JOB DESCRIPTION
MLOps / LLMOps Engineer
Takes our Python-based LLM, RAG and agent systems from code into reliable, secure, observable production on Azure. The focus is deploying, automating and monitoring these systems, not building features.

Deploy and run containerized FastAPI inference and agent services on Azure.
Build and schedule data, embedding and re-indexing pipelines with Prefect.
Set up LLM observability and evaluation with Langfuse, and gate releases on evaluation results.
Manage Azure OpenAI capacity: rate limits, token budgets, cost and fallbacks.
Operate the data layer: vector databases (Qdrant / Milvus), PostgreSQL, Snowflake, Redis.
Own CI/CD, infrastructure as code, secrets and security for the platform.
Must-have skills (screen out if missing)

| Azure security | Service principals, managed identity, Key Vault, private endpoints, OAuth 2.0 / MSAL. |
| Data & vector stores | Qdrant or Milvus operations, PostgreSQL, Alembic migrations, Snowflake, Azure Blob. |
Good-to-have (strong plus)
Infrastructure as code: Terraform or Bicep.
Model lifecycle: MLflow or Azure ML for model registry, experiment tracking, and running fine-tuning and training jobs.
Monitoring: Azure Monitor / App Insights or Prometheus / Grafana, alerting, drift detection.
RAG evaluation: faithfulness, relevance, NDCG and MRR run as automated pipelines.
Working knowledge of LangGraph / LangChain and MCP servers, enough to deploy and debug them.
Code quality: pytest, Ruff, pre-commit, SAST in CI.
Nice-to-have (bonus)
Ray; PyArrow / Parquet tuning; Splunk; ServiceNow; Microsoft Graph API; Network operations / NOC domain.
Not required for this role
React / TypeScript frontend, deep agent or prompt design, graph algorithms (NetworkX), regex engineering, and building enterprise integrations. These sit with the AI Specialist role.
Red flags when screening profiles
Only notebooks, data science or model research, with no production deployment.
Only AWS or GCP with no Azure exposure (acceptable only if very strong otherwise).
Pure DevOps with no ML, LLM or data pipeline work.
