Senior MLOps Engineer, Forward Deployed
TEAM Forward Deployed Engineering (FDE), Predictive track, in Data Science & AI Engineering
REPORTS TO MLOps engineering lead
LEVEL Senior (6+ years)
LOCATION United States
THE ROLE IN ONE PARAGRAPH This is a hands-on MLOps engineering role. You will work across model training and refresh workflows, APIs, orchestration, data pipelines, production monitoring, and user-facing experiences such as model dashboards and training controls. When a customer needs a better model, a refresh workflow, or visibility into model health, you will help make it real: build the experience, connect it to reliable backend systems, validate the outcome, and operate it safely in production. You'll be our first MLOps engineer in the US, working closely with the MLOps team in India so customer work reaches production in days, not weeks. Most of your work is behind the scenes, with customer conversations when the technical details matter.
Build for the customer
- Productionize customer-tailored predictive models, configurations, and scoring workflows with validation, release, monitoring, and rollback paths.
- Build and improve UI workflows for training triggers, model refreshes, validation outcomes, model status, and operational troubleshooting.
- Enhance model dashboards that make model health, score changes, data quality, refresh status, and production issues understandable to internal users and customers.
- Build or modify the APIs, backend services, data contracts, and orchestration workflows behind those experiences.
- Automate model retraining, validation, promotion, and deployment workflows for customer engagements.
- Create safeguards for data quality, score distributions, threshold changes, and edge cases before model changes reach production.
- Monitor models and services for drift, data shifts, reliability issues, and operational regressions.
Productize for everyone
- Turn repeatable customer solutions into reusable product and platform capabilities with Product, Data Science, and Platform Engineering.
- Build deployment templates, reusable workflow components, and configuration-driven interfaces that support many customers without one-off operational work.
- Create self-service or assisted tools for teams to initiate training, monitor refreshes, review validation results, and troubleshoot model issues safely.
- Improve the MLOps platform where needed, including Kubernetes workloads, compute, pipelines, CI/CD, deployment tooling, and observability.
- Establish clear runbooks, release checklists, audit trails, and support processes for model operations.
- Identify recurring customer pain points and convert them into product requirements, platform improvements, or durable operational tooling.
What You'll Bring
- 6+ years of experience in MLOps, ML platform engineering, backend engineering, full-stack engineering, or related production engineering roles.
- Experience owning machine-learning systems in production, including training, deployment, monitoring, retraining, and incident response.
- Strong Python and SQL skills, including APIs, backend services, asynchronous workflows, testing, CI/CD, and observability.
- Experience building or materially contributing to internal tools, operational dashboards, or customer-facing product workflows.
- Comfortable debugging across the stack: UI, APIs, workflows, data pipelines, model artifacts, and production infrastructure.
- Experience releasing changes safely across multiple customers or production environments, including staged rollout, impact checks, and rollback.
- Working knowledge of Kubernetes and cloud infrastructure.
- Strong communication and judgment when balancing customer urgency, usability, reliability, and long-term maintainability.
- Nice to have: Fast API and Frontend experience.
- Airflow, Spark, MLflow, model registries, feature pipelines, or workflow orchestration.
- AWS, S3, Hive, distributed compute, and multi-tenant SaaS experience.
- Forward-deployed, consulting, solutions, implementation, or customer-facing engineering experience.
- B2B SaaS, go-to-market data, or predictive modeling experience.
What Success Looks Like
Within 3 months
- Understand the predictive-model lifecycle and improve at least one meaningful deployment, support, or visibility bottleneck.
- Bring clear release, monitoring, and support plans to active customer model engagements.
Within 6 months
- Common training, refresh, validation, and deployment workflows are materially more automated.
- Model dashboards or internal workflows provide clear visibility into model status, health, and refresh progress.
- Customer model changes move to production faster, with stronger operational controls.
Within 12 months
- At least one customer-specific solution has become a reusable product or platform capability.
