One ML Platform Engineer, assigned to your product and fully managed.

We assign an ML Platform Engineer to your team full time and run everything around them: a service delivery manager who oversees delivery, training and coaching, the office and equipment, and HR and payroll. The price below is for a junior ML Platform Engineer; other levels are priced in your proposal, and how the monthly fee is built explains the arithmetic.

What an ML Platform Engineer does on a dedicated MLOps team.

Your own data scientists are their users. They standardise how each team trains, tracks and deploys, in your cloud account, and cut the time to a new model.

ML Platform Engineer skills and technologies

  • Building feature stores and training infrastructure shared across teams.

  • Standardising experiment tracking, model registry and reproducibility.

  • Managing compute and GPU scheduling, where cost escalates fastest.

  • Maintaining shared base images and environments so experiments are reproducible across teams.

  • Building self-service access so data scientists provision compute without raising a ticket.

ML Platform Engineer seniority levels.

Junior to lead. Platform work pays off once you have a portfolio of models to support, and a senior engineer usually designs it. Who designs and who builds is a question of levels, and levels are one of the inputs into how the monthly fee is built.

When your team needs an ML Platform Engineer.

The time to add one is when several models are in production and each is managed differently. The role sits beside the MLOps and machine learning engineers in MLOps engineering at Azendo. ML platform engineers fit companies that hire offshore developers for several models and want them built on shared foundations.

What we look for in a dedicated ML Platform Engineer.

We look for ML platform engineers who have run GPU workloads and know where the cost goes. They should standardise experiment tracking and environments, and give data scientists self-service access they will use.

Questions about adding an ML Platform Engineer to your team.

When is an ML platform worth building?

Once several models are in production, or several teams are building them in different ways. Before that, simpler tooling and a well-documented deployment path are usually enough. An ML platform engineer turns the repeated work of training, serving and monitoring into shared infrastructure every new model can reuse.

Can you manage GPU costs?

Yes, through scheduling, right-sizing, spot capacity and shutting down idle resources, which is where many ML infrastructure budgets can be brought under control. The engineer puts budgets and usage reporting in place too, so each team sees what its experiments cost and plans GPU time accordingly.
