You will work closely with Data Scientists, Data Engineers, and the Technology team to enable the seamless deployment of machine learning models and data products. Your expertise in programming, data engineering, and machine learning operations will empower Data Scientists to independently deliver their models to production. You will play a key role in enhancing the overall efficiency and scalability of our data science operations.

Responsibilities

• Collaborate with Data Scientists to understand their model development requirements and assist in translating these requirements into production-ready solutions.

• Architect, build, test, deploy distributed, scalable, and resilient Spark/Scala/Kafka Data processing, and Machine Learning model pipelines for batch, micro-batch, and streaming workloads.

• Develop and deploy robust, scalable, and maintainable machine learning services, APIs, and frameworks that enable Data Scientists to deploy their models to production efficiently.

• Collaborate with Data Engineers to design and optimize data pipelines that feed the models in production, ensuring the availability and quality of data inputs.

• Continuously explore and implement new tools, technologies, and frameworks that enhance the data science workflow and align with the needs of the team.

• Champion and implement best practices for ML Ops, including model monitoring, model versioning, and performance optimization.

• Collaborate with the Technology team to align the data science tech stack with the organization's overall technology stack and ensure integration with existing systems.

• Stay up to date with the latest advancements in machine learning, data engineering, and related technologies, and apply them to improve the overall efficiency and effectiveness of the Data Science team.

• Act as a mentor and provide technical guidance to Data Scientists, helping them improve their programming skills and adopt efficient development practices.

• Collaborate with cross-functional teams to understand business requirements and translate them into actionable technical solutions.

• Collaborate with data engineers to develop automated orchestration of data pipelines in order to provide the proper data to the data scientists in the respective stage (training and production)

• Collaborate with data scientists to develop automated orchestration of model pipelines to solve Konfío business use case objectives

Soft Skills

• Problem Solver – You are proficient at using a combination of intuition and logic to
• come up with solutions