- The team can reliably deliver and operate customer-tailored models without fragile manual processes or overnight handoffs.
Why this role is different: You won’t only maintain ML infrastructure. You’ll build the product experiences and production systems that make predictive models easier to launch, understand, refresh, and trust—then turn what works for one customer into something that benefits many.

Get Access To All JobsTips for Finding H-1B Visa Sponsorship as a Senior Mlops Engineer
Frame your MLOps scope for USCIS
Document that your role requires a degree in computer science, data science, or a directly related field. USCIS scrutinizes hybrid titles like MLOps more than pure software engineering roles, so your offer letter and job description should specify the theoretical and technical knowledge the position demands.
Check employer LCA filing history first
Use Migrate Mate to filter Senior MLOps Engineer roles by verified DOL Labor Condition Application history, so you only target employers who have actually sponsored H-1B petitions for comparable ML infrastructure positions, not just those who list sponsorship as a possibility.
Verify your wage level against OFLC data
Before accepting an offer, run your job title and metro area through the OFLC Wage Search to confirm your offered salary meets at least the Level II prevailing wage. A wage below the certified LCA level is a filing error that can trigger a DOL audit.
Identify cap-exempt employers in your pipeline space
Universities, nonprofit research labs, and government-affiliated AI institutes are cap-exempt, meaning your petition bypasses the annual lottery. MLOps engineers supporting academic model training pipelines or federal research workloads often qualify, and these employers can file year-round without waiting for April registration.
Time your job search around the H-1B registration window
USCIS opens H-1B registration each March for the fiscal year starting October 1. If you're on OPT, align your offer timeline so your start date falls after cap selection. A cap-gap extension covers your status between OPT expiration and October 1 if your petition is selected and pending.
Request premium processing for infrastructure-critical roles
Premium processing guarantees a 15-business-day USCIS decision on your I-129 petition. For senior MLOps positions where onboarding timelines affect production deployments, premium processing protects both you and your employer from extended uncertainty during adjudication.
H-1B Visa Senior Mlops Engineer: Frequently Asked Questions
Does a Senior MLOps Engineer role qualify as a specialty occupation for H-1B purposes?
Yes, provided the job requires at least a bachelor's degree in a specific technical field such as computer science, data science, or machine learning engineering. USCIS evaluates the position itself, not just the title. Your employer's job description should explicitly state the theoretical and applied knowledge required, since hybrid titles like MLOps receive closer scrutiny than traditional software engineering roles.
Which employers actually sponsor H-1B visas for Senior MLOps Engineers?
Employers who sponsor H-1B visas for MLOps roles appear in DOL's public LCA disclosure data, which records every certified petition by job title, wage level, and location. Migrate Mate surfaces this data so you can browse Senior MLOps Engineer roles filtered to verified H-1B sponsors, rather than applying to companies that list sponsorship as a possibility but have no filing history.
How does the prevailing wage requirement affect MLOps job offers?
Your employer must certify in the LCA that your offered salary meets the DOL prevailing wage for a Senior MLOps Engineer in your specific metro area. Wage levels vary significantly by location, with Level III and IV wages applying to senior roles. You can verify the applicable wage tier using the OFLC Wage Search before negotiating your offer.
Can I transfer my H-1B to a new employer if I switch MLOps roles?
Yes. Under H-1B portability, you can start working for a new employer as soon as they file a new I-129 petition on your behalf, without waiting for approval, as long as your prior petition was approved and you've maintained valid status. The new employer must file a fresh LCA and petition covering the specific MLOps role and work location.
Does MLOps work covered under a statement of work or contractor arrangement affect H-1B sponsorship?
It can. USCIS requires that the petitioning employer exercise day-to-day control over your work. If you're placed at a third-party client site, USCIS may issue a Request for Evidence questioning whether the sponsor is your true employer. Direct-hire roles at the sponsoring company are straightforward; staffing or consulting arrangements require additional documentation to establish employer control.
