3 Month Contract | Remote | High-Impact
About the Role: We’re looking for an infrastructure-focused devOps / MLOps engineer who thrives at the intersection of machine learning, systems, and product delivery. This is a hands-on 3-month contract role responsible for deploying, monitoring, and scaling the testing and deployment infrastructure for a real-time ML-powered content moderation system used to detect and triage abuse, threats, and edge-case language.
In This Role, You Will:
- Design, build, and document a maintainable GCP cloud infrastructure CI/CD pipeline for real-time model serving and data workflows
- Deploy and optimize APIs for low-latency ML systems
- Automate model deployment, retraining, and evaluation (CI/CD for ML)
- Build observability tooling to monitor rollouts, errors, integration testing, and drift in ML pipelines
- Ensure infrastructure meets security, compliance, and uptime requirements
We’re Looking for Someone Who:
- Has 3–8 years of DevOps/Platform engineering experience deploying machine learning systems or high-availability backend systems.
- Ability to build CI/CD pipelines from scratch; familiarity with GitHub Actions or similar.
- Expert-level proficiency with Git and GitHub workflows and strong scripting abilities in Python, Bash, and/or Go.
- Experience with Google Cloud Run and Docker. Experience with Google Cloud Platforms, Docker, Kubernetes, Terraform .
- Familiarity with SOC 2 compliance requirements and security best practices (IAM, secrets, etc).
- Experience implementing monitoring, logging, and alerting systems (e.g., Prometheius, Grafana, ELK/EFK, OpenTelemetry).
- Can work cross-functionally with ML, security, and engineering teams to deploy safely and iterate fast.
- Brings a builder's mindset and bias for ownership in ambiguous environments.
What Success Looks Like in the 3 Months:
- You’ve deployed and monitored a real-time ML inference system with well-defined observability.
- You’ve implemented an API with latency under 1000ms for classifier-based inference.
- You’ve partnered with ML engineers to streamline deployment and retraining workflows.
- You’ve built logging and monitoring that gives insight into system performance and classifier behavior.
Work With Us: 10a Labs is committed to building an inclusive, equitable workplace where diverse backgrounds, experiences, and perspectives are valued. We encourage applications from candidates of all identities and walks of life, and we believe our work is strongest when it reflects the world we serve.
