Senior ML Architect

ICONMA, LLC • United States, United States • 3d ago

Our Client, a Mass Media and Entertainment company, is looking for a Senior ML Architect for their Burbank, CA/Hybrid location. Responsibilities:

Own the end-to-end ML platform architecture: data ingestion, feature management, training pipelines, model serving, and observability

Define a phased ML architecture roadmap - from foundational data and tooling layers through scalable orchestration and production serving - and maintain it as a living document

Make and document key architectural decisions (orchestration approach, serving patterns, feature store design, model registry) with clear rationale, trade-offs, and team alignment

Ensure the architecture scales as the number of models, data sources, and use cases grows

ML Development Platform Design

Define the standard ML development platform: environment management, dependency strategy, packaging conventions, and repository standards

Design the CI/CD architecture for the full ML lifecycle - from DS experimentation through training artifact publishing to production deployment

Select and specify the right tooling for the DS development lifecycle, with clear guidance on ownership, enablement, and expected usage

Establish the architectural boundary between experimentation, staging, and production systems

Orchestration & Data Flow Architect

Design the orchestration strategy and pipeline architecture for ML workflows, selecting the right tooling (e.g., Airflow, Dagster, SageMaker Pipelines) and defining how pipelines should be structured

Define the data flow from Snowflake through preprocessing, training, and inference - with a clear, visible architectural representation

Specify structured intermediate storage patterns and data contracts between pipeline stages

Establish lineage, observability, and monitoring requirements that the MLOps team implements

Deployment & Serving Architecture

Design an ML-first deployment strategy in AWS: model promotion paths, batch and real-time serving patterns, and infrastructure requirements

Define the feature store architecture and model registry design to support consistent, traceable model lifecycle management

Provide architectural guardrails that ensure infrastructure choices (e.g., ECS patterns, SageMaker configurations) serve ML requirements rather than constrain them

Evaluate and recommend AWS-native and third-party services against the org's specific ML requirements

Technical Leadership & Cross-Functional Alignment

Serve as the senior technical authority on ML platform decisions across engineering, data science, and infrastructure teams

Partner with the ML Ops Lead to ensure architectural designs are implemented to expectations, and that implementation feedback informs architecture evolution

Work closely with the Data Science team to understand experimentation patterns, tooling pain points, and deployment friction and design for them

Engage with Data Engineers and Architects to ensure the ML platform is well-integrated with the broader data ecosystem

Communicate architectural decisions clearly to both technical and non-technical stakeholders

Requirements:

8-12+ years of experience in ML Engineering, ML Architecture, or ML Platform/Infrastructure

Demonstrated experience designing ML platform architecture from scratch in AWS - with specific examples of systems you've architected end-to-end

Deep AWS expertise across services relevant to ML: SageMaker, ECS, Lambda, Step Functions, S3, IAM, RDS, and adjacent data services

Proven ability to drive technical alignment and set standards across multi-team, multi-repo environments without direct management authority

Exceptional communication skills - able to make complex architectural trade-offs legible to engineers, data scientists, and business stakeholders alike

Demonstrated experience designing ML platform architecture from scratch in AWS - with specific examples of systems you've architected end-to-end

Deep AWS expertise across services relevant to ML: SageMaker, ECS, Lambda, Step Functions, S3, IAM, RDS, and adjacent data services

Strong Python proficiency and fluency with the ML tooling ecosystem in production (e.g., MLflow, orchestration frameworks, feature stores)

Experience with infrastructure-as-code (Terraform, CloudFormation) and containerization at the architecture and standards level

Deep understanding of the full ML lifecycle and the specific challenges of bridging DS experimentation with production systems
