MLOps Engineer

At Lumenalta, we partner with forward-thinking organizations to build technology solutions that scale, delight users, and accelerate business growth. Our global teams bring curiosity, commitment, and technical excellence to every project. We value transparency, autonomy, and impact—empowering every team member to do their best work.

We’re seeking an experienced MLOps Engineer responsible for operationalizing machine learning at scale on the Databricks platform. This role bridges data engineering and ML, building the infrastructure and workflows that take models from experimentation to reliable production deployments.

Future Opportunity Role – Talent Pipeline

This is a future opportunity role. We continuously meet talented engineers to support upcoming client projects. While there may not be an immediate opening, qualified candidates may be considered for future engagements.

What You'll Be Doing

• Design and maintain MLflow-based workflows for experiment tracking, model registry, versioning, and lifecycle management.
• Build and manage Feature Store infrastructure to enable reusable, consistent feature pipelines across teams and use cases.
• Develop model deployment pipelines, including serving infrastructure, A/B testing support, versioning, and rollback strategies.
• Implement CI/CD pipelines tailored for ML workflows, including automated testing, validation gates, and deployment triggers.
• Orchestrate distributed model training on Databricks, optimizing for compute efficiency, reproducibility, and cost.
