Job Description

Requried Skills: 3 years experience in Python.

3-5 years experience with Kubernetes

Experience configuring and operating ArgoCD for managed service deployment automation

The MLPT Polymer group supports a range of Machine Learning platform products including: Bolt, Hub, Lightning and many Data Platform systems. These are all internal production tools supported via multiple Polymer offerings, including authentication (Notary), authorization (Directory), and collaboration (Squad) services. The ML ecosystem at client has increasingly adopted Polymer services over the previous 3 years.

The team is lean, building and operating multiple services to internal customers. Critical objectives within the team are related to each and every service: high uptime/zero downtime (availability), efficiently scaled (up to 1000 requests per second) and performance (sub-second latency) for our customers.

With these milestone also comes the need to have high quality tooling and ability to respond swiftly to runtime situations.

As FTE resources are focused on P1 feature development and high SLA support to our customers, we are in need of an experienced contractor to provide support with infrastructure and CI/CD.

We require this role through the end of FY25 to complete building these tools. Once completed these tools will eliminate a lot of burden on the team for the future.
