MLOps Engineer

Location
Cairo, Egypt

About the Role
Yassir is seeking a highly skilled and motivated MLOps Engineer (of any senior level) to join our Artificial Intelligence (AI) team and drive our ML Operations in application deployment and infrastructure development. You will enable the training, deployment, experimentation, monitoring, and management of our ML applications and their artefacts, at scale and at speed. As an MLOps Engineer, you will play a crucial role in making Yassir’s products and operations more AI-driven, through the use of modern technologies. This is a very exciting opportunity, tackling some of Yassir’s most critical problems.

About Us

• The AI team is part of Yassir’s central Data & AI domain, responsible for all data-related activities in the organization, from Data Engineering, Data Platform management, and Data Analytics to AI solutions and MLOps infrastructure development.
• We are a global team of Data and AI/ML experts with diverse backgrounds and skills.
• We strive to build state-of-the-art Data and ML infrastructure and solutions, ultimately fostering a Data Culture supported by responsible and democratized data access, data-driven decision-making, predictiveness, and automation.
• We push the envelope of what is feasible, challenge each other, support one another, and take great pride in our work.
• Most importantly, we are value-driven to create impact from our data solutions.
• If you have an inherent curiosity about Data and AI, a relevant background, and a drive to contribute, please join us!

Key Responsibilities (What You Will Do)

• Deploy and monitor AI/ML models in production using CI/CD and MLOps best practices (e.g., retraining pipelines, model versioning, rollback strategies).
• Design and maintain scalable and secure MLOps infrastructure, leveraging our cloud platform (GCP), containerization (Docker, Kubernetes), and orchestration tools (Airflow, Kubeflow, Vertex AI, or similar).
• Collaborate closely with Data Scientists, ML Engineers, and DevOps to build end-to-end ML systems - from experimentation to monitoring.
• Implement automated testing, performance monitoring, alerting, and drift detection pipelines for deployed models.
• Ensure governance, traceability, and compliance of ML assets (e.g., model registry, audit trails, data lineage).
• Support AI governance and contribute to enforcing policies and controls across model lifecycle stages.
• Identify bottlenecks, propose optimizations, and drive platform-wide observability and scalability efforts.
• Contribute to documentation, onboarding materials, and internal tooling for self-service ML infrastructure.

Key Requirements

• 5+ years of experience in MLOps, DevOps for AI/ML, or Machine Learning Engineering.
• Clear knowledge of the end-to-end ML Lifecycle.
• Strong programming skills in Python and familiarity with common ML libraries (e.g., scikit-learn, TensorFlow, PyTorch).
• Knowledge and experience with Infrastructure-as-Code (IaC) tools, ideally Terraform.
• Proficiency in containerization (Docker).
• Experience with cloud platforms (GCP preferred, or AWS/Azure) and their ML-related services (e.g., for GCP: Vertex AI, Cloud Run, Kubernetes Engine, BigQuery).
• Experience with CI/CD tools (e.g., GitHub Actions).
• Good understanding of data pipelines, feature stores, and monitoring and alerting tools.

Nice to Have Skills

• Experience with SQL.
• Experience with Prometheus, Grafana, or SonarQube.
