Location: Ref: 26554, Austria, Graz, United Kingdom

Department: Software Engineering

About the role

We are hiring a senior hands-on MLOps Engineer who blends strong DevOps fundamentals with machine learning delivery. You will build and run the CI/CD pipelines that move ML and application artifacts safely across environments on Azure, and keep those services reliable in production.

Key responsibilities 

• Design, build and maintain CI/CD pipelines for ML models, data components and supporting services 

• Create pipelines that promote artifacts (models, packages, containers, configuration) across environments, such as dev, test, staging and production, with the right gates and approvals 

• Integrate pipelines with Azure services, for example Azure DevOps or GitHub Actions, Azure Machine Learning, container registries, Key Vault and storage 

• Write and maintain Python scripts and tooling that automate pipeline steps, deployments and operational tasks 

• Implement and manage authentication and authorization for pipelines, including service principals, managed identities, secrets handling and least-privilege access 

• Run and support services in production: monitoring, alerting, incident response, troubleshooting and continuous improvement 

• Work with data scientists, ML engineers and platform teams to turn experimental work into repeatable, production-ready delivery 

• Document pipelines and operating procedures so other teams can use and support them 

Required qualifications 

• Proven experience with CI/CD processes and tooling in a production setting 

• Experience designing pipelines that promote artifacts across multiple environments 

• Hands-on experience integrating with Azure services 

• Strong Python skills, including scripting and automation 

• Experience building authentication mechanisms for pipelines (service principals, managed identities, token-based access, secrets management) 

• Experience running services in production and supporting them operationally 

• Working knowledge of MLOps concepts: model packaging, versioning, deployment and monitoring 

• Solid understanding of version control, infrastructure as code and containerization 

• Clear communication and the ability to collaborate with data science and engineering teams 

Nice to have 

• Hands-on experience with GitHub Copilot in day-to-day engineering work 

• Exposure to AI adoption strategies in an enterprise environment, such as rollout, enablement, governance and measuring impact 

• Experience with Azure Machine Learning or comparable MLOps platforms 

• Familiarity with monitoring and observability for ML workloads
