Bachelors degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and six (6) years of experience as a Director, Software Engineering (or closely related occupation) designing, developing, and deploying end-to-end ML pipelines and scalable cloud infrastructure.

Or, alternatively, Masters degree in Computer Science, Engineering, Information Technology, Information Systems, or a closely related field (or foreign education equivalent) and four (4) years of experience as a Director, Software Engineering (or closely related occupation) designing, developing, and deploying end-to-end ML pipelines and scalable cloud infrastructure.

Skills and Knowledge:

Candidate must also possess:

Demonstrated Expertise designing, developing, and deploying data features that enable ML models; developing and troubleshooting PyTorch on prem and cloud environments; developing dynamic feature generated platforms using Python and PostgreSQL; building and deploying ML models in Cloud (AWS Sagemaker), using Jenkins; orchestrating ML models within a Cloud environment to run periodically with required data features; and transforming model output to fit business use cases and making it available for consumers in Cloud-based data warehouse solutions -- Snowflake.

Demonstrated Expertise architecting and deploying scalable cloud solutions using Amazon EC2, RDS, and SageMaker, with secure credential management via AWS Secrets Manager; building serverless applications with AWS Lambda and Lambda layers, orchestrating workflows using Step Functions, and implementing messaging services with SNS and SQS; performing infrastructure automation using CloudFormation and Terraform, and containerization with Docker; and performing data modeling and troubleshooting of big data applications, predictive analytics, and KPI dashboard development, using Python, and advanced SQL and Non-SQL queries with structured and unstructured databases.

Demonstrated Expertise developing and deploying ML solutions using Amazon SageMaker; building robust APIs with FastAPI, and implementing MCP server and client architectures; designing and integrating A2A agentic frameworks to enable autonomous agent collaboration; and enhancing data-driven decision-making and application performance, using advanced information retrieval techniques and Retrieval-Augmented Generation (RAG).

Demonstrated Expertise implementing big data computing strategies (Continuous Integration/Continuous Deployment and Delivery processes) on enterprise applications using Jenkins; and deploying big data applications according to standard security (IAM and fine grain access controls -- role/policy based access and encryption schemes) and architectural requirements (domain, data modeling, optimized file formats, and Big Data architectures -- Lambda Architecture, Data Lakes, and Data Virtualization) to Cloud, using Jenkins pipelines and Docker.
