Versioning & Release Management
• Manage versioning of models, prompts, configurations, and artifacts across environments.
• Support controlled promotion from development to test, staging, and production.
• Implement rollback strategies and release validation checks to minimize production risk.

Secrets & Configuration Management
• Securely manage secrets, credentials, and sensitive configuration using AWS-native and approved enterprise tooling.
• Enforce least-privilege access and rotation policies.
• Ensure separation of configuration across environments.

Deployment & Environment Management
• Deploy AI and ML services using containerized and cloud-native patterns.
• Support blue/green, canary, or phased deployments where applicable.
• Ensure deployments are repeatable, traceable, and compliant with change governance.

Monitoring, Logging & Observability
• Implement monitoring and alerting for AI services, model endpoints, and pipelines.
• Track service health, deployment status, and runtime performance.
• Support operational dashboards and metrics for platform and service visibility.

Production Support & Controlled Promotion
• Partner with operations teams to support production readiness and stability.
• Participate in release readiness reviews and production cutovers.
• Ensure promotion to production follows defined governance, approvals, and validation criteria.

Collaboration & Continuous Improvement
• Collaborate with AI engineers, data scientists, and platform teams to streamline delivery workflows.
• Identify opportunities to improve reliability, security, and developer productivity.
• Contribute reusable pipeline templates, standards, and documentation.

Required Skills
• Hands-on experience with AWS cloud services and infrastructure.
• Strong understanding of MLOps and LLMOps concepts and lifecycle management.
• Experience building CI/CD pipelines using GitHub.
• Solid DevOps fundamentals, including automation and environment management.
• Experience managing secrets and secure configurations.
• Familiarity with model and artifact versioning practices.
• Experience deploying services and supporting controlled production releases.
