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](https://azendo.co/services/dedicated-mlops-team/) at Azendo. ML platform engineers fit companies that [hire offshore developers](https://azendo.co/hire-a-dedicated-development-team-in-thailand/) 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. ## A remote ML Platform Engineer's first three months on your team. 1. Weeks 1 to 2Reviewing how each team trains, tracks and deploys models today. 2. Weeks 3 to 6Standardising experiment tracking, the model registry and shared environments. 3.

Our ML platform engineers build it full time. Chiang Mai and Bangkok, Thailand · UTC+7 ## 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. ## Add remote ML platform engineers to your team. Tell us how many teams train models, what they share today and where the GPU budget goes. We'll come back with the platform engineer we'd hire and the monthly fee. We need four weeks from signing to hire the right engineer.
