## Job Description

## Core Responsibilities
- Designing, building, and maintaining highly available, scalable infrastructure to support intensive AI/ML workloads and real-time model deployments.
- Implementing robust monitoring, alerting, and observability systems to ensure system health, performance, and uptime across cloud and on-prem environments.
