Key Responsibilities

• Design, build, and support automated AWS SageMaker training pipelines

• Enable a collaborative Data Science Experimentation Platform using AWS services and Jupyter-based tools

• Build and maintain infrastructure-as-code using Terraform

• Integrate infrastructure workflows into CI/CD pipelines (e.g., GitHub Actions or Jenkins)

• Collaborate with Data Scientists to understand and support experimentation needs

• Define scalable patterns for managing Jupyter Notebooks, container images, and model artifacts

• Implement IAM and security best practices for SageMaker Studio environments

• Set up monitoring, observability, and audit tooling where needed

Core Skills & Experience

• AWS (SageMaker Studio, IAM, ECR, EventBridge)
