- Supporting workflow automation and debugging across distributed systems (e.g. Dagster, Argo, Kubeflow).
- Building and extending frontend components for model management and result visualization (React.js or similar).
- Collaborating with ML Scientists and Product Engineers to integrate AI models into production environments.

Your Responsibilities:

- Architect and optimize database systems ensuring high reliability and performance.
- Automate and monitor workflow execution for model training, calibration, and inference.
- Maintain and document scalable CI/CD and deployment pipelines.
- Ensure code quality, reproducibility, and clarity across all development processes.

Your Profile:

- Strong experience in Full-Stack or Backend Development (Python, Django/FastAPI preferred).
- Solid experience in database development (PostgreSQL, MySQL, or equivalent).
- Experience with containerization (Docker, Kubernetes) and Linux environments.
- Bonus: Experience with Machine Learning integration (model APIs, inference pipelines).
- Bonus: Familiarity with MLOps/DevOps tools (DVC, CI/CD, Dagster).
