The ML Ops Engineer will be accountable and responsible for understanding the requirements, ensuring the model is built to production standards, looking at how the model can be deployed, as well as streamlining the processes, automating those processes, and ensuring that we're using the right tools correctly.

*

Initially the ML Ops Engineer will be responsible for reviewing the D&A Data Science proof of concept. They will need to understand through the D&A Product Owner the requirements and what the output needs to look like. They will then ensure that the model has been developed in a manner that ports to a production environment. They will provide feedback and guidance on any model changes that would be needed to optimise for production deployments.

*

Once the proof of concept phase is over and we move to development the ML Ops Engineer will be accountable for the development and creation of the pipelines needed to deploy the model in to a production environment. Working with the D&A Development team

*

The ML Ops Engineer will take the model that has been developed by the D&A Data Science team and ensure that it is accessible. The key areas of responsibility are building, deploying, managing and optimising the model in a production environment, to ensure smooth integration and efficient operations.

*

The ML Ops Engineer is responsible for checking deployment pipelines for ML models and triggering CI/CD pipelines. They will need to monitor these pipelines to ensure all tests pass and that the model outputs are generated and sent to the appropriate location. They will review code changes and pull requests from the D&A Data Science team and take these forward in a controlled manner.

*

The ML Ops Engineer should enforce security and data governance best practices to safeguard both the models and the data they process.

*

The ML Ops Engineer will work to put in place BAU processes that will be adopted by D&A. They will define the process and activity that needs to be undertaken building out a ways of working site for the activity. They will identify and implement monitoring tools to ensure response times of the model are within tolerance.
