Job Title: MLOps Engineer.

Location: Meril - Merai Newage Pvt Ltd, D block, 4th floor, Kanagam Road, Tharamani, Chennai 600 113.

Shift Timings: Monday to Saturday (9 AM to 5.30 PM).

Experience: 3+ Years.

About the Role: We are seeking an experienced MLOps Engineer with a focus on healthcare AI to join our innovative team. This role involves designing, implementing, and maintaining scalable MLOps pipelines for deploying deep learning models, including very deep vision models and large language models (LLMs), in clinical research, diagnostics, and healthcare analytics. The ideal candidate will have hands-on experience in healthcare AI environments, ensuring reliable, efficient, and compliant model deployments.

Key Responsibility: ● Design and implement CI/CD pipelines for machine learning models using tools like Jenkins, GitHub Actions, or GitLab CI. ● Deploy and manage very deep vision models (e.g., CNNs for medical imaging) and LLMs (e.g., for NLP in clinical notes) in production environments using Docker, Kubernetes, and cloud platforms (e.g., AWS, Azure, GCP). ● Develop monitoring, logging, and alerting systems for ML models to ensure performance, drift detection, and retraining triggers using tools like Prometheus, Grafana, or MLflow. ● Collaborate with data scientists, AI engineers, and clinicians to integrate models into healthcare workflows, handling large-scale medical datasets. ● Implement version control for models and data using tools like DVC, MLflow, or Kubeflow. ● Ensure compliance with healthcare regulations (e.g., HIPAA, GDPR) through secure data handling, model auditing, and privacy-preserving techniques. ● Optimize model inference for efficiency, including model quantization, serving with TensorFlow Serving, TorchServe, or BentoML. ● Troubleshoot deployment issues and perform A/B testing for model iterations. ● Automate infrastructure as code using Terraform or Ansible for reproducible environments.

Must-Have Skills & Experience ● Bachelor’s or master’s degree in computer science, Engineering, or a related field. ● Minimum 3 years of experience as an MLOps Engineer or in a similar role. ● Hands-on experience deploying very deep vision models (e.g., ResNet, U-Net for medical imaging) and LLMs (e.g., GPT variants, BERT for healthcare NLP). ● Some experience in healthcare AI, such as working with medical imaging data (DICOM) or clinical datasets. ● Proficiency in Python, containerization (Docker), orchestration (Kubernetes), and CI/CD. ● Familiarity with ML frameworks like TensorFlow, PyTorch, and MLOps platforms like Kubeflow, SageMaker, or Vertex AI. ● Strong understanding of cloud computing, DevOps practices, and version control (Git). ● Knowledge of data security and regulatory compliance in healthcare.
