Why We Need This Role
We are looking for a DevOps Engineer to help us maintain and expand an ecosystem of microservices developed within the Artificial Intelligence Group. We leverage a range of AI techniques including large scale knowledge graphs and Generative AI (LLMs for text and images). The role includes ensuring robustness and scalability of AI-based production APIs, as well as data and model training pipelines. As we push the boundaries of what is possible, and scale our systems to improve the services we deliver to customers and internal teams, we need individuals that can help us innovate fast, but maintain a high quality bar.
Why You Should Join
The position will be at the intersection of data science and DevOps. You would want to join because of the variety of problems we are facing: support to data scientists in the development of AI-based production APIs; support the design, implementation, deployment, maintenance of our microservices infrastructure, data and model training pipelines. This is an engaging role and you should be an eager problem solver that takes pride in the production of clean, robust and scalable solutions.
