Job Role

AI/ML Platform Engineering focuses on building scalable engineering platforms, infrastructure, automation, and operational capabilities that enable AI and Machine Learning teams to develop, deploy, integrate, monitor, and operate AI/ML solutions efficiently and securely. AI/ML platforms provide standardized tools and services for model lifecycle management, MLOps, model serving, Generative AI, LLM applications, agentic AI, experimentation, deployment, observability, and governance. AI/ML Platform Engineering combines cloud infrastructure, software engineering, DevOps, MLOps, Kubernetes, automation, and AI technologies to create reliable and self-service platforms that accelerate enterprise AI adoption.

Data AI/ML (Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning) Engineering involves the use of algorithms and statistical models to enable systems to analyze data, learn patterns, and make data-driven predictions or decisions without explicit human programming. AI/ML applications leverage vast amounts of data to identify insights, automate processes, and solve complex problems across a wide range of fields, including healthcare, finance, e-commerce, and more. AI/ML processes transform raw data into actionable intelligence, enabling automation, predictive analytics, and intelligent solutions. Data AI/ML combines advanced statistical modeling, computational power, and data engineering to build intelligent systems that can learn, adapt, and automate decisions.

Definition of Proficiency Levels:

Foundational: This is the entry level of the skill, typically expected when starting a new role or working with the skill for the first time. You rely on strong manager support, coaching, and training as you build the capability to progress to higher proficiency levels.

Proficient: This is the level at which you are considered effective in the skill. You demonstrate more than just functional competence—you begin to have a noticeable impact in your role by applying the skill consistently and meaningfully. You require only minimal support, coaching, or training to apply the skill successfully.

Advanced: This is the level where you move beyond meeting expectations to actively leading, influencing, and delivering considerable impact across the wider business. You are seen as a role model, demonstrate the skill independently, and require little to no manager support.
