AI Deployment Reliability Engineer

Aurora Vestergaard

Full-time · Job · Chicago

About the role

We deploy ML models for 20 clients, and each deployment is a production system that real users depend on. When a model serving endpoint goes down at 2 AM, someone needs to fix it — and ideally, the monitoring should have caught it before it went down at all. You'll own deployment reliability: building the monitoring stack that tracks model serving health, designing automated rollback procedures for failed deployments, creating chaos engineering tests that verify resilience, and maintaining the runbooks that on-call engineers use when things break. ML deployments fail in unique ways. A model might serve predictions fine but return garbage because a feature pipeline broke upstream. Latency might spike because input data changed shape. Memory might leak because batch sizes aren't bounded. You'll learn to anticipate these failure modes and build defenses against them.
