MLOps Engineer

About this role

Nanit is moving families beyond overwhelm by transforming how parents understand their baby's early years. We combine advanced AI, real-world data from billions of sleep hours, and clinical expertise to deliver the clarity and confidence every parent deserves. Trusted by over one million families and backed by $125M in funding, we're building an entirely new category: predictive parenting intelligence.

Here, your work directly impacts millions of families. Our team of scientists, engineers, and parents is small but mighty - we share a mission to make early childhood easier, healthier, and more connected. If you want to work on technology that genuinely matters, join us.

As an MLOps Engineer at Nanit, you will work at the intersection of backend engineering and machine learning, building the engineering systems that turn Deep Learning and Computer Vision research into reliable, scalable production features used by hundreds of thousands of families.

What you'll be doing -

• Build Production AI Systems - Design and implement backend services and end-to-end AI solutions that integrate Deep Learning models, Computer Vision algorithms, and GenAI into real Nanit features.

• Power Experimentation and Validation - Contribute to the offline experimentation and validation layer, including POC environments that let the Algo team move from research to production confidently.

• Develop Data Pipelines - Build and maintain scalable data pipelines and big-data solutions that feed Nanit's AI capabilities reliably and with an eye on cost and scale.

• Own What You Ship - Take features end-to-end within your squad, from planning and design through implementation, deployment, and monitoring in production.

• Cross-functional Collaboration - Work closely with the Algorithms and Data teams to tackle complex, real-world problems, helping translate research into shippable, maintainable systems.

• Backend Guild Engagement - Actively contribute to a backend guild that drives Software Engineering and System Design best practices, guidelines, and standards across the R&D team.

Who You Are -

• Professional Experience - 3-5 years of hands-on backend software development experience, demonstrating solid coding skills and a foundational understanding of software design and architecture.

• Technical Proficiency -

• Production Systems and Cloud - Experience building and operating production-grade services on a cloud platform (AWS preferred), including familiarity with containerization (Docker/Kubernetes), CI/CD, and observability tools like Grafana and Prometheus.

• Programming - Strong command of at least one programming language, with Python or Rust being a strong advantage.

• Web Services - Proficiency in designing and maintaining web services and APIs, particularly with REST and WebSocket protocols.

• AI-Augmented Development - Hands-on experience using AI coding tools in your day-to-day workflow, with genuine curiosity to push their boundaries.

• Mindset -

• Engineering Quality - A commitment to clean, robust, and rigorously tested code - you treat quality as a first-class engineerin
