About the role

As a Senior MLOps Engineer, you will own the infrastructure that takes Nace.AI 's models from research to reliable, production-grade systems. Our infrastructure generates task-specific Small Language Models (SLMs) in real time — which means our training, serving, and evaluation infrastructure isn't an afterthought; it is the product.

What they're looking for

  • 5+ years of experience in MLOps, ML infrastructure, or platform engineering, with substantial production ownership
  • Proven experience deploying and scaling LLM, inference infrastructure in production, including model serving frameworks such as TRT, vLLM, SGLang or TGI
  • Strong proficiency with Kubernetes , containerization (Docker), and infrastructure-as-code (Terraform or similar)
  • Hands-on experience with GPU cluster management and distributed training/serving environments
  • Proficient in Python with a strong track record of building substantial, maintainable systems
  • Experience with ML pipeline and orchestration tooling (e.g., Airflow, Kubeflow, Ray, MLflow, Weights & Biases)
