MLOps Engineer

Description

Our mission

Climate change is causing deep uncertainty at all levels of society, with climate volatility reducing the security of all land-based assets and posing a multi-level security threat for the functioning of enterprises, societies, and governments.

Mitiga is a spinoff of the Barcelona Supercomputing Center, which hosts MareNostrum, one of the most powerful supercomputers in Europe.

Mitiga's mission is firmly rooted in employing cutting-edge science and technology to mitigate the multifaceted risks posed by climate-driven perils. Our approach spans a spectrum of temporal scales, from real-time and annual forecasts to projections spanning the next century. This comprehensive perspective on risk, coupled with our capacity to transfer risks to capital markets via catastrophe bonds, positions us to significantly contribute to enhanced climate mitigation, resilience, and equity.

And we need you.

Who You Are

We are looking for an experienced MLOps Engineer to join our team and contribute to the end-to-end development, deployment, and maintenance of machine learning models. You will work closely with Data Scientists, DevOps, and Infrastructure teams to optimize and automate ML workflows, ensuring efficient model training, deployment, and monitoring.

If you are passionate about MLOps, cloud platforms, Generative AI, and climate-related data science, this is a great opportunity to apply your expertise in a meaningful domain!

What You’ll Do

• Design and develop MLOps workflows, covering data ingestion, preprocessing, model training, validation, deployment, and monitoring.

• Manage and manipulate datasets, including feature engineering, transformation, and data cleaning.

• Develop automated pipelines for ingesting data from climate-related databases (e.g., NASA, Copernicus).

• Transform Jupyter Notebooks into production-ready ML pipelines.

• Implement and maintain training and inference pipelines in on-premise and cloud environments.

• Ensure the maintenance and scalability of deployed ML models and data processing workflows.

• Collaborate with Data Scientists to optimize model deployment and inference.

• Work closely with Tech, IT, and Infrastructure teams to deploy Data Science solutions efficiently.

• Participate in technical proposals at both national and international levels.

Requirements

Required Qualifications:

• Proficiency in Python programming in the field of data science and ML operations.

• Knowledge of Machine Learning frameworks (TF, PyTorch, Scikit-learn, etc.).

• Experience with cloud platforms such as Azure or AWS (model registration, container registration, deployment, monitoring, and automated training).

• Certifications in AWS or Azure (or other equivalent cloud platforms for data processing).

• Advanced knowledge of Apache Spark in the field of data science (PySpark).

• Experience with Google AI TFX, Kubeflow, MLFlow or similar tools for managing the ML life cycle.

• Knowledge of data visualization tools (PowerBI, Tableau, Grafana or similar).

• Knowledge and experience in Generative AI.

• Experience developing and using SaaS applications.

• Knowledge and application of data science in climate sectors.

• Interest in climate change, climate resilience, weather forecasting, physics, etc.

Diversity

A recent study shows that one in every 10 tech workers in Spain are women. Only 8% of all contracts in 2019 with people with disabilities were in technology and science. Meanwhile, 30% of LGTBIQ people in Spain do not come out in the workplace for fear of discrimination.

This is neither the world we want to live in nor the workplace we’re building.  

Mitiga is committed to creating a diverse environment and is proud to be an equal opportunity employer. All qualified applicants will receive consideration for employment without regard to race, colour, religion, gender, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, national origin, genetics, disability, age, or veteran status.

In fact, we strongly encourage applicants from minority groups to apply.

Our offer

Our vision is to be the place where a diverse mix of talented people want to come, to stay and do their best work. Some of our benefits, like unlimited personal time or flexible working arrangements, help work adjust to your life – and not the other way around. You can work from home or come twice a week to our office in the heart of Barcelona. Dogs and other furry friends are welcome!

Our compressed work schedule allows you to work half a day on Fridays during the year (so you can start the weekend early). During the summer, it also allows you to work 4 days a week, so you spend time with your loved ones (or work on your tan). Shadow our leadership and participate in our structured feedback and mentorship programs. If you grow, we grow.
