
  • Monitoring
• Architect scalable data pipelines for AI/ML workloads using:

  • Python
  • SQL
• Establish MLOps best practices including:
  • CI/CD for ML
  • Model versioning
  • Model governance
  • Automated retraining
  • Model drifting
  • Observability and monitoring
• Design secure and compliant AI architectures aligned with governance and privacy standards.
• Partner with Data Engineering teams to optimize data models and feature stores.
• Guide Data Scientists and ML Engineers on scalable production design patterns.
• Evaluate and integrate modern AI capabilities, including (this will be a plus):
  • LLMs
  • Vector databases
  • Retrieval augmented generation (RAG)
  • AI agents
• Drive cost optimization, scalability, and operational excellence across ML platforms.
• Define reference architectures and best practices across multiple ML teams (not just owning a single project).

  • MLOps
  • ML lifecycle management
  • Distributed ML systems
  • Feature engineering
  • Model deployment patterns
  • Databricks Unity Catalog, Delta Lake, and Lakehouse architecture experience.
• Experience with cloud platforms (AWS, Azure, or GCP).
• Experience deploying ML models into production environments.
• Strong knowledge of data architecture and scalable ETL/ELT patterns.
• Experience working with orchestration frameworks such as Apache Airflow.
• Strong stakeholder communication and technical leadership skills.

Benefits

• Work Your Way: Flexibility to choose where you work from (Remote-first culture).
• Growth Mindset: Free English lessons and continuous training/learning opportunities.
• Well-being First: Access to counseling and psychotherapy services, and incentives in sports competitions, because your mind matters.
